Ryan Adams's Rap Lyrics! Video?
In case you missed this in the comments, a wonderful Stereogum reader heeded our call for the lyrics to Ryan Adams's brilliant new rap (nice work El Payo!). We made up the tune's title "Look Who Got A Website." Pretty lame, we know. We're taking suggestions for a new moniker, Perez-style. Holla in the comments if inspiration strikes. Or better yet -- is anyone feeling ambitious enough to MAKE A VIDEO (even just a slideshow) on YouTube? That would be g-g-g-g-genius. Kevin Bacon, motherfuckers!

CHORUS: Mix masters please report to the dance floor
Anna Serris you out of this world
like ancient Sumerians
apparently we came from ancient Sumerians
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
You a g-g-g-g-genius
CHORUS: Welcome to RyanAdams.com motherfucker

CHORUS: Mix masters please report to the dance floor
Well up these streets are digital roads
Goin into your mind like if you think it was your nose
and your nose was sucking coke and drinksin E
Trippin' too hard and gotta be
What was a dezzin Kevin Bacon
Makin Waterworld 3

Basically he's alternative country but crappy."

holy shit this is fuckin' hilarious. "Kevin Bacon what the fuck?!" I'm really confused why he shouts out 2003 tho. Maybe this is a leftover from the, um, Rock N Roll sessions? I dunno, it made me laugh.

If Ryan Adams weren't a musician, it would be funny. But this is the same Ryan Adams who makes his living off charlatan musical imitations. If yoou find this funny you must have herniated when RocknRoll came out. You all are like the Bush apoligists; RA's own little FOX network. Anything he does, no matter how egregious, lame, or ridiculous, you find a way to spin out a defense. I wish HIS term ended in '08.

COPIED AND PASTED FROM PITCHFORK...
Hey, Ryan Adams: STFU
You guys, the internet is so terrible. Today comes word that Ryan Adams has relaunched his website with a comical new Battlestar Galactica-style interface, soundtracked entirely by the tousled-haired singer/songwriter's own horrific beats and rhymes. Yes, he is rapping. In what is without question one of thee worst aural assaults of the year, Adams subjects visitors to no less than four minutes of a novelty hip-hop track that, at its best, consists of him shouting "NEW YORK CITY!", and at worst, has him putting on his best impression of a rappin' witch. There's also a fascinating song about a drunk Santa. It's a classic Adams wtf moment, a blatent publicity stunt we imagine he feels is unassailable since it's pretty much harmless and is just him goofing off and being his usual obnoxious self. You know what? No. This is basically criminal negligence. Who knows a lawyer?

Suggested title:
To Be Sumerian (Is to Be Balsa, Is to Be Witchy) or Ryan Adam's Great Jones Street Rappin' Blues #33
Score = 0
With enormous due respect to Bob Mould, Ryan's ditty is the worst "rap" song since Bob's "Megamanic". But Ryan's obviously having fun with it, so we're all in on the joke.

I have to say, I really dislike Ryan Adams' music and his persona and just about everything that goes along with it.
But this rap, which Scott has brilliantly titled, is one of the funniest, most amazing things I have heard from a non-comedian.
"Kevin Costner Dot Com What the fuck!"
Hysterical.
And the yelling of 2003 in the middle of 2006 is awesome. I always thought that hip-hop's yelling of time/date instantly dates their music. It's like when you listen to Public Enemy and Flava is shouting "1991" and you're like...oh, right, it's old.
With the Battlestar Gallactica video, I can't stop watching this thing and cracking up over and over again. More Rap from R.A.!

I think this should be the new Battlestar Galactica theme music.

Anyone out there well-connected enough to find out what Anna Faris thinks of this? Ah, the famous. They have access to high-tech flirting facilitators the common man can only dream of.

Ya know whats sweet. A lot of you diss ryan adams in your comments, which is funny, because while you're busy doing nothing with your life, hes well famous and rich, but that aside, no matter what you say, Ryan Adams dosn't give a flying fuck, and he'll do more ridiculous shit, and you'll critique him more, and he...wait for it.... still won't give a flying fuck because he's Ryan Adams.
