Hi, I'm Dave from boyinaband if you've watched my videos
for a while you might know this guy Andrew Huang.
We've made a bunch of videos together in the past and until recently we were friends.
So he's one of the most talented people I've ever met.
He can play all these instruments
He can sing, he can draw. Great, sure okay?
But then, he goes and releases this video:
FAST RAP - 300 words in 50 seconds
No! NO! No... You have too many things...
You can't just go and take one of your already
fast raps and then rap it faster!
This is not fair! You can play more instruments than me, you can sing better than me.
But I'll be DAMNED if I'm gonna let this
Maple Jockey rap faster than me... Racism... so today
I'm gonna rap 301 words in 50 seconds
and after that I'm gonna brag to Andrews face
I'm gonna brag to Andrew's face.
NOW!
There's a few things that we have to keep in mind while we do this.
I've heard some people say that the best rap is all about emotional, expression, and honesty.
[Eminem] I like to draw, like, things from my past.
Ya know what I mean, like... Emotional pain...
[Dave] or about interesting, challenging concepts.
[Kendrick] I knew from the jump that there was gonna be a challenge
You know, from my listeners ear, but if I'm challenging myself in the studio,
I want to challenge you as well.
[Dave] Or, it's about catchiness.
[Drake] The artists that give you a chance to breathe and digest their words and use
melody are like, sort of on top right now.
DAVE: Wordplay, swagger, energy... People say a lot of different things that make rap great.
But those people are wrong.
As we all know speed is the only thing that matters. I mean, Drake???
What's he got to back up his legitimacy? Arena tours?
I've been to arenas before!
...when he was playing...
I KNOW WHEN DEY HOLLINE BLING-
What does he you know he's named after a freakin' hearthstone card.
Kendrick? What's he got industry-wide respect. Yeah well
Yeah, so what what is he know he doesn't even have a hearthstone card named after him.
Eminem. What's he got a Grammy?
I've got a Grammy too
Granted she's got pretty severe dementia
It was probably a bit too real.
Firstly, we got to make sure we're not just judging this by words, otherwise these bars
Otherwise, these bars
...it's obvious that I am the embodiment here of masculine dominance but your standards are average
And these bars: I can rap so well here are some words. Can you tell yes?
Yo I am cool as snow would count for the same thing so I've also got to make sure I have more
Syllables than moosie boys so since he took one of his old raps and made it faster
I've taken one of my old raps and upgraded it so it has more words and syllables so I can beat him and to anyone
thinking like oh you removed some of the word play or oh, it's not as catchy anymore. It's not as good. Remember, you're wrong
It's objectively better because it's faster
I think we've established that.
So I guess the only thing left to do is, uh...
Beat him...
If we take a look at Andrews video he said he had [Andrew]: 300 words 50 seconds
395 syllables that's 7.9 syllables per second even just saying that out loud makes me think it's not possible, but apparently I just did it!
[Dave]: Arrogant. If we look at a syllable counter and paste in my lyrics, then BOOM 301 words
401 syllables read em and weep so now we've got proof. I'm definitely a better rapper than Andrew
Should I tell him?
This just does the camera on it
