Re: Karl's Rap on Ring Road is straight-up Ali-G
the point is, what's cheesy to you may not be cheesy to me. personally, i find Born Slippy, TMO etc, the "epic moments" of the live set to be extremely cheesy. how can you get more cheesy than a song who's chorus is YOU BRING LIGHT IN? and another song that has all the fucking hillbillies and random people shouting LAGER LAGER LAGER? it is straight up populist cheese.
i suppose this is karl's version of bernard sumner rapping on the first Electronic album. remember Feel Every Beat? i never considered it to be a rap really, just a diff. delivery.
it's just words about what he saw walking around town. anyone can write epic tracks with hands in the air choruses and synth stabs, to me, that's cheesier than anything on this album. i'd rather hear karl rap lyrics about walking around london than hear another YOU BRING LIGHT IN or LAGER LAGER LAGER epic moment.
