Sliders: Library Rap
Why can’t some really talented hip-hop artists do library promotion? How about Jurassic 5? I’d love to see a Chali 2na READ poster.
Look at the lower left corner of the screen. This fictional hip-hop group (from the television show Sliders) is called MC Poindexter and the Study Crew.

Lyrics:
Yo homes, what up?
What up with you?
What we gonna say?
What we gonna do?
Where we gonna go?
What we gonna see?
We’re goin’ to
The Library.I’m moving down the aisle with my homeys in tow
We’re groovin’ in the home of the librarian (yo!)
She checks us out from behind thick glasses
We walk right past and we wiggle our asses.Hemingway, Lawrence, Chekhov and Miller
Fitzgerald was a freak, Mailer is a killerQuiet please!
Quiet please!The silence is golden
To books I am beholden
I know I’m bad,
‘Cuz of the knowledge that I’m holdin’!And I give you one warnin’
There will be no repeats:
Get out of my face
While I’m readin’ my Keats.
*Sigh.* Such whack rhymes. If you like it anyway, there is an mp3 here.

One of my favorite RATM songs is Bulls on Parade – because it mentions libraries, naturally.
