Wow. I'm speechless. There should be a new word for this type of awesome.
We could use Raul Julia as a new word for awesome, but that meant awesome before awesome was even invented.Quote:

Too bad he said "32-bit". Everyone knows the Neo-Geo is a true 24-bit system, not 32. SNK liked to lie in their ads, but not THAT much. So for now I am going back to playing my 40-bit Sega CD.
But otherwise this is full of awesome. :)
Wait, so Sega released a 40 bit system, then released the 32x which should be 32 bit, then they released the Sega Saturn which was also 32 bit? I think Sega needs to get some facts straight. :? ;)Quote:

Rap isn't music. There's no distinguishable beat or melody to it. :shame:
Rap's origin isn't very admirable. Wikipedia states it started in Africa, but they didn't state where exactly. Most likely to not offend anybody. I'm not saying any of you are idiots for liking it, but I don't call it music.
Though seriously, rap originated from African tribal spiritual chants. That isn't music.
i hate being that guy
but it has 8 bright buttons (even more if you count the white ones)
if he is going to count the second players stick why not the second players buttons

You should be around more often: http://www.sega-16.com/forum/showthread.php?t=10393
Seriously: This is the most awesome thing I've seen and heard in quite a while.
Dude, I dont really like or care for most rap/hip hop usually
but this song is awesome! lol
Technically, you're literally correct; rap isn't music, it's a way of vocalizing (as opposed to singing, spoken word, or sprechgesang). Hip-hop is music.Quote:

Using the term "High brow."
Haha. I love Nathan Barnatt. His awesomeness is beyond awesome!!!
:roll: So using the term "high brow" is gay too? Everything is gay now. That's just gay.Quote:

I have never been a big rap fan myself but I dont hate it, I do consider it a form of music, however I prefer rock even though most rock sucks ass these days. btw that song had more of a techno sound to the actual music then a tipical rap song.
I haven't even watched it. I'm only replying to Christuserloeser's childish attempt at making me feel like a fool. :roll:
Well, yes and no. In general, no. But a cappella music can be music. I don't think I've heard any a cappella rap recorded and presented as "music", but that would be possible too, in groups (like one rapper accompanied by a "human beatbox")Quote:

all I know is I really dig the Camerica NES/Commodore 64 sounding background music. I could do without the lyrics, in fact, I really want an MP3 of the background music to play while I play games with shitty/no music.
Ha! That one goes out to those who say the POSSNES (Piece Of Shit Super Nintendo Entertainment System) is more powerful than the GenesisQuote:

:D You must spread around reputation before giving anymore to ChristuserloeserQuote:

Hmm, that's pretty good. I might use that term some time.Quote:

Well sheesh. No need for any of you ladies to get your panties in a knot. Rap is to music as toilet humor is to comedy. Does that get my point across better?Quote:

Not really. I get the feeling that you've never given rap a fair chance, and honestly that's pretty sad. But whatever, you're not hurting me by being a close-minded fool.Quote:

Winter Games was also quite good but I'm sure somebody will pull some flaws out of his ass to try and prove it's bad just like all his other videos.Quote:

You have it the other way around. It's people like you, Knuckle Duster and Christuserloeser that are taking things way too seriously. And what do you mean by "more than a bit of truth there"? Oh boy I can't wait to hear this! :roll:Quote:

Cool, man. I'm really happy that you choose to be willfully ignorant. It is such a mature and "high brow" way of acting. (Do I need to punctuate this sentence with a smiley for you to understand that I'm being sarcastic here?)Quote:

Having watched that video again, I miss Sega and SNK more than ever. :|

Check out Jedi Mind Tricks, Snowgoons or Ice-T for example. Or thousands of very well done mixtapes by underground crews. Check out the excellent crossover-projects like Bodycount, Biohazard....
What´s always with the hate against rap music? Coming from the punk/hardcore scene, going to shows here in Germany for 5 years now, listening to electronic musik/rap/classic always meant a refreshing and enjoying change for me. As much as I like moshing shit up in the pit, I like to chill out to some decent tunes with my buddies. Stop being nazi about music, jesus....
Great video by the way, and great electro/chiptune track in the background. Could´ve been used for a serious, non-funny track as well.
Exactly!Quote:

Let's cut the bullshit right here. I'm going to re-phrase my original beef with rap, if that's allowed by Musictuitional Law.Quote:

Rap is essentially a poem with a beat to it. That barely constitutes as music. Yes, I will admit by the most loose usage of the term "Music", Rap is music. I will take back my comments about Africa, but the high amount of crap Rap (lol) is rather discerning. Simply put, rap is not my kind of music. In fact I prefer instrumental to anything with singing, but I don't hate that.
Will you all stop acting like pre-pubescent kiddies now? Or perhaps 12 - 14 year olds, that's more fitting of the situation. You all call me immature, but you fail to look at yourselves and deny the hypocrisy.
