Clones and Cliches

[drearygreyeyes]

This is magnificent.

[OldGrumpyGuy]

@drearygreyeyes Thanks!

[FlyingEvolutionist59]

You, sir, are my idol. When I grow up I hope to be exactly like you..Although I may have to forgo the hat :)

[OldGrumpyGuy]

@FlyingEvolutionist59 Wow. I'm inordinately flattered, particularly coming from someone as highly intelligent as you reveal yourself to be on your videos. Anyway, thanks. And who knows, you might look quite dashing in the hat

[CheekyVimto08]

that was legendary

[AlfaLight]

Very well said and also very true! Bravo!!!

[SafiraK]

I love it! It's completely true :)

By the way, I love your accent. Sorry, I know - you haven't got an accent, I have :).

[OldGrumpyGuy]

That's right lol

[JMB129]

Very corny but I'm sure that was on purpose, also very true.

[BoggiDTerminator]

Your singing is utterly terrible but I still enjoyed this satire of yours.

[theojhawk]

Bravo!!

[ArsenicAlchemist]

This is awesome. I wish you'd do more of these. I laughed the whole way through. I do believe you are a genius, the ideas you come up with. Amazing.

[OldGrumpyGuy]

Thanks very much. You might enjoy my comedy musical, Success. (See my website).

[ArsenicAlchemist]

You know I'll enjoy it. It seems as though everything you upload is completely thought through and with a definite purpose. I admire that.

[OldGrumpyGuy]

Thanks!

[BrendanKennedy96]

What is a Cliches? I know what a clone is.

[OldGrumpyGuy]

a cliche is something that is overused

[BrendanKennedy96]

So for example: my nintendo wii, that's used a lot, soon turned out to be "overused"

[Anarchemitis]

Avoid clichés like the plague.

[farnium]

Oh you are delightfully mad......

[OldGrumpyGuy]

...or do you mean madly delightful?

[farnium]

.....They are interchangeable, Thoses who are not either of the above are madly dull.

[Eagles2777]

Well done. I agree with the sentiments in this video and hope it gets a few people to rethink themselves.

[Gluberbloob]

its funny because the more i watch this the more i actually like it! hahahahaha im hooked!

[OldGrumpyGuy]

great. Thanks

[Gluberbloob]

i like the stalin, hitler...and is that mao? haha silly commies

[LazlosPlane]

I'm sorry... aren't um.. you a... uh... cliche of the ... um... upper middle class pseudo intellectual elite wannabee?

[OldGrumpyGuy]

No, YOU are a dreary cliche of the smartass class

[ali0the0nazi]

wow !! that the best music I've ever heard i am leaving Mozart and Beethoven and heading to the old grumpy raper. lol

one Question why does Einstein next to Che and Osama bin laden ? i mean what the conection ?

[OldGrumpyGuy]

There's no real connection except for the facial hair and I thought they would look funny in baseball caps

[ali0the0nazi]

well if you thought about it they all have middle eastern descent , and the facial hair is our greatest problem

[NeoDarkKnight]

This video seems to be attracting people who focus only on rap as being a cliche. Am I the only one who's noticing that?

[damM3]

Are we not all just repeating what we've seen or heard? So in fact your characteristics come from some where just like these "clones". I can say I enjoy classical and I also enjoy techno, even at times rap, it's easy to say that it is all cliche when you have no feelings drawn from that art form. But that doesn't mean others do not. Art in my eyes, is simply that beautiful that it does not discriminate. I do however understand that things that are played on the radio are a bit cliche.

[OldGrumpyGuy]

What I'm knocking is when musical preferences are converted into rigid, artificial lifestyles lifestyles

[StrokeIsJoke]

Very true indeed, and good effort,

but its sad how people this days * mtv generation, dont really hv much choice but been one dimensional, i mean all they see everywhere encourage them to consume, its sadly wot this capitalist society is all about,..

consume or die ...

8(

[peggysuellen33]

great song, I agree with everything it says

[EBJjengaXD]

in many ways your right and i respect that. like the song too LOL. good job

[OldGrumpyGuy]

Thanks EBJ

[Maakasukage]

Sorry not trying to spam but..... I see alot of clones at my school lol. Pants that hang down so low. That can see their boxes. Gangster looking people. etc etc. People that try to rap.

Thats why I be my self. I don't want to be anyone else :p

[OldGrumpyGuy]

Your comments are very welcome Maakasukage

[Maakasukage]

Definally Creative!

[Maakasukage]

Awesome. I hate Rap!. Also Hip hop. But not as much.

[NeoDarkKnight]

Uumm...Maakasukage, the video was mocking ALL cliches, not just rap.

