This is What We Want When We Say Different, But Airable!
I love this rap...and I'm an old white guy (not that I will admit that in public)!
This is a hip hop recap of 2005, and it's entertaining, enaging and fun. This morning I was listening to the 80s protest song Sun City. I want to draw some parallels, obtuse ones to be sure, but the passion is similar. There is a nice sense of seriousness about it, but not anger or despair.
The listing of events and commentary lines are wonderfully woven. Will kids relate? Maybe, but I do think they will listen and so will the old folks too because like the words!
I would like the producer to provide an intro and outro script. That would save PDs a bit of time in writing one themselves.
Stations could still use this even this late in the year. Go for it!
