madcrasher is a white, Christian rapper who considers himself as much an electronica producer as a hip-hop artist. He tends to explore lyrical depth while maint
There's a whole lot of fakers and copycats out there. Everyone and his brother's trying to be the next big white rapper. What makes you think I'm any different, meh? As John Reuben so nicely put it, "I really know there's nothing new under the sun, but yet, I want to do it like it's never been done." So have some fun, download some songs, and drop me an e-mail and tell me what you think. Constructive criticism is appreciated, and if you're interested in joining forces, I can arrange that.

Story behind the song
Well, I felt like poking fun at the incredible amount of unoriginality on popular radio. It's supposed to be tongue-in-cheek... more like... who knows. (Remixers: contact me for vocal samples)
Lyrics
Can't play guitar, Can't sing like Lance Bass, No grace with the all the Crazy pop guys With the crazy pop eyes Sing all the shallow pop songs That get no gongs But my voice is a little pitchy And my music style's not pop-py. I can rap but it's not popular 'Cause I'm not all hip-hop-ular. But it's all cool, and it's all nice 'Cause I still don't have head lice But I can't go on if it doesn't matter And if it doesn't matter then why all the sadder Little boys little girls In this tiny little world And this song makes no sense! I can't write a song for the world to sing, Don't have what the world wants me to bring, So I guess I don't see That I'm just not on key. I can't write a song for the world to sing, Don't have what the world wants me to bring, But when it all comes down, Will these songs still be around? It's not quite as simple as you might think To set a whole lot of lyrics to a catchy pop lick It's an art form that I'm still trying to master While the rest of the world turns faster and faster First we got OutKast and then we got Nelly, Then P-Diddy with the laundry that's smelly, Yellowcard, Switchfoot, U2 and more While we wait for the next big thing that's in store. It's a vicious cycle that's never gonna stop As long as we're all still addicted to Pop or Hip-Hop; But is that even the case When the entire South watches Nascar race? I mean, come on, people, let's get real With a style of music that says how we feel What is it? *pffft* See if I know. I've still got to write half the songs in this show! Once again madcrasher's gone on for too long Without mentioning the point of this song. The point of this song is that it's wrong To have a song without a point that goes too long, For me at least. A song's gotta have a point Other than "I wrote this smoking a joint." (Don't do that kids, drugs are bad.) I digress! I'm not here to tell you what style's the best. We all got different tastes and dislikes: Not everyone likes to go on nature hikes, Not everyone likes top ten radio But some do. Why? I can't claim to know. What I do is that we gotta respect Different people's styles that they elect to like. Meanwhile, let it be said If you don't like techno you're good as dead. This song just hit three minutes and so it's done.
