“You got a problem, take a number and a name, ’cause we got snakes on this motherfucking plane.”

I don’t think I’ve posted a rap song before, and today I’m posting three. The first two of these were submitted to the Tagworld contest. If these are indicative of the quality of the Tagworld submissions, I’m really looking forward to hearing the winners.

Serious Problems by Zachary

SoaP by Geoff

Snakes on a Plane by F16

I’m really a big fan of the first one, which I know was submitted to Tagworld. The second one makes use of real Samuel L. Jackson dialogue from both his NPR interview and the unofficial/official trailer. I haven’t had a chance to listen to the third the one yet… any good?

I’ve also decided not to post submissions to the Tagworld contest that don’t include vocals. As good as many of those submissions are, they really aren’t Snakes on a Plane specific, it’s the lyrics that really make these songs hit. So, if you’ve submitted a song wtithout lyrics, and I haven’t posted it, don’t think I wasn’t impressed… just that I’m narrowly focused.

UPDATE: Links fixed.  

All previous Fan Songs.

OMFG Check out the third one. I heard it on another site, and it’s also going into the tagworld contest.

Comment by Dan L — April 11, 2006 @ 10:45 am

I’m liking the third one. It’s the first good snakes on a plane rap I have heard so far.

Comment by Corey — April 11, 2006 @ 2:16 pm

Hated the third one. Dude, the snakes don’t have time for your sad little hard-man posturing. And Samuel L. Jackson would most definitely not approve. The first one rocked, though!

Comment by Carl! — April 11, 2006 @ 3:30 pm

If you didn’t like the F16 one you don’t have a soul. Shit is funny.

“AALIYAH’S STILL ALIVE” HAHAHAHAHAHA

That’s undeniable.

Comment by Dan L — April 11, 2006 @ 3:51 pm

The 3rd one is funny. And Samuel L would love it, he hates on everyone and the song make him like a God. It’s funnier than the others too. F16 has a future?

Comment by Christina C — April 11, 2006 @ 3:53 pm

I don’t know about everyone else, but I think the guys of F16 are lyrical geniuses. The verses flow like no other with a common theme… SNAKES ON A PLANE. Their sexual innuendos using snakes reminds me of the great lyricist Big Pun. The lyrics “couldn’t measure my dick with six rulers” was unbeatable, until now. “Astoglide into first class and slither like a snake all up in that ass.” Genius, pure genius. Plus, F16 talks shit about everyone and anyone. Like Kanye West, they’re not afraid to say anything. If you can’t recognize young talent when you hear this song, “YA’LL SNAKES IS FAGGOTS!” That’s it and that’s all. F16’s making it big.

Comment by Steve F — April 11, 2006 @ 4:33 pm

Word. As I said before, I’d seen this on other sites so you know it’s getting some publicity. I can’t stop listening to it, I like it more with each listen. For the time being, this has my vote…some of the other songs from earlier posts were well-made, but almost all of them were kind of corny. This one has something else going for it…I mean when you hear the beat come in you know shit’s about to hit the fan. And then it does…awesome.

If this actually made the soundtrack, it would be the “Trapped In the Closet” bizarro hit of the year.

Comment by Dan — April 11, 2006 @ 4:44 pm

If you guys are being sarcastic about F16’s lyrical genius, you’re spot-on. If not, you must be related to one or more members of F16. Because otherwise, there’s nothing remotely new about what they’re doing. Ooh, “faggots.” Ooh, snakes as phallic symbols. The “Shed Yo Skin” guys got there first, AND made a video.

Comment by Carl! — April 11, 2006 @ 4:53 pm

Well with a movie that’s going to lack all seriousness, the first track doesn’t fit. This kid actually sat down and tried to make a song that a serious song about a ridiculous movie. Boring and repetitive, sit down and go find something else to occupy your time with if you’re trying to make this movie into something serious when Sammy L said it himself that this was a joke.

The second track = broken link. In other words that pisses me off enough whereas I don’t even want to hear it now.

