    Well, well, well, if it isn’t Run-DMC’s young white avatars. This is half a Rick Rubin album and half a Weird Al parody of 80’s rap. This shouldn’t have been anything more than a novelty album but this is the world we live in I guess. I kind of hate that I like this but I can’t really help it. This is too fun not to like.
