I know everyone lost their minds over that dude rapping about breakfast last week (our take in the Guyism offices: Meh). But here’s someone more deserving. This is Khaliyl, a two-year-old, and he has an amazing flow for someone who, you know, can’t talk. Read more

Dressage is basically horse ballet (Wikipedia can drop more knowledge on you) and, in 2006, Danish rider Andreas Helgstrand did that with his horse, Blue Hors Matiné. But, for some reason, someone set that video to Lil Kim’s song “Lighters”. The result is fantastic. Read more

VIDEO: Meet 50 Tyson, your new favorite (awful) rapper

I can’t say I’m much of a rap connoisseur these days, but I do know that when attempting to rap, you should attempt to rhyme words and perhaps maintain some sort of rhythm to your speech. Saying the word “Remixxxxx” does not a hip hop song make. But don’t tell that to the young man ... Read more

The Worst Rapper Ever: International edition

I once declared a young white rapper named Boostalk the Worst Rapper Ever. And I may seriously need to reevaluate that. This entry via Buzzfeed of a gentleman named Raed (or RAE2THEMOTHERF*CKEND) from Australia is certainly worthy of consideration for the title of Worst Rapper Alive. Read more

Advancements in white rapping have been halted indefinitely

There have been quite a few prominent white rappers in recent years…Eminem, Asher Roth, um…Snow. But none can match the impact on hip-hop that these two young men, Young Bowman and T-Hines will have on the community with their song, “‘Bout It, ‘Bout it”. Read more