The third track on the other hand, it works. It’s funny and fitting. Who honestly wants to hear a song that takes the idea of snakes on a plane so seriously that you can’t crack jokes about it. Zach take notes, you want to be noticed you have got to make yourself stand out. F16 does just that and more. I want to go see this movie and hear a song that’s going to make me laugh and see it for what it’s worth, that is a joke. They hit the right formula with this and are looking at some success. If you make the public laugh how could you deny them the cred that they deserve. And for those who can’t laugh about snakes not dancing cause they ain’t got feet, you need to reconsider your worth to society.

Comment by Scott — April 11, 2006 @ 5:00 pm

F16 aint nothin to fuck with, remember that. Whether it’s Legit H’s superb production value, the quality of the beat, or the lyrical genius of the whole squad, F16 raises the bar in the Snakes On a Muthafuckin Plane competition. They not only raise the bar, they break it over their knee and beat the shit out of everyone else below them. Vote for them, bitch.

Comment by BK — April 11, 2006 @ 5:06 pm

When he says lyrical genius, it’s not like he’s comparing them to Talib Kweli or something…but if you’re saying what they have to say isn’t funny, then sorry…that’s where I disagree.

I’ve seen a couple of videos….one was the Shed Yo Skin, which first of all, was just lame. It was essentially a couple of ugly kids singing in falsetto. Like I mean I applaud the effort, but seriously…it wasn’t as funny as it was stupid. The other “rap” was on collegehumor, and that was just a blatant rip of SNL’s Chronicles of Narnia rap but about Snakes on a Plane.

I think what’s funny about this group is that they sound dead serious about what they’re doing, even though what they’re saying is completely off the wall. So I suppose there’s a hint of sarcasm in calling it “lyrical genius.” I’d be more inclined to call it comedic gold. Plus that beat could be used in a club or something…it has the most marketing appeal.

I’m not going to start a flame war against you cause I’m liking the discussion right now, but that’s just my opinion.

PS. BK are you in F16? If so nice work on this.

Comment by Dan — April 11, 2006 @ 5:09 pm

And if you’re knocking homophobia in rap, please. I mean obviously it’s not cool to call someone a fag in the world we live in today, but if you listen to rap at all you know that even some of the most respected and socially conscious rappers can be accused of gay-bashing. It’s a completely different world.

Comment by Dan — April 11, 2006 @ 5:17 pm

The third one has a kickin beat and actually made me laugh. How you gonna dance if you ain’t got no feet?

Comment by Tara — April 11, 2006 @ 5:17 pm

Hey Zachary, their is a serious problem with your song, and it’s the entire fucking thing.

Geoff, get your shit fixed and I’ll let you know.

I have to agree with everyone else, F16’s rendition of Snakes On A Plane is exquisite, the feel good beat of 2006. F16 offers a sweet ass beats, genious rhymes, and notorious one-liners.

Comment by Ron L — April 11, 2006 @ 5:34 pm

snakes on a plane by f16 is amazing. their lyrical stylings simply cannot be beat, or even compared to the other two “songs.” good work f16 keep it up.

Comment by Lillian — April 11, 2006 @ 5:45 pm

yo this is legit h. i didn’t realize shit would blow up like this. we’ve been posting this all over the place since it was done, so it’s nice to see it get some exposure. thanks to everyone for showing love for the track, if we get the word out we definitely got a shot at winning this thing. our account is

Comment by legit h — April 11, 2006 @ 6:04 pm

I’m taking notes indeed! Your dudes’ skills run thick, each individual has so much talent it’s hard to handle all of it in one dose. That “Furious Five” throwback sound quality is so retro hip I can barely stand it. For a second there, I thought I might have been listening to the Wu, but no, that’s just F-16.

But listen boys, the last thing I want to do is start some beef with the F16 unit. I know when dudes are hardcore and you dudes sound SERIOUS. I don’t fuck with static, tech automatics or deadly mathematics and F-16 seems to run deep with all three. I can tell you boys are some hardcore, street sweepin’, tony slangin’ types and I know which fights to pick and choose. If you dudes were some khaki wearing, daddy’s deposit spending, Three Doors Down adoring clowns then I’d do battle, BUT CLEARLY THAT’S NOT THE CASE.

