I ripped off the Beastie Boys 'Desperado'..
 

Yeah well what you gonna do. Rapping and beat no-where as good of course. Help a brother out with some views? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oxpL2WQ8hM4

**maybe be kind and don't dislike though even if you hate it.. (some hard work went into it regardless of quality, and people on youtube can be so cruel)

I peeped it. Beats nice, never can go wrong with the Big Beat loop. The content was a bit too harsh for me. Towards the middle it seemed like one crass sex joke after another. Especially the rabies, fucking your babies line. That turned me off. Not my cup of tea.

The video had nice production. Not bad for jokey type rap. I can sit through it once.

I'm with Mic. I was definitely surprised by the video quality….loved it. Song is meh….not something I would listen to more than once but if I was one of the 3 MCs who put it together I'd be pretty stoked about the whole thing!

Nice work!!! (y)

Yeah I probably wouldn't want to sit through it more than once either. We wrote the lyrics about 2 years ago, they're pretty terrible. I was going for a 2 Live Crew homage initially.

This is a political themed one I wrote and shot last month - which I think was more of a success. We released it around the time of the NZ elections, and got a few views due to that - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=scopklCWuqE

I could feel the 2 Live Crew homage vibe. If I was 16 again I would be in heaven! But, sadly I'm old now and I can't play those tunes now without wincing.

I do dig the video and the beat. I'll check out that other tune asap!
