Turbo Tax Rap - 1040EZ feat MC 9Lives

[TheModernHalo]

i love you mc 9lives and look at that kat thats just gangsta

[NYgbomb71]

This vid is NICE Omar. Mr. Van Winkle belongs in jail for not picking this vid :)

[EminemGuy47]

u coulda won if it wasnt 4 the bad quitity

[EminemGuy47]

dude plz make somore vids. I like this so much this is the first thing i do when i get home! plz make more

[LockedPhobia]

reminds of something like powerpuff girls

[Ramonerdna]

wow great vid, funny too lol wen tha cat siad "call me kitty one more time and im walking"

[kahoten]

i don't even think that my comment can do justice but I'm gonna try. How the f*** you didn't win is beyond me. Parappa the Rapper themed video. Story, concept.., I listen to rap hardcore and can tell you what's good and what's great. That was f***ing talent all the way. Instant fan and supporter.

[S14DGENER8]

the winner sucks. this is better

[CCAProduction100]

lol watch my video CCA Production Ep. #1

[jdilgy]

"the most original video" won?? hardly bro...you had those fools beat. this is sick.

[darkcougarkat]

i will give you points for doing a video on taxes.. rap probably was the best way to get the message across... but why?

[LucidSurreal]

it was a contest. the tax rap.

[bigdezy419]

This is nice video love the Parappa Theme (well thats what it reminds me of)

[LucidSurreal]

thanks everyone!

by the way technoskull, parappa was a big inspiration. the flat look happened to be the best way to use the software I was using, but parappa was the inspiration for all the beat synchronized movements, like the tree and the camera angles and such.

I'm a little late for my big announcement for those who may have been waiting, but circumstances have forced me to change plans. I will give some more details in the next week or so along with an animated short.

[TrophyIsSick]

this is the best video i've seen...and i watched a bunch of them

[hXcMaster]

Who did win the tax rap?

[technoskull]

does this remind anyone else of parappa the rapper?

anyways nice vid dude!

[Ashogo]

What the Hell?? I saw the top three and this one-the others were pretty good but this one blows the other outta the water! Damn. Well, hey, if I was in charge I would've given you guys the 10 million bucks.

[Costi]

better than the others

[jkzemery]

You should had won!!!!!!!

[godartist]

Yea u definitely shoulda won

[LucidSurreal]

Thanks again everyone. Btw, I will unveil some of those "big plans" before the end of June. So stay tuned and subscribe if you're interested. Much love to all.

[blackchides]

catchy flow.. how you didn't win is one of life's big mystery..

[emilyandcalvin]

yeah i know the contest is over...but no fuckin wonder u didnt win...vanilla ice was involved in the shit...yeah right...leave vanilla ice to be the judge

[CoyoteMan5000]

Yeah, this was definitely better than the others.

[kahoten]

Vanilla Ice was ultra hating to not have made this the winner. That's all I have to say.

[matt3118]

Wow, I like this SOO much more than the other 3 vids that won. Well, at least you got on the score board so everyone can see this.  Awesome job. *favorited*

[GrayMattersNW]

Word son. This video is much better than all the winners'. Actually talented on the mic. Guess that gets overlooked when Vanilla Ice is involved.

[gorillaman2000]

I love it but u probably lost cuz u induced that cats were smarter than humans by saying "it's so easy even a human could do it."

(which i'm not saying isn't true. I love cats! Mc9lives was AWESOME!)

[eidelburg]

hella clean

[blackchides]

damn! you shoulda won it! miles ahead of the other videos..

[Juuuuuul]

Wow great video, too bad you didn't win anything

[ExtraMega]

Gotta agree with others...This submission was siiiick! I had you and the "Keep Your Refund FATTER" submissions fighting for the top spot. How neither one placed in the top three will forever remain a mystery. Oh wait Vanilla Ice was picking the winner...

[133tn00b]

This is Awesome. Too bad you didn't win any money.

[GtotheAtotheBtotheE]

Man, great jod on the video. I really want to say you were robbed but then i'd sound like a hater. Your video's lyrics were off the hook and the videos creativity could not be matched by any of the winning videos. GJ man GJ.

Gabe

[LucidSurreal]

Thanks everyone! All your feedback has helped speed my recovery from the supreme disappointment. :) Seriously, it means alot. So anyway, I'm planning some big stuff, if you liked the vid for the music or the animation, subscribe to my channel. I'm planning some big stuff in the near future. Thanks again for the love everyone, especially the fellow contestants!!!

[yhcyhc]

this should be the no.1...i don't get it...good job

[marik100000000000000]

mc9lives..the kitty waz the best part man!

[tubphooj]

awesome video man. congrates.

[aSPAZfilm]

GAH! you shoulda won the contest!! My favorite!!