F-16 unit for life! Fuck Zachary that lil’ faggot punk ass bitch!

signing off,

Zachary

i didn’t talk shit about your song, “zachary,” i kind of liked it, so i don’t know where all the heat is coming from. no one said fuck zachary…so chill the fuck out.

Comment by zachary — April 11, 2006 @ 6:21 pm

I’ve fixed the bad link to the second song. Sorry about that.

I’m not a big fan of the homophobia in F16’s song.

Comment by Snakes on a Blog — April 11, 2006 @ 6:26 pm

The first one is by far the best.

And Scott who posted at 5PM, if you’ve got motherfuckin snakes on your motherfuckin plane, you’ve got a serious problem.

F-16, did you guys graduate from Widney High (http://www.kidsofwidneyhigh.com/)? Sounds like it.

Comment by Dubbs — April 11, 2006 @ 6:38 pm

I made the mistake of reading the comments before I heard the songs. So I was expecting to hear some hot shit from F16 but after hearing the song I kinda feel bad for these guys. Not because they made this song with a Teddy Ruxpin and a reel-to-reel in someone’s basement, but because they still think it’s cool to yell into the mic like their Funk Flex ruining a mixtape.

The funniest thing on the song was the ‘not’ joke (”G U ‘Not”) which is so old and played out, that it might actually be funny again the same way Members Only jackets are in style again. I’m giving you guys the benefit of the doubt with that one but you probably just lucked out.

Comment by Frank — April 11, 2006 @ 7:18 pm

ok, the first song is trying to be way to serious. honestly, have you seen the trailer for this movie? how can you be serious about that? you know who else took themselves seriously? vanilla ice. and how are you gonna edit yourself in the song. THIS IS A SAMUEL L. JACKSON MOVIE. that man has made a career out of profane one-liners.
F16 clearly knows how to do it. and they have no fear, they’re talking bad about everyone. i’m suprised they dont bad-mouth terri schaivo too.

Comment by jeremy — April 11, 2006 @ 7:32 pm

The third track from F16 has a sick beat along with some lyrical quality i havent heard since the late 80s. It clearly tops the other tracks and leaves me wondering is aaliyah really alive?
Shit was funny too, whereas the other 2 tracks were just repeating and rather lame.

Comment by Clint — April 11, 2006 @ 7:37 pm

Track three struck gold to me. the first song was alright, it had an okay beat but it didnt have anything that i felt stood out. The lyrics all seemed pointless to me. It was acceptable but i dont know if it would get my vote in the contest. Track 2…ehh…i felt was clearly the weakest of the three. It was the shortest and consisted of repeating one quote over and over again, then a chorus, then repeating the quote even more. The thing that stood out about the first one is it had 3 rappers all with unique styles. The different verses blended well and they werent afraid to try something new. Great work F16, as of now my vote is yours.

Comment by Jeremy L — April 11, 2006 @ 8:24 pm

listen zachary,

i don’t know what your problem is, you act like we called people out here to make fun of your song. i thought it was alright, but seeing as you don’t mind taking shots at me then let’s go.

first of all, your flow is somewhere between positive k and the kids rapping at the end of bill nye the science guy. that’s a bad thing. i liked your beat, but if i wanted to jack funk samples and then rap about snakes on planes then i would have. it’s going to hurt if you make it somewhere in the contest and then it comes out that you don’t own intellectual property to your own work. whoops.

so yeah, talk all the shit you want about my track. i wanted something loud that got people’s attention, and apparently, i did. say what you want about it’s simplicity, you don’t have to reinvent the wheel to create a hit. love it or hate it, more people are talking about our track than yours, including yourself. so thanks for the publicity…your arrogance throughtout all of this might just prompt a mixtape. i’ll keep you informed.

