My Definition of a Boombastic Blog Entry: The Dream Warriors Win

OK, I really don't know what down this week, but people really didn't seem to be feeling the battle. Maybe it wasn't my best writing, maybe I didn't plug this week's battle enough, or maybe people just weren't feeling the CanRap concept. I know Sqwd wasn't.

Anyway, we still managed to get some sort of a result, so that's OK.
Dream Warriors took it 2 - 1.

And hey, that's all good, the people have spoken. The only problem is that it makes it a little tough for me to post a victory video.
Everything after their first album, And Now, The Legacy Begins, was total crap. The original video for "My Definition of a Boombastic Jazz Style" is impossible to find, to the point where I think I may have hallucinated it, and the second video for that song is pretty pretentious and wretched.

The only thing left for me to do is post the video for "Ludi," the third single off the Legacy album. To be honest, it's my least favourite of the three singles off that album, in part because I thought the idea of a rap song about a board game was pretty weak. I still maintain that position, but listening to the song again, I'm blown away by how catchy it is. As a rap song, it's sort of weak, but re-contextualized as a pop-reggae song, it's damn near perfect.

Fuck! Yet again I have missed the deadline for this vote. Dream Warriors were at a disadvantage, and the the fact that Maestro is out debasing his credibility every day, I would still vote for Maestro, because the song is bananas.

In other news, have you heard the bastard offspring of two former MVV winners yet?

Dude, leave Maestro alone.
Fuck my life, Metropia was one of the best Canadian made shows of all time. I realize that's like being the valedictorian of Bendale, but still, it's something.
