I’m not normally impressed when rappers toot their own horn a little too loud, but this “E! Channel” press release is beyond hilarious:
Elucid must have balls constructed of highly-polished, rust-resistant titanium to rap over the irresistible bop of Suzanne “Vega’s classic “Tom’s Diner.” Come on now. But like everything else he does, it works. Elucid spins a voyeuristic third-person narrative of infidelity witnessed from a window in his customary vivid poeticism.
Titanium balls, huh?
Update: khal is right, Elucid didn’t write that press release. Still funny though.
