Iowa Hawkeye-themed Rap Video Is Predictably Depressing

A little more in-depth analysis of that insipid Hawkeyes rap video by yours truly over at Buster Sports. Short version: ~~"Go fuck yourselves."~~ "As an Iowa fan, I'm underwhelmed. As an Iowan, I'm disgusted."

Be honest

You’re just upset with their failure to use the star wipe

This shit has spread around the web like smallpox.

And I still haven’t watched it. I don’t think I can bring myself to press “play.” Because if I did I think I’d probably be consumed with rage/shame/horror/rage/gas/embarrassment/disgust/rage.

Yeah, it's all over the net...

my buddy e’d me this link. He’s a USC fan (I’ve been going easy on him) and all he could say was “yikes”. Here’s same vid over on “Deadspin”

Personally, I find it amateurish and harmless, though I don’t get the business with dealing the dollar bills.

It's mostly harmless...

But parading around the Timecheck neighborhood like that really pisses me off.

The only thing that would make that tolerable

Is if those two were playing on a slide with some pandas.

Not satire?

They were serious?

I hope they get into a fight with Eminem, and there are no survivors.

By comparison, these two are actually well produced. They just watched Hustle and Flow WAY too many times.

The rap overall was interesting.

I would had been a lot more pleased with the video if they had just stuck to clips of the Cedar Rapids area and any Hawkeye swag flying around town.

Did not understand why he was peeling twenties onto the concrete floor.
