Though we could picture Colorado’s own Brad Jones in this video, it’s “At Least He’s Not Your Legislator” material as far as we can see–meaning no locals were harmed in its production. Once you start watching, note where the pause button is located (lower left) in case you need to mash it reflexively while gagging:
Daniel McCarthy of the American Conservative doesn’t find this very helpful:
Hip-hop is perilous for conservative-movement types because, especially where white rappers are involved, it’s a medium fraught with irony. Note that the successful white rappers have not been those who take themselves seriously (think Vanilla Ice) but those who have a high degree of absurdity or irony in their lyrics (think Eminem or the Beastie Boys). Here we get two Dartmouth prepsters rapping, which is ironic, but the message they’re trying to get across, although poorly conceived, is not meant to be ironic at all…
He just doesn’t get the fullness of the irony, yo.

“Jesus Christ, Ronald Reagan and Atlas Shrugged”
“Young Con Anthem” is the new “I’m On a Boat”, as far as I’m concerned.
why did I have to watch this on a Monday ? This is like a bad train wreck. The first time I made it about 25 seconds, the second to 1:46. I don’t think I can muster the strength for a third.
as long as we’re doing rap, my brother sent me this one. Anyone who has lived in DC will get a chuckle, and its actually good unlike our young cons because the guy kinda has the parody thing down:
of Faux sNooz, Fair & Balanced (TM) as the intellectual heavy-weight among conservative women?
Gitmo terrorists now in our neighborhoods?
Not only is it self-parody in it’s highest form…but, artistically speaking, it’s just really bad.
Looks just like the old face – white, rich, and male.
of Toe Tapping Larry Craig and the Singing Senators.
this is awesome.
I have a deck of cards called
GayReally Straight Republican Hypocrites Playing Cards which I acquired from a wares dealer at the DNC.You can see from the image at that link that Craig is the King. Richard Curtis is the King and Haggard is the Jack.
Silly rich crackers
Pretending that their rappers
Running at the mouth with their sport coats and their Dockers
Unaware that they’re sounding like fools
Legacy appointments to their poppy’s Old School
Self-parody is a term that is used
Callin’ out the irony of establishment tools
at :45, they show Baby Santa. This is false. Santa is eternal never assumed the form of a human child.
When will these blaspheming Catholics get their bible right?
At that point I stopped watching and started praying.
it’s merely a transposition of a single letter. http://www.landoverbaptist.org…
Landoverbaptist.org is the REAL TRUTH. The REAL WORD of God.
I wear this shirt to church every Sunday. Of course, I just wear it in silence.
I only made it to 0:19.
You’re one tough SOB/DOB.
“Where eeeeaaagles sooaaarrr…”
Hilariously bad. Thanks for sharing.
I’m sure they’ll get to play golf with Rush Limbaugh after this.
It’s talent. These guys have none. Less than none.
You keep thinking there’s going to be a joke, or some credits, or something, and it’s just that. Black screen with absolute silence.
It’s almost Kaufmanesque in its horrible brilliance.
how to lay the pavement. Everybody should pave the road in front of their houses in any way they want. Personally, I like paving it with landmines. That’ll teach people to drive cars where I can see them.
The tall one, Josh Riddle, aka Stiltz, is a Colorado kid, a Grandview grad, although he spent a post-graduate year slumming (and fine tuning his mad skills) at Northfield Mount Hermon. His dad is the President of a financial services company, BRC Investment Management Company. Last year, the senior Riddle contributed $300 to Schaffer for US Senate, and $1,000 to Coffman for Congress. None of this means anything other than the silver spoon does not fall far from the tree, and I have way too much time on my hands.
He really does come from privileged rich, banker private school stock.
See, stereotypes and caricatures sometime work out after all.
