So, I just played Katawa Crash...

RED FLAG. Rhyming a word with itself is bad lyrical form.

Can somebody tell that to nearly 1/3 of all rappers in the rap game today?

Why bother? They won't listen, and who really cares? Rap is garbage. Drugs, bitches, money, wearing your pants half down your ass like you're just begging for a prison-style rape scene. It makes music and black people look bad by association with it. And the fact it's called a game should indicate how little actual talent is needed to do it. I've never heard instruments played in rap. Never heard vocal ranges, pitch, harmony, and a fair deal of it (though not all) even fails to keep a melody. Hell, now that I think on it, it's missing about half the elements of music. Sometimes it's even missing real words since a few of them are fond of making up complete bullshit just to fill up a verse. Not to mention every jackass in it shooting the other jackasses in it. Hell, Gaga and Bieber are a bane upon music too but they never got so retarded as to go around shooting people. Rap (and BET) is the worst shit to happen to American Africans since Jim Crow. (Sidenote: If you're a rapper who actually has any sort of worthy subject matter or brain cells, good for you. But it doesn't negate the damage done by the idiots in the genre and I don't go off on tangents to ramble about the good in stuff.)

And furthermore, THIS. This, one million fucking times.

Inb4 "Racist!" Racism: The philosophy that a given race is inferior/superior to all others. I'm not talking about a whole race, I'm talking about a segment of people who are just coincidentally of the same race. But it's not the race that makes them inferior to every other organism on the planet. It's their mindset, behavior, and general way of life perpetuating every stereotype ever made about them and generally serving as a prime example FOR racists via their constant asinine bullshit. If MLK was one step forward, these people are twelve steps back.

Fun fact: The term for rhyming a word with itself is "identical rhyme". It's not exactly a rarity but still a faux pas.

Katawa Crash makes for a nice epilogue to the whole game. You go from "aw, it's over" to "Pffffwahahahaha!" in record time.

I like to think Katawa Crash is a dystopian future where Kenji was right and men serve as human cannonballs, getting punted around by feminists for entertainment.

Sidenote: Hanako telling The Aristocrats joke...You are a horrible person for even thinking of that, you know. Never change.

How cute. An obvious incorrect general statement about rap and hip hop music.

It makes music and black people look bad by association with it.

Shit. Never knew Nujabes was black. I thought he was Japanese.


Sure looks black to me too!

And the fact it's called a game should indicate how little actual talent is needed to do it.

If there's little talent for rapping, than why not everyone is rapping and making money as well as producing beats and music? If it is so easy that is?
I mean, I'm a music major (violin and piano) and as well as a composer and believe me, trying to produce a hip-hop/rap beat is MUCH harder than composing a song with staff music and notes because FL Studio and DAWs don't use staff music.

I've never heard instruments played in rap.

OH HAI COMMON!



OH HAI J-DILLA! (he credited knowing how to play the cello to helping him become a rapper and being a producer before his death [cancer]).

OH HAI AEROSMITH AND RUN DMC!



OH HAI TUPAC!

Never heard vocal ranges,

OH HAI LAURYN HILL!



OH HAI OOBERGEEK!


OH HAI EMINEM's LOVE ME

pitch, harmony, and a fair deal of it (though not all) even fails to keep a melody.

Idunno man. I can hear key changes, chords, rhythmic patterns, tonic, tonal pitches, etc. in hip hop just as much as jazz, orchestra, rock, metal, and other genres of music. :V

Not to mention every jackass in it shooting the other jackasses in it.

(I mean, Ice Cube didn't have to use his AK, none of his friends got shot, and he got laid. ANd it's fucking South Central L.A. of all places that this is happening!)


(An heartfelt tribute to his mother. Don't hear anything about shooting people)


(A hip-hop song about fucking star gazing. As in, laying down in your backyard in a cool, mellow, nice night counting stars.)


(It's fucking Hanyuu from Higurashi. She's too innocent and sweet to shoot somebody!)


(A rap song about despair and hopelessly and yet, that there's hope. Still don't hear no gun shots)

Hell, Gaga and Bieber are a bane upon music too but they never got so retarded as to go around shooting people.

Oh wow. A fact! :V

Rap (and BET) is the worst shit to happen to American Africans since Jim Crow.

...did you just honestly compare hundred of years of inhumane bullshit, racism, hatred, pain and suffering done to my people via an inhumane law to a genre of music and a piss-poor TV station? Really? Fucking really?

That's so cute. You think I was about to pull out the race card! HOORAY FOR STEREOTYPES!



OH! Before I go and leave you, here's a nice parting gift from me to you: KATAWA MASHUP!

[Helbereth]

Just gonna leave these two pennies out on the sidewalk here:

The problem with racism is the immediate implication that you're a racist even if all you're doing is making derogatory jokes; which are harmless unless there's malicious intent behind them. Your poor reaction, taking offense to something innately harmless, is an indication of your inner racism more than anything else.

If it is being done intentionally, then it's fine to counterattack, but wasting time and effort on every mediocre attempt at humor just tires your argument and makes it less effective when someone is actually being maliciously racist.

I love everything about this.

I'm sure you've heard this one before, but I am a big fan of:
