Yeesh. Most of the time, I think covers are fun and interesting.
But NOT THIS TIME. This makes the original song sound STYOOPID. Anything that forces "a kewl sound" sucks rocks.

Please, Bill, never play this tripe again.

What have they done to this song?

The original almost shines through, but not enough to get more than a 2.

Wow I think that's the most '1' ratings I've seen for a song here so far.

A 2 from me.

Yeah, that's something about this genre that always irritates me to no end. If you have to SAY how cool you are in your songs, you obviously aren't.

Also, while I'm ranting, I feel if you're going to cover something, you should ADD to it in some way. I don't see how synth drums and keyboard are doing anything innovative here, and his hip hop stylings don't impress me. I agree with whoever said that if we're going to cross over into hip hop, we should play something more interesting and/or original.

ok. I'm done ranting.

Here are fifty ways for me to react to this song!!!

There must be 50 ways to leave RP until this song is over!

I never liked the original that much. This is awful!!

:puke:

dammit.

RP plays such horrible hiphop-esque music. i think they're actually turning people away from the genre with this trash. play something good. aceyalone, madlib, or dj shadow would fit right in here.

but no, we're subjected to this...

This worked a lot better than I thought it would.

And for those who never really liked the original, if I remember correctly, Paul Simon said he originally wrote it to explain the concept of rhyme to his son, which I think is kinda neat, and may explain why it sounds a bit different from other songs he wrote at the time.

I like this better than the original :nodhead:

There are probably 50 ways that I hate this song. :puke:

This song is so terrible, I had to stop what I was doing, log in, just to say so.

:???:

I like the idea of these guys doing a reggae version of
a p simon song sice he likes to use roots themes for his
anglo interps.

it gruuves, but the ad for the band at the end kinda sucks
the big bush warmonger penis.

With all the good music that is available these days, why play this crap?

exactly, the controversy swung my score a few points higher. Not a bad song, but not great either. Probably would have been a lot better on my home speakers, not cheap little headphones.

I just raised my "score", too. Diggin' this.

This is, without any reservation in my mind, the absolute worst song of all time. It is probably the single most influential reason I cannot stand Paul Simon. To hear a rap version just makes me want to totally

VOMIT!

Yeah boy howdy - I'll second that! (pimp)

"Covering" a Paul Simon song seems like a really good idea to me - and besides - this is fun! ease up!!!

yeah - you know I'd never hear this except for RP -
not exactly my bag but pretty cool :D

Whenever I hear a song like this, I have to remind myself that having a "variety" of music means getting to listen to lots of great music, but it also means having to endure some really bad tunes as well.

Not too wild about this one, but it does help remind me that RP is the best source I've ever encountered for really fresh, inventive, unusual covers. Thanks for the variety, Bill!
