Comedian and actor Aziz Ansari is already noted BFFs with Kanye West and Jay-Z (he makes a brief cameo in the music video for "Otis"), so Tumblr site Emceez Ansari helpfully lets us know what it would be like if he were a rapper, too.
If P. Diddy can change his name and Willie Nelson can release a reggae album, why can't Snoop Dogg do both? The 40-year-old rapper formally announced today that he would be changing his name to Snoop Lion and abandoning rap to focus on reggae.
At a recent press conference, the newly-christened Snoop Lion described his life-changing visit to a Rastafarian temple while in Jamaica recording for his new album:
"I didn't know that until I went to the temple, where the High Priest asked me what my name was, and I said, 'Snoop Dogg.' And he looked me in my eyes and said, 'No more. You are the light; you are the lion.' From that moment on, it's like I had started to understand why I was there."
His raps are slick, but is it possible to pick something less original to whine about than the tired your/you're mistake?
WARNING: The language gets pretty real in this video.
Not enough "flow" to be a rap, but at least it reads well. This is why English majors aren't rappers.
From that game that's basically like Pictionary, except apparently there aren't any rules about drawing words.
Developer Robb Böhnke hacked Siri to rap Biggie's "Hypnotize" to compete in the Music Hack Day Project.
Neat stuff, but we have yet to program robots to have flow. The tech just isn't there yet.
