[marccost1]

Josh, you have it going on!

[advice7girl101]

I was there.... Never gonna forget it!

[loveing561]

GOO JOSH OGLE!!

[justdoitasshole]

Milfy mad skillz!!!

[Kitinetnies]

lol shes better than him

[Ellercorupt101]

Glad to see you got better things to do with your time than make sound descions. The worst Mayor in Spokane history. Remember being stranded in the snow? How many people have the SPDP killed today? Spokaen is a joke. #2 in ms in the USA. Spokane a Rendering city.

[MrFlyinhawaiin]

Yeah, seriously, saying she's the "worst mayor of our generation?" Name one bad thing she's done. seriously.

[GasmasqMusic2]

@MrFlyinhawaiin Lawl, I'm the one that rapped WITH her. She's the BEST mayor we've ever had.

[RAtheRuggedFanboy]

In the words of Immortal Technique, how hard is it, really, "To memorize a ghostwritten shit verse and spit it back"? Eh, mayor, you're so cool, you can sloppily spit monosyllabic flows someone else wrote for you.

Also, it's annoying as hell how Spokanese refer to themselves as "children of the sun". Unless you really are a Spokane Indian (which she isn't), then you're just acting like a fucking poser to use that phrase.

[Thelightingeffects]

I was there...

[Trujuggalo420]

I love our Mayor! Shes so tight! And she has done so much for our city!!!!

[jeremybray1]

Good message. Well done!

[littledevil000]

yeah our mayor raps

[slplmp]

she raps way better than the guy!! He fkn blows!

[MCXentric]

Thanks. No really. I'm glad you're obviously an aficionado.

One thing though. I wrote her lyrics too. AND taught her to spit them. Soo... What now?

[mahp415]

fuck ya

love for 509

born n raised

[piketyl000]

[Electrancemusic]

I have a lot of admiration for Mary Verner. I'm from Seattle, but come to Spokane often. I honestly do think it's gotten better in recent years.

[SikJitsuFan]

AWESOME!!! GOOD FOR HER!!!

[swimma17]

wooooh!

[mardymoo]

holy shit i shoulda gone to this Hah!

[godzilla3432]

our mayor is awesome.

i dont see any other mayors rapping.

[sexydad420]

I'm so glad we finally got a mayor who isn't afraid to show Spokane that life has it's up and downs and we know that Mary is down with Spokane.

[thekofinkishow]

I can't see our mayor doing that!

[gloverloversalldaway]

OMG THATS OUR MAYOR!!!!! OMG WOW.

i live in spokane.

[BassDillon18]

Hahahahaha Spokane rocks.

[DubbedVideoDubbed]

only in spokane....

[browneyedteenapril]

I don't usually listen to rap but darn this is good!

[aespy7]

Damn, looks like Obama need to step up his game! But nonetheless, this was cool.

[cocoamint4321]

Mary its sadie good job =)

[lhull80]

Great job Mary!! You are doing such a good job, for Spokane, I know you can't fill every pothole at once. LOL

And you have to love a hater - they keep you motivated!

[PestTheMenace]

Oh... and mary... you single??

[suitepoet]

Gasmasq and Mary---great job, ignore the critics! I don't care what anyone says, it's not easy doing what you both did together. I'm proud of you and Spokane, even with our problems. Thanks for bringing your voices to all of us--many, including myself, would never have heard this powerful piece if it weren't a joint effort. Thank you both!!! Gasmasq, went to MySpace--really enjoy your work--cool mix of genres and rap---keep it up. You give me hope.

[HarpmanHatter]

Thank You Mary for stepping up to the music culture. I will keep promoting the daytime music culture and appreciate the support from the city of Spokane. It is in the country as New Orleans and I hope that we may see the music culture boom like it does down there even in there hard times. Again thanks Mary for stepping up and showing the younger people you care. And don't worry about the negative comments you keep it up.

[tpeone]

Very cool Mary, thanks for keeping it "real" in Spokane.

[spokanelaw]

She is the best mayor for these times.

[MDABE80]

I've been on these same roads longer than you've been alive. he money was already allocated to road work by Jim West. Verner takes credit for two roads which were already on the schedule. Check with Eldon Brown in Road at the city. She's done nothing because she doesn't know what to do. Where is the decorum? She should figure out how to do a Mayor's job before she tries the entertainment business as "Miss Iron Pony" It's ridiculous.