[AtomF4i]

The outcome did surprise me. I thought you got it locked for sure. My picks for top 3 were yours, turbo tax master, which did finish 2nd, and Remy's. At the end of it, corporate criteria beats out creativity.

[xAniTy]

Amazing. Simply amazing. I can not believe this didn't win. Who chose the winners? because there's something seriously wrong with that person. I hope you don't get discouraged and stop making these wonderful animations. Here's to more of your great work. Cheers!

PS. I love the cat.

[tekn9ne187]

i can not believe how shitty the videos that won are.. this is so much better than both 1st and 2nd. grand winner was pretty gay too.. this shouldve been picked over them

[Y2KFreeYaa]

Reason why it didn't make in in the top 3: Doesn't actually mention TurboTax as obviously as the ones that got a higher position did. It's important to actually say "TurboTax" and represent what it does in the rap a little more than what this did (I mean, it totally did, but it wasn't as blatant as the other ones that won were).

[133tn00b]

Yes it does mention TurboTax, the kitty has a turbotax charm & beenie on and he also says TurboTax at 1:26 & 1:46 retard. Watch before you open your stupid mouth.

[dvigour]

It kills me you didn't win.

[trextor]

You were robbed. Your video was the most creative one out of the finalists. I can't believe they overlooked so many brilliant videos.

[TheAcHuman]

My thoughts exactly. This didn't even win 1st or 2nd? I'm not even going to blame this on Ice. I doubt he even played any kind of role in picking the winner. This contest was a sham. I hope no one thinks I'm being a sore loser. I'm speaking for the great and creative videos that were overlooked. Keep being creative, LucidSurreal.

[TheAcHuman]

Congratulations on the top 13 spot. If you don't win then there was something seriously wrong with this contest  Good luck from a fellow rapper/animator.

-AcHuman

[LucidSurreal]

thanks guys. yeah. I have some pretty big plans for the future. An album, an animated series. I was feeling pretty bitter for a little while there, but I'm back on track now. Stay tuned if you liked this video, subscribe, and give me a little time. I gotta save some money so I can buy a few things I need, and take some time off work. Then I can get started. Thanks again guys!

[gogocroquette]

For what it's worth... I think you're really talented and you should keep at it.

[turbotaxer]

are you kidding. you didnt even get second or third? are u sure they havnt announced it yet. seriously what the fuck

[turbotaxer]

your gonna get first place, i hope you are a good person and truly deserve the money. don't spend it on a tv or anything, do something good with it.

[LucidSurreal]

thanks guys. I hope I win, too :)

[lianneknox]

I thought this was great. I think it takes more effort to create a cartoon to go with the rap! Way to go! You got my vote and I told all my friends to watch and vote for you too! Good Luck!

[dvigour]

An animation of this quality was not something I would have expected. Your rapping and the visuals are top notch, and I hope you win, because clearly you put way more effort into this than most if not everyone else put into their own videos.

It's very cool how you have the very long 'uncut' shots; it's a very awesome style that inspires me.

Good luck.

[LucidSurreal]

thanks everyone who voted and rated and commented and watched. This last week until winners are announced is going to be a long one.

[imnotyoursavior]

wow, alot of haters leaving comments. probably jealous. it's alright, Omar will mop the floor with 'em with nothing but talent. this video rocks.

[XtraTrstrL]

LMAO @ tobence1k. Damn, that was harsh tobence... but I agree.

[Jannofram]

You Agree?!

[00bean00]

Very original, nice job!  Top 15, definitely.

[trextor]

Well done. Turbo Tax should have awards in different categories. This video is so unique and definitely deserves some sort of award.

[masterotto]

the animation keeps you in tact with the rap idiot. you need to learn english

[MdogLA4eva]

interesting and very cool visuals, however, the animation is not enough to keep you interested in the rap long enough as it drags on.

[masterotto]

the animation keeps you in tact with the rap .. u just need to learn english

[tobence1k]

you have no ability to recognize talent and will fail at everything you ever try in life

[cdobelle]

Extremely unique! I see much much talent, and his voice over a mic is impeccable.

[chillinana]

Best rapper I've heard in a very long time

[hemusthavegonefishin]

this video is sick! Vote for it!

[solovox]

Finally...some real competition! I'm number 340...check it out. Good work, dude.

[abhiviru1]

a very good one...i like it...

[SalaciousScribe]

Awesome video. Good luck from a fellow contestant.

[desttsed]

Rock.

[RebootYourComputer]

AWESOME ..you got my vote

[glazerade]

The song is great. You're a great animator. What program do you use? Flash? Check out my video, "A CPA In A CPU" #259.

[LucidSurreal]

Thanks. I used Anime Studio. It's alot like Flash, but really glitchy, and hard to use, but cheaper, and with some really great and unique features.

