I don't like rap, so this is horrible to me. No Mario game's music needs lyrics. :shame:
This is what I call clever:
I realize it's ancient, but it's still better than the SML Rap.
The guy sounds awfully familiar....
Those Gameboy Mario's always looked so fun to play, shame they never released them on NES or something,
because i can't stand the horrible gameboy look. (no not even the super gameboy can make me change my mind)
Would have been great NES games imo.
Hey hey, It's Duane and Brando. Those guys are geniuses when it comes to that stuff. You should check out the Megaman 2 Tribute they did.
Also, I love how it ends in an amazing belch.
There's also this:Quote:

The best Nintendo rap ever is Mega Dre, hands down.
I like this better:

Rap isn't music. There's no distinguishable beat or melody to it. :shame:Quote:

At 1:47 anyway...lol
Yes it's rap, but it's not music.
Yes, go ahead, don't even listen to it. I see.
Here's the instrumental.
It's got someone playing bass, keyboard, and everything.
Unless you consider a lack of bleeding electric guitar to be "not music."
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers it ain't.
It doesn't even repeat the same two notes like all the crappy "music" that comes out today does.
Don't even get me started on that group the "Yeah Yeah Yeah's"
Though to be honest, I do like their song "Tic"
How's it go?
"You make me...you make me...you make me...tic tic tic tic tic tictic tic tic tic tic tictic tic tic tic tic tictic tic tic tic tic tictic tic tic tic tic tictic tic tic tic tic tictic tic tic tic tic tictic tic tic tic tic tic"
Or their slow song...
"Oh, say say say say say say say say say say say say say"
Have the same two notes on guitar and drums repeating, and bang, hit song, complete CD, and million dollar tours.
Great job. (this was not a joke, and the Yeah Yeah Yeah's really do repeat themselves this much, it's not an exaggeration, sorry if I've offended any Yeah Yeah Yeah's fans.)
Hmm, on the topic of VG related rap:

With all due respect, you're an idiot. I'm guessing your only experience is the crap they play on the radio nowadays, but there's plenty of great rap out there if you're actually willing to approach it with an open mind (guessing you've never done this). And no distinguishable beat? I can only surmise that you've never actually listened to any hip-hop, having made a (completely incorrect) blanket statement like that.Quote:

Now actual singing with an orchestra. THAT is music because it takes real skill and has you know, MUSIC. You need to have a VERY skilled voice that can handle highs and lows with actual tone.
Although, I just know you're gonna tell me that Rap is some sort of exact science and only the most elite can do it. Then tell me why they are wasting their talent on such low brow entertainment?
That's the most close minded, ridiculous, pointless, aimless, stupid, RACIST thing I've tried to comprehend in a while.Quote:

Just like YOU! :D
Though seriously, rap originated from African tribal spiritual chants. That isn't music.
How is that not music ?
This just proves to me that you've only listened to highly processed, pre-packaged radio rap. Rap can have live instrumentation! Rap can be very clever! There's more to wordplay than just "memorizing your lines" (what, the words just write themselves!?). Lots of rap has melody, EVERY rap that's worth a shit (i.e., none of the stuff you've listened to, apparently) has a strong beat. You don't know what you're talking about.Quote:

Music does not need "actual singing with an orchestra" to be Music. By that logic, no electronic or video game music, chiptunes, whatever would be music either. A lot of punk musicians can't carry a note, I suppose they don't fall under the banner of "musician" to you, either? Just because you don't like mainstream rap doesn't make it "not music." I don't like Nintendo, but I wouldn't go ahead and say that Mario 64 isn't a video game.Quote:

Ha, I don't think there's any danger of that. You come in here, claim that rap isn't music, and then use some bizarre "music = exact science only to be performed by the highly elite" rationale to justify your lack of knowledge on the subject. At least 17days does his homework.Quote:
