Jump on the bandwagon now because this is going to be huge. It's basically a dead baby version of the popular "rapper tag" game where rappers upload videos of themselves rapping and finish by tagging in yet another rap person. Dead baby rapper tag is totally different, but also its completely the same thing.

Greatest Rapper of All Time Senate Hearings Continue

WASHINGTON, May 23--Today the US Senate Committee to Determine the Greatest Rapper of All Time continued a week long debate that shows no signs it will be resolved.



Democrats opened the session with a diatribe from Joe Biden extolling the virtues of Jay-Z, saying "Jay has released so many classic compositions, from Reasonable Doubt to The Blueprint and The Black Album." Republicans were less than impressed with this, although Speaker John Boehner admitted that he may be one of the greatest alive, he stated that Jay-Z has put out too much filler and dumbed down his lyrics for commercial appeal, citing songs such as "Girls, Girls, Girls".



The Republican caucus was pushing for The Notorious B.I.G, advancing that his amazing flow and delivery put him over the top despite his limited output. The Republican front was not a united one, however, as Sally Kearn continues to champion Eminem and many affiliated with the Tea Party are pushing for Tupac Shakur to be considered. Ron Paul made a heartfelt speech about the great West Coast rappers as he complained they are being ignored in the debate.



The issue appears to have reached a standoff as Republicans in the House are threatening a Government shutdown unless a rider proclaiming Rakim as the "God of rap" is added to the Greatest Rapper of All Time bill. Democrats were initially considering the compromise but then President Obama broached the subject of Lil B and all the Republicans stood up and walked out of the room.

Beastie Boys, New Album and Movie

The hot new Beastie Boys jawn "Hot Sauce Committee Part 2" has been making quite a splash in white people rap circles. Included with the album is a short film "Fight for Your Right Revisited".

The cinematic tour de force stars John C. Reilly, Will Ferrell and Jack Black as the Beastie Boys, who go back in time to rap battle the original Beastie Boys (Seth Rogen, Elijah Wood and Danny McBride).

Here is a short clip from the movie...



Beastie Boys have been one of the most important pioneers of white boy rap music since the mid '80s. Their incessant references to freeing Tibet and irrational penchant for shitty things from the '70s have warmed our hearts for over 2 decades.

Want to know what I thought about the new album? I didn't listen to it but I'm sure its fine. The track featuring Nas sucks ass, obviously. Did I mention I don't like Nas?