Comment by legit h — April 11, 2006 @ 9:44 pm

dude Positive K is kinda dope

Comment by zachary — April 11, 2006 @ 9:46 pm

Geoff’s song was better before the link got fixed

Comment by Ron L — April 11, 2006 @ 10:11 pm

Well, I am somewhat biased in my opinion because the kids of F16 have been my motherfuckin snakes on a lifetime of friendship… but I have to say, they’re usually witty, funny, and entertaining to be around at a party, never leaving out the chuckle-worthy quip or seven, always good taste in music… but seriously, i am goddamn impressed. the other 2 songs were ok, I give them all an E for effort, but out of the three, I could actually listen to the third one and sing along and not feel like I’m endorsing my friends’ lameass song, because it isn’t lame. It has potential to win this contest if enough people listen to it. And for the haters, your stabs are ILLegit. [no pun intended............ nah, nevermind, pun intended.] Listen to HipHop Top 40, mainstream, or underground, and you come up with one song devoid of homophobia, celebrity bashing, and/or random Torettes-like outbursts pre-mid-and post rap [MURDAH INC...TWO THOUSAND FO'....]. I dare you. Rap doesn’t exist without it anymore, unless it’s Christian rap, in which case, I surrender. Good work serpents of F16, I motherfuckin salute you.

On a plane.

Comment by Cammie — April 11, 2006 @ 10:29 pm

Furthermore… did anyone else get the old school Beastie Boys vibe from F16? Because I definitely did… I feel like they did it unintentionally… which is even better. Ya know, back when the Beastie Boys were fucking sweet… when each of the three had their own sound and identity in every song… you can tell the difference between the 3 guys of F16, they each have their own flow. #1 (LH) hit you strong with the beat of the song, like BAM in your motherfuckin snake face, this song is sweet #2 (MD) incorporates his own name so smoothly [which even sounds sweet.. mike d...] and has the best flow with the words, brilliant lyrics and #3 (JC) says the funniest shit, bringing the whole thing to a comedic, yet still retaining its overall value as a song without being corny/stupid/repetitive/lame. Come ON, what originality… Aaliyah’s still alive? You cannot beat that. Sorry Tupac, sorry Biggie, sorry Elvis. It’s funny. The movie’s going to be funny. We’re a twisted generation, and F16 embodies the shit that every single one of us wants to listen to and laugh about. None of you can deny that. Alright, I’m out. Vote for em, I think you are all somewhat curious to see what they could become if they won. They have talent, and drive. [Not um... just a cardboard paper plane and rubber snakes...]

Comment by Cammie — April 11, 2006 @ 10:42 pm

I’m pretty sure that saying “Everyone else is homophobic, so I should be homophobic too” is not a valid argument. Just because other rappers are homophobic doesn’t lessen my lack of interest in listening to your homophobic music.

I would point, as an example of at least one group who has been able to move past it, to the aforementioned Beastie Boys.

It’s not something that has to be there, it’s something you chose to put there. If that’s what you’re about, so be it. But don’t try to blame the industry for your ignorance.

Comment by Snakes on a Blog — April 11, 2006 @ 10:45 pm

to be fair, the only part of the song that’s homophobic is the shoutouts…those can be easily removed when the time comes. i’m not using other artists to defend us, i’m just wondering why it’s such a shock considering how prevalent it is.

ps. the mixtape is brewing.

Comment by legit h — April 11, 2006 @ 11:09 pm

It’s not shocking. It’s just wrong.

Prevalence does not change that.

Comment by Snakes on a Blog — April 11, 2006 @ 11:14 pm

P.S. I’m not saying rap NEEDS homophobia in it to be good either, I am simply stating the fact that other successful songs do have it, or some other form of racial/cultural/whatever insensitivity. I don’t condone homophobia at all, nor do the men of F16, but it’s a joke, the whole thing is supposed to be funny. And it is, take the joke, take the loss, and move on. They are not conforming to ‘the ignorance of the industry”, but offering a satire on commonly popular mainstream rap-songs from the past 6-7 years or so. If you take them seriously on everything they say in the song, who’s the ignorant one again? Case in point man.

