First and foremost: happy birthday to a man I would consider marrying just for the tax break, The Rawhide Kid! 27 years ago today was the first time he touched his mom’s vagina. But would it be the last?
In celebration of this momentous occasion, we are unveiling our first music video in the Budget-Ass Video Series. You’ve seen legends like Hollow da Don, Loaded Lux and Charlie Clips battle with rhymes, but have you ever seen two overgrown children battle Pokémon with rhymes?
“Battle Rap” was an early concept in the creation of Fear of Success and as soon as I told Rawhide about the sample I wanted to use, he cranked it out. Then he made a beat…
When I said Budget-Ass Video Series, I wasn’t kidding. The camera was borrowed (thank you 7000x to Karina who trusted me with expensive equipment and still hasn’t asked for it back), Andrea did all the hard work and then I edited it poorly. Seriously, an 8th grader could have done a better job editing than me. The only money that was spent was on those idiotic costumes. Didn’t even pay royalties to use the Pokémon sounds or footage. And now you understand why I’m giving the album away for free.
Can’t get away with watching YouTube at work? Check out the audio on Soundcloud.
