Is this a rap video or is he trying to sell used cars? I expect this guy will be sued by the City of Batman, Turkey for not asking for permission to use their likeness, or something like that.

Talk about a stiff upper lip; I didn't see his move once. Does he have some kind of facial paralysis?

I wish I had speakers on my workomputer.

I know, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I just think that this makes it obvious why we are hated so much. After watching this video I hate American culture too!

I'm with kingmonkey on this one. If you want good rap, you gotta really look. I would suggest MC Chris, he's a forerunner of the nerdcore genre. You can't really go wrong with old school either.

Check out a song called Now by Eyedeas and Abilities. It's a good rap song, with a phenomenal MC, and socially relevant lyrics. It's also as far as rap can get away from being hip-hop. Also, Atmosphere (possibly Atmosphear) is pretty good.