[LucidSurreal]

Thanks for all the props, people! It makes all the red bull powered sleepless nights worthwhile!

[cinnomed]

you DeSeRVe to win. i love tha animation, tha rap, tha KiTTY[!!] ;0] [maybe i'm a little biased bcuz i LoVe cats..] lolz <br>

job well done dude <br>

<3

[ltfourman]

Very good work. Good luck man, check out #272.

[quietfart]

man, i made my run for the money too, but your animation ROCKS. WOW.

[jtime5]

A rap not a cartoon bro...

[electricdisk]

freaking rocks. The animation is awesome.

[mymarblesaregone]

This worth my vote! Great Job!

[hockeyplayer667]

Awsome Dude! This is the winner!!

[imnotyoursavior]

this shizzle is the best i've seen since vanilla ice! :P

just kidding, this video and music is top notch.

[cerebuslovesscotch]

Great song! Awesome vid and I LUV MC 9 Lives

[cerebuslovesscotch]

Very nice. The vid really flows well with the music. Rapping's great and MC 9Lives is an awesome icon.

[gmiller10304]

pretty damn dope dude!

[TheAcHuman]

Looks like I'll have to settle for 2nd place. Well done. Did you also do the animation?

[LucidSurreal]

thanks, yes, animation, too. :)

[JakespeareStudios]

Whew! Well done. Part of me is pissed but I can appreciate how good it is. Nice.

[LucidSurreal]

thanks everyone! If you think my video should win, link as many people back here and tell them to vote mar31st!

[gogocroquette]

got my vote! amazing.

[LucidSurreal]

"got my vote! amazing." -gogocroquette

thanks gogo, I just looked through some of your favorites. It's an honor being counted among that collection.

[NinjaTrey]

I watched many turbo tax videos, I still like yours the most. The animation is great, but I am more impressed by your sound quality. Very nice mix. A lot of your competitors sound distorted and half ass. I applaud their efforts nonetheless.

[snapsac]

Nice!

[gurdjieff1000]

WOW and WOW again! This video is the best.

[LucidSurreal]

thanks again everyone!

[GtotheAtotheBtotheE]

dude, this is amazing.. truly. It's so good. Best of luck man.

[AtomF4i]

Don't usually comment on the videos since i'm also in the contest, but I certainly recognize and appreciate a good production. Good job and best of luck.

[kleomen]

Holy cow, awesome, dude! You're absolutely going to win, hands down, no luck needed. This is an amazing creative achievement. On your PC did you say?!

[danbono2]

Awesome - You have huge talent all around..

[TheSurgeryRoom]

thanks for the props. I think you got us beat. great flow and animation.

[drellos]

Dude, this is nasty! I have to find something to nit on so I wish the name TurboTax were used more..

But for real, I heard this last night and pulled my Gucci bucket hat over my face screaming wooo!!!

[funkrusher]

The best without question! Oh wait, actually one question: Who's really behind this video? Professional production from the visuals to the music. Reveal yourselves!!!

[LucidSurreal]

thanks, funkrusher. It was just me and my PC.

[LIPSTICKBATTLEMONKEY]

Awesome! Rap is individual and catchy. Want to hear it over and over and over! :) Animation is cool too. Coolest cat!

[NinjaTrey]

Excellent work! You got mad skillz! Peace, and good luck!

[hllucn8]

Best in the contest. Good luck, dude!

[LucidSurreal]

Thanks everyone. very much

and good luck to you, too, Noel.

[chrisham4200]

That's awesome!

[noel210]

Excellent work. A safe bet for top 13.

Good Luck from a fellow contestant.

[nsacco82]

You're Amazing.

[sirgloriouslords]

[tobence1k]

Wow... Probably the most amazing video I've ever seen - truly a creative masterpiece. You are going places, big time.

[Ready2Pop]

This video displays effort and personality, unlike other thown together, mindless clips I've viewed. Excellent!!

[breathmint0]

damn dude... nice

[nkarapan1979]

Damn! This is such an awesome video, the best of the set by far! Great job...it's awesome! :-)

[Jannofram]

What an awesome video and song! Great job!!

[carcm700]

Best RAP Video I've seen thus far in the TAXRAP contest, bye far!

[turbotaxer]

nice video, but no point in makin several accounts and commenting on your own video

[ExtraMega]

Wow, bitter much! Look at the people who are commenting on this video. Many of them are fellow competitors who appreciate the quality and originality of this submission.

[PaPookie]

This is definitely the illest video in the contest! It's so outstanding it left me speechless.  Great work!

[XtraTrstrL]

Damn, this was nice!

Top quality stuff. Animation was cool, reminds me of Parappa the Rapper. The rhyming was onpoint too.
