wow 3 dudes who all came to fame as MTV personalities on their road to becoming funny white internet rappers. does jesse camp rap yet?

this is ABSOLUTELY my bailiwick

It's just a blur to me. I think there was a "dick short like danny de vito" and "she dropped to her knees and did the tim tebow" in there somewhere.

al you can do better self-parody than that

xxxp

that was a genuine amazed observation! the first part anyway, the second part was just trolling.

haha ok

the "looked out on my back porch" zing on riff raff haunts my thoughts btw

lol

if i try really hard to be better at self-parody will you post my youtubes and worship me ironically?

sure

i'd have to see the youtubes first, but possibly, yes.

i worship al shipley, the actor ironically

also i understand that riff raff's whole thing is soaked in irony but my appreciation for him is mostly genuine.

haha this is not the thread for it but i probably SHOULD share with ilx the youtube link for the student film horror movie i once starred in for a college friend

"next year i'm in the movies, quentin tarantino"

we can only hope

can't see youtube at work but maybe i will put it on 77 this weekend (xpost)

tarantino would totally cast riff raff, too

iirc there was a thread where latebloomer posted his old homemade horror movie youtubes

one thing i do like about Riff Raff is that he stole Whitefolkz's career

it's riff raff day on the internet i guess

http://gawker.com/5912835/riff-raffs-got-a-record-deal-making-sense-of-the-most-viral-human-being-in-music

piece is good tho

every day is 'lonely blogger thinkin baout the societal ramifications of white rappers' day on the internet

I asked Riff Raff in an email interview if he'd ever had problems with the law and he replied, "Yeah, I do actually have a problem with them because every time they come around they want to give u ticket to pay them ... But then one time I tried to pull a police man over and ask him for money and he wouldn't give it to me .. Why?"

Also I would v much like it if one day Riff Raff did in fact own a diamond-encrusted school bus.

Although he gained notoriety from his appearance on the show, briefly changed his rap name from Riff Raff to MTV Riff Raff after it aired, and got the MTV logo tattooed on his neck, Riff Raff does not like to talk about From G's to Gents anymore: "They were going to have my name be Hector on the show and they weren't gonna let me wear my chain," he told me in an email last week. "I would like to never allow magazines to ask me about it at all, because that is to me what Rihanna is to Chris Brown. Nothing good came from it."

I was reading it and thinking "man this article's excruciating" so I stopped, scrolled up and saw who wrote it and I was like ah of course, markers

\(^o^)/

really?

not really, it's just a running joke about how ilx poster 'markers' and pitchforkreviewsreviews auteur 'david shapiro' are two sides of the same ambiguously vapid indiedude coin

this is pretty excruciating:

"Holograms on my hand gave me a tanned wrist
Diamonds dancing on my fist look like a blank disc
Teriyaki suit with the lemon Fanta
Heavyweight, heartburn: Mylanta

The first line means that the diamonds in his jewelry look like holograms and reflect the sun to tan his wrist. The diamonds in his ring look like blank CDs. The last two lines are free-associative, but it seems like they're obliquely about a fat man."

ty 4 taking the xplanation bullet

ah what an xp

His rhymes often owe more to Dr. Seuss than they do to Dr. Dre, and it's exciting to hear rappers rap like this, without concern for the boundaries of the genre.

i agree with that sentence

i like the piece

"His rhymes often owe more to Dr. Seuss than they do to Dr. Dre" is not incorrect but is still the saddest piece of lol rap criticism ever written

1. Trying to get "behind the mask" of riff raff misses the point of riff raff 2. How on earth could you write a piece like that without acknowledging the giant elephant of RACE 3. Tko capone's "gucci louis" has many more times as many views as any riff raff song which makes me o_O at the disproportionate coverage but never underestimate media fascination with a cartoonish white rapper

those are def harry potter hits dude. a girl i know who had a minor role in HP has 5000+ twitter followers all called stuff like potterhead574.

tko capone is kinda interesting in his own right, but i think riff raff is much more interesting in many ways than capone, even if he doesn't have a "hit" with the views of "harry potter"

perhaps it'd be possible to put this theory to the test if Riff Raff made a song that was titled after an extremely famous pop culture phenomenon

are you talking about squirt?

lol

harry potter fans is crazy maine is all i'm sayin
