Ryan Adams Raps

Now streaming at Ryan Adams's site and preserved here for posterity:

Ryan Adams - "Look Who Got A Website" (MP3)

Rappin' Ryan spits ample shoutouts to Staten Island and the Internet. Then it gets REALLY weird. "Kevin Costner Dot Com WHAT THE FUCK! 2003. Updated by witches!" What the fuck indeed.

We're speechless. Someone please transcribe the whole thing? PLEASE?

Having sucked the 70's dry, it's obviously 12:01 1/1/80 at RyanAdams.com and he's hammered.

Wow, he finally got wasted enough to make Rock N Roll seem relatively awesome. This guy needs an edit button more than he needs rehab.

I mean, if you can listen to this and not laugh, you must be brain dead. I managed to hear "1 1/2 stars" and "his albums are long and sappy, basically alternative country but crappy". So, I'm guessing this mad rhyme is pointed at all the reviewers and people who won't cut Ryan a break and talk about how washed out he is. I'm a fan of Ryan's, even the new stuff, and I think this is awesome of him. WHAT A G!

P.S. If you click on the dash of the starship, it takes you to hear another song.

they came down and gave the world a bunch of technology
because they wanted to clone themselves and that was
and maybe be on the Earth
and get some some stuff that they needed
for their planet
but then they had to split
so they went to another planet
we stayed here
and now we just yell at each other
and have milkshakes
Hi Anna

CHORUS: Welcome to RyanAdams.com motherfucker

Awww shit Anna Serris

CHORUS: Mix masters please report to the dance floor

and they're screaming at animals and people
and they're going crazy

Basically he's alternative country but crappy."

ha ha.. hilarious! thanks for the link!

what is with the constant ryan adams bashing? i just don't get it. pitchfork says he 'subjects' the listener to this crap? no. you click the link, and listen if you choose. 'subjection' is what happens when people do things to you against your will.

don't people laugh any more? brutal...

Since no one else has mentioned it or saved it for posterity, upon first clicking teleport, you actually get another "rap" song, ostensibly titled "Drunk Santa" that is also pretty funny. Please someone grab that one and up it here as well.

Ryan rules. I never thought he didn't, but honestly, I don't get why people constantly say shit about him. While yeah, it's a little lame that he really cares so much about everyone else's opinions, he's talented and this only reaffirms my confidence in his bonafide mad skillz.

Wow, looks like Ryan Adams bashing is out, Pitchfork bashing is in.

Seriously though, if this was some joke one of your friends did and put it on their myspace, would you find it funny or ridiculously lame?

Gotta side with Pitchfork on this one. Ryan Adams seems to have a need to be listened to at all times, regardless of whether he's got something to say or he's just being a fool. Next time you're at a party and you want to kill it, try taking a page from the "witch rap" book.

Ryan adams is a shit to the blogsphere for not telling his dogs (lost highway) to back off a criminal prosecution against bloggers.

we should NEVER buy his stuff. he's got nerve writing about the web, it's like he's laughing at all bloggers.

okay, this is a stupid comment but could someone please e-mail me and explain whether or not Ryan Adams is really a heroine addict? I've heard mixed reviews.Sure, he's an alcoholic but to say he's on heroine seems a bit much. It could explain his brilliance though. Please enlighten me!! steed461@hotmail.com

Hi Bridge,
I hope it's none of our business whether Ryan is a heroine addict. I pretty much want to marry him though.
