Wow, that was just awful.

  I enjoy rap a lot but I got to agree with you. It was painful.

another example of how rap is harder to pull off than, say, a funny limmerick… or something else that doesn’t require years and years of work to master

This wasn’t so bad. I actually enjoyed it. Not anywhere near as painful as that anti-Christmas song that was being publicized some days back.

Dan Bull’s anti-pope rap was so good i bought his album. This obit for Christopher, while touching, was terrible. Keep up the good work. Every artist hits a bump in the road once in a while. And with things like this, Dan, it is the thought that counts. Thanks for remembering Hitch.
