In fact, if you think "any sh*thead can do it" then try it yourself, and you will be sorely disappointed.

Pfft:

Half a league, half a league,
Half a league onward,
All in the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
`Forward, the Light Brigade!
Charge for the guns!' he said:
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.

It'd take 2 minutes to turn that into a rap song. Sure, it's missing the 4-letter-words, but I guess Tennyson just wasn't as talented.

Your snide remarks about the ease which one could write a good song or a rap verse is a slap in the face to all who endevour to perfect their musical craft.

It ain't easy chief.

I didn't say that Tennyson couldn't write a good rap song. After all, wasn't he a poet -- duh --? I said that it would be difficult for "any sh*thead" to do it. How about something original? What's next? Are you going to plagarize Shakespeare and call it "2 minute" rap??