[GasmasqMusic2]

Wow. Y'all are arguing about absolutely nothing just because Mary went to reach out to her community. She didn't even have a huge involvement in the project. I wrote her lyrics off things she said when I got to see her for an hour at a time because she's so busy trying to fix this city which has been destroyed, not only by West and Hession, but also by the rich families who own so much of this city that they have the ability to keep out any big business from coming in and bringing more tax money

[RAtheRuggedFanboy]

@MrFlyinhawaiin

Shit, dog, just name one GOOD thing she's done? Instead of fixing potholes or locking up gang members, she's...spitting ghostwritten shit to improve her political capital? Whats with that?

[MrFlyinhawaiin]

@RAtheRuggedFanboy Who the fuck are you to comment? I mean really, RA the Rugged, what a complete faggot. All that guy does is all you're trying to right now, stir up trouble. This woman is fixing spokane

[RAtheRuggedFanboy]

@MrFlyinhawaiin

First of all, R.A. is probably the illest ever. Cop Uncommon Valor, you'll see what I mean. Secondly, this video is just complete shit. Bites as hard as the rest of Spokane rap: Quiz, Unique, Knothead; just a bunch of fucking juggalos and wiggas. Even Certified Outfit is pretty lyrically sloppy. If you want real rap, then go fucking east-coast, not this poppy monosyllabic bullshit.

[MrFlyinhawaiin]

@RAtheRuggedFanboy If you want real rap, how about heading 300 miles West of here. Common Market and Blue Scholars are the best in the business, and rap about real stuff like their childhoods, politics, and third-world upbringing. Not about depressing shit like RA, that man just makes people angry

[RAtheRuggedFanboy]

@MrFlyinhawaiin

Macklemore, fake revolutionaries, and skinny Filipino cats claiming hood when they went to fucking UW? Where's the realness in that? You can't have 'hood' in a city that has about the highest percentage of faggots in the country. Fuck Seattle rap even moreso than Spokane rap! CunninLynguists, Tonedeff, R.A., Wu-Tang killa bees, now that's where it's at.

[MrFlyinhawaiin]

@RAtheRuggedFanboy Yeah, and next you're going to tell that 213, containing Snoop Dogg, Warren G and Nate Dog are no good, aren't you? I can't believe someone could be so ignorant, and anti-patriotic. I listened to some of the artists, if you can call them that, that you've talked about, and all of them have one thing in common: they all believe in fucking conspiracy theories

[RAtheRuggedFanboy]

@MrFlyinhawaiin Everything west coast/northwest coast is just biting. Like, even the 'alternative' shit, Abstract Rude, P.E.A.C.E., Del...it's all still monosyllabic garbage. No real thought involved. Incredibly unsophisticated.

[MrFlyinhawaiin]

@RAtheRuggedFanboy Yeah, I could see how a low-IQ ignorant moron such as yourself could fail to see the beauty in Del's work in 3030, but I guess he ain't making music for you, so who cares. He's just trying to speak to the world.

[RAtheRuggedFanboy]

@MrFlyinhawaiin 'Meet Cleofis Randolph the Patriarch'...yeah, real bright.

[MrFlyinhawaiin]

@RAtheRuggedFanboy It's ironic that you would say that, for if you had listened to the whole CD and had any intelligence at all, you would realize that he's being nonsensical on purpose, speaking to how modern day politicians don't have a fucking clue, similar to you apparently.

[RAtheRuggedFanboy]

@MrFlyinhawaiin Speaking of politicians who don't have a fucking clue: Mary Verneer. There, back on topic.

[KayShrub]

Is that Crystal Gayle?

[MrsRevolution]

that rulz yo!

[rawkmandale]

Listen to the words...she says many positive things, encouraging and uplifting.

[christina1385]

This was amazing in person!! She tore it up!! It was a little weird seeing her do this, but she was Awesome actually.. hahaha.. The other dude was a little crappy though..

[thundershane34]

Shit's Wack

[Beetham]

Werd.

[utwspfan]

Yo! Great rap Mary, cool message! That's my mayor...can't touch this!!!

[NewWaveDJ]

Nice. I have council tonight, this should make it interesting.

[lhouse4]

Ryan you should have been there, way better in person!

[romeomoon2]

There's something about Mary.

More than a great Mayor, she's a great person.

[rawkmandale]

Helped make for a great night....

[cranberrytroy]

gasmasq!

[themeetingnw]

Very cool. I'll admit that when the words "Rappin' Mayor" started flying around this morning, I was a little worried. This was truly cool.

[scottthompson1982]

She's gotta be the hottest mayor in the World.

[perseity]

Listen to her words and you'll know why she RULES. (jOe~)
