The_mjw Posted August 26, 2004 Posted August 26, 2004 The tough homeboy lyrics about an 8-bit game are hilarious in a pathetic, Weird Al sort of way. I appreciate that Star is one of the few out there who is remixing tunes in a style other than techno. However, in my book, rap isn't a style. (DOH!) Quote
Zarla Posted August 28, 2004 Posted August 28, 2004 I'm not one fer rap myself and I listened ta it once before I didn't think it was my kind of song. But then I gave it another chance and paid close attention, and it's got this mellow groove and amusing lyrics that I just didn't notice before. I likes it. Quote
MaGi_TekK Posted August 28, 2004 Posted August 28, 2004 Geeze lighten up you weirdos, star made this song as a joke over 2 years ago, and he wrote it and finished it in about 20 minutes. Can anyone say, pretentious little pricks? Quote
Navi Posted August 29, 2004 Posted August 29, 2004 Hmm it's okay. Sounds like Star is trying to imitate Ludacris, but it comes across like he just lowered the speed on his rap once he had finished recording it. The beat sounds nice, but overall, not as good as Niggaz 4 Life and Unknown from MC. Quote
Wayfarer Posted August 29, 2004 Posted August 29, 2004 It's good. It would have been good without the lyrics, too. I really like the changes in the instruments of the beat, especially the piano part, but the speed changes are weird. Quote
Jonathon Striker Posted August 31, 2004 Posted August 31, 2004 Lol, While I'm not too crazy about the rap, i love the fact that it was done and its not too bad. I haven't heard Star Salzman since the Incredible Singing Robot. Star, Have you been hanging out in the ghetto or somethin', cuz this is ill. Man, I'm looking forward to more of your lyrical skills.

Super-Duper Sombrero Posted September 2, 2004 Posted September 2, 2004 This is the best remix I've heard for a while. Maybe its just because I've been listening to my own mixes, or maybe its just that awesome. That song rocked. Dodecahedron = 12-sided polyhedron. You know, if any of you wanted to know that... Keep it up. It made me laugh. Quote
Protricity Posted September 3, 2004 Posted September 3, 2004 This is some crazy killer power orchestra rap.. whatever. Just great stuff. I was at star's house when he made this. We got rather into it. Its easily one of my favorites from him. Creativity is simply spilling off of it. Very well used original source material. Round 1:30 is when I feel it gets the most powerful. 1:50 always makes me laugh. This is simply a music style you'll never hear anywhere but here. Sweet. Quote
TwinTurboTerrorist Posted September 28, 2004 Posted September 28, 2004 Remember the Gorillaz song, Clint Eastwood? This actually reminds me of that... Very well done and fun to listen to! Quote
Vague Rant Posted November 18, 2004 Posted November 18, 2004 I'm with djp on this one. I think the lyrics are great, but I can't get into the song. I'll probably go back to listening to Pillar of Salt now. Quote
jordex Posted December 19, 2004 Posted December 19, 2004 everythings great but i dont like the voice of the vocalist, its too gangster for me but if someone else did the vocals or just took em out, ild wet myself over this song Quote
Tex Posted January 1, 2005 Posted January 1, 2005 everythings great but i dont like the voice of the vocalist, its too gangster for mebut if someone else did the vocals or just took em out, ild wet myself over this song I tried to remove vocals in the Goldwave but failed. I wanted to listen this music without the vocals. Good orchestra/rap. Quote
Vero Posted January 23, 2005 Posted January 23, 2005 I actually like it, it's great for a laugh, and the music is also pretty good. I'm not really a fan of hip-hop, but I find this great. Quote
Zenth Relin Posted April 18, 2005 Posted April 18, 2005 I don't know how I came back to this mix reviews, but oh well... I'll worry about the health consequences a bit later. I remember everytime I came across a mix where the review mentions it had lyrics, I always got this bad feeling because I don't enjoy lyrics in most songs- mostly due to that it's hard to enjoy the -music- and any lyrics at the same time (if they are even audible). I think this mix if fairly clear, flows well, and has humorous lyrics, which labels it a keep for me. Quote
Digital_Adhesive Posted April 19, 2005 Posted April 19, 2005 For what it is and what it was meant to be, I think it's a decent piece overall. I also think the author has done much, much better material (I'm a huge fan of his Bionic Commando remix). Quote
Dionyseus Posted October 31, 2005 Posted October 31, 2005 I like the background music but I don't like the vocals. Also, can this actually be considered rap? Seems way too slow to be classified as rap, sounds more like reggae? Quote
Audity Posted April 5, 2006 Posted April 5, 2006 This is some crazy killer power orchestra rap.. whatever. Just great stuff.I was at star's house when he made this. We got rather into it. Its easily one of my favorites from him. Creativity is simply spilling off of it. Very well used original source material. Round 1:30 is when I feel it gets the most powerful. 1:50 always makes me laugh. This is simply a music style you'll never hear anywhere but here. Sweet. Agreed 100% The middle section is so good. Complete juxtaposition that works. I'm glad I don't hate rap because it's one of the best things ever, and I used to hate it til I stopped being gay. Quote
HitoriJaNai Posted December 1, 2009 Posted December 1, 2009 I actually listened to this and froze for a split second when I heard the lyrics, thinking that someone had turned on the radio when I wasn't looking or something. GAH I'M HEARING THINGS Nah, it was a good surprise. The lyrics made me laugh, made me think of trudging through a good(?) kind of sludge through space. o.o Good job. Quote
OceansAndrew Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 WHY YOU DISTRACTIN' ME? I SAID DON'T EVER BUG ME WHILST I'M BEIN' A KILLA i think that's all that needs to be said, but since I'm feeling verbose, I'll say a bit more. I like the original theme a lot, but i'm not really hearing much of it throughout, and the lyrics aren't great, though the flow and delivery is good enough. I think speeding up the track a bit mroe overall would be good, more of a club/party track. Quote
Holy Land Posted October 1, 2010 Posted October 1, 2010 Inspired delivery, I'm liking this. Never heard the original, though. This is a puzzlingly unique and amusing mix, to be honest I can't even point the reason I like it - I just know I do. It feels way shorter than it actually is, then again it's probably better that way. A+++, would (and will) hear again. Quote
Audity Posted June 15, 2021 Posted June 15, 2021 After going through 1400 OCRs so far to find favorites, I feel like this one speaks to me the most... from the point of view of FEELING GOOD, genuinely, or, as if it is speaking to me on another plane or realm than the usual, "Wow, this is a great track." It's the central pillar. But I keep abstaining from going back, waiting until the time is upon me, after finishing my OCR journey, to experience sweet bliss from a deliberately dopey guy's fitting voice singing about something on the Sega Master System, which I never owned yet have nostalgia for because of getting to play some of its games later.
