The Canterbury Tales Rap (General Prologue)- In Middle English

[tomoroxs1012]

What track did you use/ is there any way you can post it???

[MykeTaylor11]

@tomoroxs1012 That's a good idea, maybe I can post the track I made for this song so people can make their own rap songs to it.. And post them as a response to this video? I'll get to work on it.

[MykeTaylor11]

@tomoroxs1012 added a link to the track!

If you like this, check out my music video of the Prologue. If you search for The Canterbury Tales - General Prologue - "Whan that Aprille" it should come up.

also how can you do auto tune??

[lracelleinad11]

Hey i have to do this project and its due in like two weeks. Is there any way you guys could help me make a video similar to this? im nt good at making videos and shit at all....

[MykeTaylor11]

@lracelleinad11 Do you have any audio or video software?

[lracelleinad11]

@MykeTaylor11 Uhm...well we dont even have a computer at home anymore..it crashed a few weeks ago. Al I have it the computers at school and Im not sure what I would need or anything..

[MykeTaylor11]

@lracelleinad11 I don't think I can be of much help. If I were you, I'd just memorize this video, and sing it live in class if that's possible.

[lracelleinad11]

@MykeTaylor11 Thank you for the advice. I am a slacker, so I didnt do it lol but I tried :)

[singwell56]

Brilliant, man. I hope you got a great grade for this. I just love chaucer.. shows how timeless his verse form is that it ca nbe used so easily for a 21st C musical form.

[mystersamuel]

Me thynketh I love it :)

[mystersamuel]

I've got addicted to it. Very sweet!

[AK47EVIN]

I was just saying to myself today that if it were mixed in o a beat or somethig that I could probably memorize it. Thanks. This helped. Now I won't fail the class!

[MykeTaylor11]

@AK47EVIN Glad it helped!

[MykeTaylor11]

@JonnoGradian I'll consider it, but I can tell you it's not likely..

[TheNand311]

BIG help, thank you!!

[MykeTaylor11]

[krob1712]

haha thanks my teacher played this over and over again in class and it was actually something cool that could take from english

[tayl4138]

@krob1712 Awesome! Tell your teacher I said thanks! Glad you liked it!

[Aresftfun]

Not, you John. A John at my school. 

[MykeTaylor11]

@izaya419 You're welcome! I'm glad you liked it!

[MykeTaylor11]

@TheMrmadproduction Not by using language like that! :D

[MsJaybird17]

I absolutely love this!! Thanks!

[OthelloAwesomeFace]

Thanks so much for posting this, man! It's excellent!

[petelucas51]

Awesome. Shows the beauty of English as it was 600 plus years ago. So well done .

[MykeTaylor11]

@petelucas51 Thanks a lot! It really is beautiful isn't it? It's funny, around this time I see a spike of hits probably from teachers looking for a fun way to teach The Canterbury Tales, and how rhythmic it is.. Now I'm teaching senior English and we're going over the Canterbury Tales.. I haven't showed them this video yet, and I don't know if I will..

[DriveByProductions1]

@MykeTaylor11 YOU NEED TO SHOW YOUR CLASS THIS! If that happened my senior year, you'd be the coolest teacher ever.

[MykeTaylor11]

@DriveByProductions1 I ended up showing them, I think they liked it :D

[marthwmaster]

So much beautifulness! 

[MykeTaylor11]
