The phrase "emo rap" makes me want to chuck.

[Tony Pascarella]

Who the hell is even performing it?

Their rendition of "In Da Club" put a smile on my face.

[SkaBum14]

So what is this? Pussified versions of rap songs? I remember seeing it, but I didn't get it.

Basically they cover rap songs with an acoustic guitar. So yes.

[SkaBum14]

Hmmm....I may have to check it out for the heck of it. But mark my words, Kara, if it's horrible I will make your life a living hell.

I'm prepared for my life to be hell.

It's not good at all, it's not funny at all....it's just horrible, yet I continue listening to it hoping for there to be something better, but no.

[Mercy Medical]

They all just don't want the black man to have anything in this world.

[Vincewithouthee]

Folk rap is better.

[Mercy Medical]

Okay, the only upside of this is "Cause I Started To Cry."

[Fullcollapse3k]

Emo rap? Two words that should never go together.

Folk rap is better.

Thugz Mansion by 2Pac had a semi-folky feel to the guitar part. It was beautiful.

[Mercy Medical]

Okay, so the name of the band performing is Interstate Romance and this is a joke, but this is the premise of the entire band. They have themselves labeled as "emo rap." Haha, what the shit? I think it's just one kid and his name is Andrew. If you Google Interstate Romance it's like the first link.

How do you feel about "hick-hop?"

[SkaBum14]

For a while I wanted to start a hardcore band that only covered rap and pop songs. We could have gone straight to the top. Sigh.....

[richter915]

hahaha the emo part makes these songs horrible.

cuz when a girl walks in with an itty bitty waist and a round thing in ur face you get SPRUNG!

Quite equally as sickened. It has nothing to do with rap or hip hop in general. I can appreciate when that's done well, which is not too often these days. But the words emo and rap don't belong on the same page let alone side by side.

Its just stupid when such a reach is made to put something in to a category.

So basically Me First and the Gimme Gimmes except instead of pop punk you'd be playing hardcore.

Good answer. For anyone who doesn't know what I'm talking about Cowboy Troy (http://www.myspace.com/cowboytroy).
