Do I like it?

No, I don't.

The first couple times I saw videos like this I may have thought the makers were being clever/ironic/funny, now though, not so much. What do you think?

Example:

Pretty darn lame if I must say so myself. The sooner this whole Soulja Boy thing disappears, the better.

"The boys in the hood are always hard...come talkin' that trash we'll pull your card...." -NWA This has been done before....not very original.

Damn Kateri, you found the exception to the rule. That version was pretty amazing. That said, Andre3k is on a different level than any other MC right now. For someone considered so mainstream, his lyrics are sick.

more proof:

ok, I'll buy a beer (or energy drink/slurpee/water/whatever if you aren't legal or don't drink) for anyone who posts up a good acoustic cover of that song^^^^

I'm easily entertained, so I enjoy them.

Oh, and Matt Weddle's Hey Ya cover is something I've been watching at least twice a week for months now. It is incredible.

Nina Gordon's version of Straight Outta Compton owns the acoustic hip hop genre.

To each their own. But I don't really like this one so much.

Maybe I am getting it wrong but I hear her and think "Oh that is cute.. a cute voice singing rough lyrics to mellow fingerpicking". It sounds like THAT was the intended point...to be cute and ironic.
