The Worse Rapper on The Internets?

That’s the only way to explain the “career” of  the really bad rapper, Bangs (Sudan-born, Australian-based), that includes doing TV commercials, being mocked as “The 11th Hottest Rapper in the Game,” getting interviewed by hip hop journalists, and having a distribution deal.

Here‘s some background if you missed this mess.  And Bangs, who mimics 50 Cent (check his laugh), is in on the joke as we can see in his breakout video “Take U to the Movies,” from last year as well as in the video, above, for his latest effort.  Meet me on Facebook.