[Maakasukage]

Well I know that! Its has alot of truth and is a very brilliant video. I just don't like rap!, so I singled that out. The biggest CLICHE I see in my school for some reason. Is what I desribed. So SORRRRY XD. But that a big cliche know and days......Yo, lol. Its also weird since my town seems more country than fricking street. I love watching this video lol.I know some people show their selves by certain things,but it can also seem cliches damM3 I see what you mean.and StrokeIsJoke same to you.

[IndividuallyRapped22]

So very ORIGINAL! This is fantastic and you're multi-talented!!!

[OldGrumpyGuy]

thank you

[AmericaGreatAmerica]

You are so creative. Very good!

[mortson978]

Hold on just one second! You grouped Einstein in with some pretty crude characters.

In order:

Joseph Stalin

Adolph Hitler

Mao Zedong

Osama Bin Laden

Ernesto Guavera

and ALBERT EINSTEIN???

Is there something about relativity which offends you?

[OldGrumpyGuy]

there was no logic in it. I just thought Einstein looked funny in a baseball cap. I'm deeply shallow

[mortson978]

Oh, at any rate, this is in fact the best rap i have ever heard.

[OldGrumpyGuy]

Wow, thanks!

[gspaulsson]

And being an old curmudgeon isn't a cliche?

[OldGrumpyGuy]

Is that how you feel? That you're a 62 year old cliche? Fight it!

[Palinmaniac]

What gets me about RAP is how much they USE other people's music.

I guess since RAP is mostly just talking jive, and RAPPERS don't actually write music, they have to rip off other performers songs to use as their background music.

When Snoop Dog, 50 Cents, etc get old who the hell is gonna remember ONE of their stupid rap songs.

[OldGrumpyGuy]

Can you imagine a couple in 20 or 30 years sitting on their porch reminiscing to a rap song?

[amadeus9man]

I'm in my teens and I've always laughed at that thought myself! My motto about rap is this: Rappers have V.D.*

*Verbal Diarrhea

I listen to classical myself, and the above comment does not make me an elitist.

[OldGrumpyGuy]

There's nothing wrong with a little elistism. See my vids on prejudice.

[jarvis1211]

Good points, its sad not enough people think for themselves...

[Palinmaniac]

I HATE RAP music.

It does such an injustice to Black people.

Just my two cents.

Clique.

[PeterHaroldErikson]

Great points!

[NameNotaNumber]

Fo shizzle, my nizzle.

[Margi90]

key... ^^

[mariliadeverdade]

Keep your day job Rapper Man ;-)

Still, the message is good...

You should have included the Obamabots

talk about "herd mentality" shiish!

[OldGrumpyGuy]

Actually, a New York rapper liked it so much he asked to use it as part of a more rap-style rap

[mariliadeverdade]

Your lyrics are great, it is just the delivery that needs some work ;-)

I actually like some rap and hip-hop groups, growing up in the 80s I witnessed it all come into being on Mtv. Try listening to NWA and Eminem's the eminem show is surprisingly good stuff.

[Vader12Tater12]

Agreed, the delivery was a little off. Rap is only good if it's true, like this rap, and Dr. Dre, Ice Cube, and the REAL rappers of the world.

[LethalKillingMachine]

If it was up to me, all rappers would be dragged into the streets and shot down like dogs.

[Thebboss]

Whoa man. Where's that hate coming from?

[Dertygian]

OH this is epically funny! Remember, you are unique, just like everyone else!! Rebellion in a conformist sort of way.

[anna91488]

I agree with the message this video expresses!

[yukkaymukka]

bring on the changes!

[undapreshur]

very true, nice vid and five stars!

[CANOFSPAM9]

5* because you didn't take a rip at metal, which I half expected you to do about half way in.

[theartofmusic37]

rafael94norge is showing just the kind of attitude that pollutes this society and the kind of culture this video is aimed at. He not only needs a new identity, he needs a sense of humor too. This vid is very funny

[OldGrumpyGuy]

very intelligent and beautifully expressed!

[yackoffsmear]

is your comment so harsh because deep down you know what he says is true. 2pac portrayed himself to be a real tough guy for people like you. He was in drama classes in high school back east. eminem & (lil wayne) even though his name was never mentioned got it corporate doggy style and went on a marketing campaign the vatican would be jealous of. also Ems voice is to squeaky and annoying even though he is actually talented. if lil wayne talks like that off camera no one would want to kick with em

[Jerusalaim]

I don't think this video is going to make much of a difference, nice try though.

[danshay00]

lol...lol

[giddegiddes]

very funny
