“Rap” and “hiphop”
Dear. Holy. Fucking. Crap.
Was my first reaction to: http://www.golakes.co.uk/wordsworthrap - Cumbria tourist board’s latest attempt to engage with the yoof (seen in today’s Guardian). You cannot yet see this video on You Tube, despite the title, “Wordsworth… for the You Tube generation”.
At what point in recent human history has it EVER been a good idea to commission a rap to get the kids to like something they never will.
I can imagine the group of middle aged men sitting in the Cumbria council chamber, trying to come up with innovative, ground breaking ideas. Cigarettes are smoked, tea is consumed, foolscap pads with Cumbria logos embossed on the corners are doodled on… then in a 1950’s BBC announcer voice, Rupert Smitheringly-Gaston says “I know - A rap. That’s what the kids of today like. Now lets go fox hunting.”
I urge you to watch the whole thing through as MC Nuts, the rapping Cumbrian squirrel, pops a cap in the asses of couple of bitches (ramblers). Muvva fukka.
Check it.
