Either rap is dead or I have to vote for Ted Cruz now

Either Ted Cruz is hip or rap is dead.

I am not sure which. It has to be one of the two.

A group called We Are Watchmen, a Christian rap group from the Chicago suburb of Westchester, has made what can be loosely described as a “rap paean” to Ted Cruz. It is entitled “Set It On Fire.” It is about four minutes long, and if you listen to it enough times, every ounce of hipness drains from your body and you become Donny Osmond.

The title is misleading. The gist of the song is that you should vote for Ted Cruz because he will fix the things that are wrong with the country, but it is called “Set It On Fire,” which sounds like Ted Cruz wants to watch the world burn. I know that he is given to telling small children that THE WORLD IS ON FIRE, but he always claims to be the guy putting it out, not igniting it. Already I am confused.....

Thanks for mentioning “White & Nerdy.” Al is my favorite singer, and I saw him, in concert five times.
