Adam AOK with Verbal Diarrhea: comedian or ironic genius?
Some people think rapping is too easy. Take The Lonely Island, for example. Their song "We're Back" is a prime example of how good singing, good intrumentals, good background(fame-wise), a heavy rap narrator voice and taking turns at spitting verses can work for the regular public, even thought the theme of the song is 100% off. They're singing about how unusable, small and disgusting their penises are. They called it "fake-rap". It's a great metaphor for what is always going on in rap industry. Take the same characteristics, from good singing to bad theme and you have almost every rap song out there. People rhyming about their dogs, jewelry, houses, cars, friends, family, affairs, everything they can think about. Now that's just something that rap's not about. You jam a rotten tomato in a Tiffany's jewelry box, and when you open it, it's still gonna be a rotten tomato. Nothing sparkly's gonna come out. But I guess that's what regular listeners think when they meet good instrumentals, a famous artists and some couple thousand of views. They immediately think "whoa, this guy must be good!".
We beg you, please consider, then after disparaging him, reconsider this artist. Adam's called his art comedic rap, but we see much more in it. He's intentionally put a nice flow to his song, so he can raise awareness on what actually steals everybody's mind when they listen to music. He's intentionally named his so called future album "Seamen and Salmon": rappers do have the stupidest names lined up for their albums. Just check out some of these album names: Gucci Mane has 3 albums called "Breakfast", "Lunch" and "Dinner"; Sauce Twinz just got an album out, it's called "Sauce Theft Auto"; King Louie's "Drilluminati"; Young Chop - "Fatgang"; Hardo - "Trapnati"; Rich Homie Quan - "If You Ever Think I Will Stop Goin' In Ask RR (Royal Rich)" and so on. The guy's literally making a list of rap cliches just to show how idiotic the listening world has become. Study his moves, study he's poses. Listen to the song like that, as a very ironic reply to what we call art today, and you'll see that his song is really worthwhile. Peace!
