Nesmith does not need any publicity..He obviously OK'd this piece of shit...Whoever this goofball is..It don't matter. Nesmith can buy & sell him and most others as he was just announced as a billionaire last year..So fuck it..

[SamJColey]

No - don't blame Mike. He had nothing to do with this "crap, chit". Just a "goofball" messing around with adobe audition on a wet sunday afternoon. Still, judging by these delightful comments, I'm pleased it's brought so much sunshine and happiness into peoples lives! Job done.

Leave it to this type to turn a good song into garbage.

[SamJColey]

I'm being dissed by an egg-curry-munching, Bobby V fan? I'm relieved you dissapprove Don. Keep taking the steroids.

[Thorr97]

This is insulting. Mike Nesmith did a whole lot better than this crap. Williams here just spits on that with his rapping of it.

Actually Frank Zappa was the pioneer behind Rap. Them Honkey's sure knew their Booty Music

[BBQFanNo1]

It's great to know Mike Nesmith Cruisin' has Big Fans.

@eddobanks Considering that Nesmith's song was released in 1979, before Hip-Hop/Rap, was even mainstream, I don't think he was trying to do a 'white rap'. If anything, the original song was heavily influenced by Frank Zappa's style of writing/singing/talking/produc­ing, as they were good friends.

Pharrell's version is just that---his version. So what if he improvised and used artistic license to create it. He's not the first to do that. At least he made the song relevant to a new generation!

GARBAGE AT ITS FINEST

[Sensaye25]

What? that beat is fresh.

[eddobanks]

Nesmith was out of his element; grabbing a black beat, doing a white rap, and basically tossing up a novelty act. I listened to Nesmith's song today and it doesn't hold up well. Nothing like some of the songs that were done by the Monkees which still appear timeless.

This guy Pharell is rapping right. White folks are always saying that their music is better than rap. Fine. But don't go diddling with rap and declare yourself its masters. That's not having an opinion. That's lying.

[reverendflash]

Nesmith never shoulda worn the cowboy hat. It's attracted a flock of lunkhead racist rednecks for fans.

[Barefootwolf]

Pharrell?! Seriously, this is the only rapper who recognized a good song to steal...er, I mean sample? Well...at least even Pharrell can't ruin it with his crap raps.

Fantastic mash-up... LOL Idk why no one else here seems to know what mash-ups are.
