1) And with a single YouTube video, all the good will Eminem and the Beastie Boys created for white rappers was instantly obliterated.
2) Does this video makes anyone else want to spray two aerosol deodorant cans directly into the sky?
3) Although this was made this year, if someone told me this video was written and performed in 1990, I wouldn't have doubted them for a second.
4) It's a shame Mati couldn't trade the Power of Heart for the Power of Wu-Tang.
5) I don't know how it's possible, but this was so much whiter than I imagined a rap song inspired by Captain Planet could possibly be. And I thought it was going to be pretty goddamn white. (Via Geeks Are Sexy)

Definitely trying to do a parody of itself which completely failed. Instead of evoking humor it just evoked a lot of hatred, from me at least.
I vote that it's a new recording. I doubt there were many girls around with giant gauged ears and nose piercings in 1990.
It's time for another Good Idea/Bad Idea
Good Idea: Ragging Planeteers
Bad Idea: Rapping Planeteers
Fuck two cans of aerosol, i'm going to finance a chinese plastics factory that makes cheap Captain Planet action figures so I can hold the biggest fuck-off bonfire that will blacken the skies and pollute the rivers, killing thousands and leaving millions of unborn children with future horrific mutations and making large swathes of the world uninhabitable for at least 6 generations.
Fucking talentless hippies, they'll be the death of us all, I swear.
...Wow. I mean, at first I thought this was a joke for a moment, but no. The f***ers are actually serious. My god. You...You people all deserve to drown in acid.
And for some reason, did the guitar & other parts of the song remind anyone else of "Rockin' the Suburbs" by Ben Folds for some reason? Man, that guy could show these kids a thing or two about sounding white while actually sounding awesome...
Yeah, there was too little self-awareness (as in, none at all) for this to have been a joke. I'm sure they thought they were being fun, but were also taking themselves seriously.
My favorite part was near the end with the big group "rap" where the guy on the far right of the front row obviously only knew, like, six words.
"Does this video makes anyone else want to spray two aerosol deodorant cans directly into the sky?"
Have you been watching the Jerry O'Connell classic tv show My Secret Identity, Rob?
This must be deliberatly crafted to be this naff. My mind can't contemplate the idea that someone did this straight and thought it was good.
Erk, brain melt.
I'm pretty sure this was meant tongue in Cheek. It just has to be meant as Parody, otherwise Mankind failed and deserves the Dinosaurs Fate.
Ouch. So much shame. That made "MC Rove" (as in Karl Rove) appear like a legitimate Rapper in comparison.
Stupid white people trying to be cool is what the entire "Green" movement is based on.
