Can you actually listen to the whole thing?

A nice contrast to the following classic essay written about NPR some years ago. Still valid too.




  1. FRAGaLOT says:

    Some rap is good some is crap. all depends who makes it. But I figure even if NPR did a rock song it would also suck.

  2. Urotsukidoji says:

    Damn, that was shitty. I made it up to the girl “singing” with that aweful autotune. I’m sure Antares, maker of autotune, is regretting making the software after that display. I felt Zuckerpunched after hearing that goof-ball rap.

    Sad, Sad, Sad.
    You would think with all the money that these guys get they could do a better job than this.
    However we have to remember “revenues are down. Donations, sponsorship, advertising it’s all down.”
    From someone not living in the US I think this is an insult to the intelligence of most listeners to the so called thinking mans NPR.

    If a horse was this sick they would shoot it.

  4. The0ne says:

    Hahaha, white people rapping. She’s hot though so it’s good!

  5. Floyd says:

    The girl’s cute, but I could do without the “autotune” stuff and the “Rap” kid.

    I do listen to NPR now and then, because the radio alternatives around here are right wingers Rush, Glen Beck and other nutcases, and Pacifica, a group of left wing nutcases–GACK!

  6. ® says:

    got tired of waiting for the buffering at 1:30, got tired of the lameness at :30.
    NPR thinks it needs to appeal to a younger audience. Good luck with that. TOTN is still a good show sometimes, Car Talk is always entertaining, and PHC is not an NPR but an APM show. NPR news is only slightly less corporate-influenced than the commercial nets, because they get so much money from certain corp. sponsors they can’t afford to piss off. We the amorphous potential donating public get a second and a half in the funding credits, after the 15 or 30 second/sponsor “acknowledgements”. And no matter how much you donate, they ask for more.

  7. Rule of thumb:

    If a news story is listed at Project Censored, you won’t find it mentioned on NPR.

    NPR = CIA controlled corporate stooges.

  8. Paul in NC says:

    I thought the video was clever, but what I REALLY want to know is WHO the hottie singing autotune! That woan is smokin hot! WHO IS SHE?

  9. Myead Hertz says:

    “Can you actually listen to…” NO!

  10. Rick Cain says:

    This proves that white people do everything better…not.

    You people do know this wasn’t done by anyone affiliated with NPR, right? He’s just a kid being a goofball.
