A rap song / video:

I listen to a lot of rap, and I have to say this guy’s flow actually isn’t too bad.  I thought I was going to have to claim *trash emoticon” when I saw the old revolver (not .22LR caliber), and the two random .22LR rounds in the foreground rapping behind some makeshift mic setup in his mom’s living room.  I know a parent’s living room when I see one, and no I’m not talking single moms from Tinder (because truth be told I swerve those, although for Royal Nonesuch’s mom as you know I’ll make the exception.).  I think the song would be better off with a different video, or no video at all in my opinion.  This current video doesn’t really help convey the message.

All around nice work J-Jon.. I like the message.  It’s not anti-gun, and it’s not pro-gun… it’s just like the chorus says “Bussin your gun don’t make you a gangsta”.

3:08 – “Responsibility makes u a gangsta”.   Oh word?  Well in that case I’m like WC, Ice Cube, and Mack 10 “Westside Connection” levels of gangsta. I’m surprised J-Jon didn’t ask if I wanted a feature on the track. I would have started off like “Turn my headphones up UHhhhhhhhhhhhh… louder Uhhhhhhhhhhhh.”

P.S. – When will people stop self-proclaiming that something they did “went viral”.  Damn that term is so overused.  Dude’s video has 6128 views right now.  I’m happy for him, but that’s not viral by any stretch.

Thoughts?

Gat tip: Guns.com who seemingly bought into the “viral” claim.
