It's kind of Andrew WK-ish.

RAP MUSIC IS A PASSING FAD: Started by a white guy named Rick Rubin in 1985, rap music had its brief moment in the sun. This form of ilitaracy, often described as poetry hiding behind sampled music, had one positive effect: It allowed young rich white kids the ability to hold onto their lunch money a few days longer as the communication between them and their local thugs improved. This is not a racist statement, it happens to be the truth. But like a drunk party guest who can't find his car keys, rap music continues to overstay its welcome. Now calling itself "hip-hop," rap is trying to buy a new lease on life. I say let's end this charade once and for all.
HANK WILLIAMS AND JOHNNY CASH WERE NOT COOL: Wake up people! How long are we going to let this kinda stuff exist? Ask any kid in a record store today who their favorite recording artist is and nine times out of ten these mindless idiots will respond with the names of either Hank Williams or Johnny Cash. Boy, don't you sound special! What's the secret hand shake for this pathetic club. When was the last time you - or anyone you know, for that fact - bought a record by either of those men? Answer: Never! Believing that either of them made one iota of a contribution to rock and roll is like believing in Santa Claus past your 11th birthday. Be a man and face the facts. Do you think someone could really slide down a chimney! Certainly not Johnny Cash. The man in black my ass. You know who wears black? Fat ladies. Johnny Cash is a fat lady. Fat people aren't cool - and they definitely are not rock stars. As for Hank Williams? I'll take Neil Young over him any day.
