The night before Fowler and I were scheduled to make the promotional video for our big announcement on June 4, one of the producers suggested that we do a rap video. Of course Fowler, being the optimist that he is, immediately brightened up like he just invented electricity and said “great idea! Garth, you write a rap for us and we’ll do it tomorrow.”
In a panic that I was going to be involved in viral video that rivaled the “fat kid with light saber” I immediately set out on Youtube to find at least an easy beat so one of us wouldn’t have to suffer the indecency of having to beat box. What I came up with is a classic by DJ Kris P (google “DJ Kris P. My” to get the idea- warning it is R rated). Then I set out laying down some rhymes. It’s not great, and thank heaven we didn’t end up rapping, but I thought you might like to see a sampling.
