Tomorrow's episode will have Pinkie doing a rap number. Just thought you'd like to know so you can hate the episode in advance like so many others do now.
Give me an eternity, I'll give you an update!
Tomorrow's episode will have Pinkie doing a rap number. Just thought you'd like to know so you can hate the episode in advance like so many others do now.
Maybe it will be good?
It can't be that bad
Why are people hating the episode because of Pinkie rapping?
1981773 Rapping, not raping.
And anyway, what's so bad about Pinkie rapping? Most EQD comments were very positive.

Rapping, please the other word implies something a bit...somewhat off in a hasbro episode.
Idgaf if pinkie raps or if celestia leaves the sun up too long and destroys the world. I want to see twilight get her leadership key, and see us unlock that damned box so everyone can get rainbowfied magical powers as predicted by McDonald's toys.
Cmon, every key gives a rainbow swipe off, rainbow rocks is the name of the next movie...
Duh

Sorry, I have never had to use either form of word, so I never actually knew the correct term.
1981773 sorry... I keep looking at the word and seeing rapeing... Which is spelt raping. You mean rapping... I'm pretty sure pinkie doesnt rape other ponies... Just saying

I fixed it!
I guess the training RD is gonna do will involve waterskiing and jumping over a shark.
From what I've seen, everyone on EqD seems to love the rap. I personally usually hate rap, but Pinkie's was good enough to warrant a 2nd listen just to try and figure out the lyrics.
I, personally, am looking forward to this.
Why would I care if Pinkie raps? Pinkie can do pretty much whatever. Now if they had Fluttershy or Rarity rapping, that might be a bit strange.

Game of thrones has a rap mixtape, do your worst Hub.
I love it, personally!
Oh dear christ....
Lets post the ending of 8 Mile...
Don't even give it a chance, really.
WHAT! This episode will be awesome because of that! How could you say this!
I don't understand why are you so negative sometimes.
But hopefully you are enjoying it.
Rap can actually be very good when it isn't just about how many prostitutes you have had with all the money you make for singing about how many prostitutes you have had with all the money you make. (The music in these songs is often really grating as well.)
As I think this is rather unlikely, I have reasonably high hopes for this.
On the bright side, we know now that the Wonderbolts were founded by Firefly. Lauren's timeless legacy has now been immortalized, and it's all thanks to a dated '80s style rap music video.
I would have been much happier not knowing this.
Oh you silly americans and your rap, you silly, silly folk...
I friggin' love that scene. They captured the 90's eerily well.

Exactly, it's the cultural expectations that have been built up over the years around the genre that is troubling, not the actual fundamental style of the genre itself. There have in fact been multiple very talented rappers who never really did the whole "gangsta" thing, and so long as Pinkie follows suit I think it could be genuinely entertaining.

I guess pop culture is so inundated with the trash of the genre that most people don't even get to hear most of the good songs/artist. In addition there seems to also be a LOT of problems with the industry as a whole that lead to the perpetuation of the problem.
I don't know much about the music, but what I do know comes from my occasional viewings of The Rap Critic over at That Guy With the Glasses. If you interested in learning some stuff about the genre, listening to/finding out about some rap that is actually good, or just want to stare in befuddlement at some of the most hilariously bad/confusing lyrics to have ever been "sung" then check him out.
Spoiler tags exist, you know.

I mean, the EqD links also noted it in the episode links, but I'd prefer to be able to read your blogs without worrying about what's going to happen in future episodes.
