Special Guest Opinion: Dirty South Joe on Why John Brown Was Maliciously Robbed

Fuck yall hateurs. John Brown is the man...
1. Named after one of the most complex and fascinating white people in US history.
2. Has obviously studied the music game well enough to survive as an entity for as long as he pleases.
3. Wrote a song (Car Wars) for the final challenge/performance that was essentially his version of Kanye's "Diamonds From Sierra Leone." Admit it, that shit was deep, thoughtful, and for the format with which he was to present himself, brave.
4. Added "Hallelujah Holla Back" and "Entity, not a rapper" to my everyday vocab before I heard him spit a single rap.
5. He held his own in the battle in Detroit and even got a unanimous vote of confidence from the OG battle rappers in the competition.
6. Mattsoreal & I said so...

Shamrock, however, is a caricature of a caucasian, downsouf rapper. His voice is shrill and high pitched, and his verses and punchlines are outlines of slogans ("Get up get out and DO something") made famous by everybody else. He does the doubletime thang sort of decent, but he's not interesting or talented enough to imagine hearing an entire lp by. Shit, I don't think he could carry a single. I'm not joking when I say that I'd like to hear a John Brown album. With the right production, that shit would be worthwhile. True, he's got a lazy flow and not a lot of energy, but he might actually have something to say.

Obviously, EgoTrip/VH1 made sure they didn't pick the best contestants possible, cause there are quite a few caucasoid heavy spitters runnin around. Regardless, John Brown should have been an easy decision. King of tha burbz was ROBBED!