And the Beasie Boys talk about porn and girls [girls....girls...girls...] as merely specimens OF men in some of their songs.. I think porn is degrading to women.. am I going to bitch about it to attack a song that is catchy and everyone likes for its overall appeal? No. Am I going to find one element of one of their songs to make it seem like I have a valid argument in saying the artists themselves are ignorant or chauvinistic? NO. Because talking about porn and girls is sometimes funny when it isn’t serious. Check your logic, bro.

Comment by Cammie — April 11, 2006 @ 11:15 pm

p.p.s. last one because your excuses are lame and i have shit to do: why didn’t you make a huge deal out of ‘n**gas!!!’ in their song, since you’re so politically correct? Seems a bit hypocritically selective there… if you’re going to preach, cover all your bases. We’ll see who comes out on top in this thing.

Comment by Cammie — April 11, 2006 @ 11:27 pm

There’s a difference between parody and normal, straightforward use. If the homophobia was included as parody, to mock others’ use of homophobia, that’s not nearly as bad. I admit I didn’t read it that way, but that’s just me. I’m not an expert in hip-hop.

Additionally, I have complained before about racism/sexism before. Alas, I don’t have as much free time as I’d like, so I don’t necessarily see/hear everything I would find objectionable.

In this case, something jumped out at me, so I calmly stated my objection. I will continue to do so when something seems out of place. It feels like a pretty good policy to me… better than the alternative of simply ignoring it… especially on a website that I control and am ultimately responsible for. If I’m going to have my name attached to something that I heartily disagree with, I might as well say so.

Comment by Snakes on a Blog — April 11, 2006 @ 11:41 pm

this is an outrage, there’s a lot of things that one group or another is going to consider wrong in F-16’s song. i don’t imagine laci peterson’s family is too happy about the “free scott peterson” comment. i’m sure all the marcus vick fans arent too happy about the brandishing firearms comments. i’m sure people with amputated feet arent too happy with the “how you gonna dance if you ain’t got no feet.” thats just flaunting it. so clearly, all these groups should be just as offended at how wrong this song is. I have feet, but i dont think it’s right to wave it in someones face. clearly the boys of f16 need to know when they’ve crossed the line

Comment by jeremy — April 11, 2006 @ 11:48 pm

I was trying to refrain from taking this thread seriously for a couple reasons. One, the topic is a film called “snakes on a plane”, two, we’re on a website called “snakes on a blog”, three, my song is a joke, “my seatbelt is a boa-constrictor” is really a stretch if someone thinks I’m trying to be serious.

If you’re going to go ahead and go thru with the effort of putting up fake posts, which for the record is a strategy I respect, you have to be more subtle about it. Your overuse of the word “genious” and consistently spelling the same words incorrectly are a dead giveaway boys. Better luck next time with that. It’s kind like of a little drug habit, you can deny it until you’re blue in the face but every person in here (you, me, Brian) knows what’s going on.

Sample clearance is something that all film and television studios have to do. Those of us who have sold songs (for real money!) to such organizations understand that that process isn’t a big deal. If my song is lucky enough to make it that far, my manager (a real person who’s not my friend!) will handle that situation. Us ASCAP dudes do what we want and let the office nerds worry about those things. You wouldn’t understand because your song sounds like it was recorded in the backseat of Camry. I’m a professional, paid in full like Rakim, this is nothing but a fun little break from what I get PAID to do, which is make bangin’ ass tracks for your ugly ass girlfriend to dance poorly to. (that was a liittle uncalled for, my bad).

I got an e-mail from Tagworld today, the PR girl there digs the track so much she set up an interview for me with a publication. (A real magazine!). “Thanks for the publicity” and when it hits, “I’ll keep you informed”. (For the record, this little “competition” is officially now over).

You’re gonna do a mixtape? With what may I ask? A f’ng mini-casio keyboard and one ten dollar mic? You ain’t Mannie Fresh bro. Jesus Christ a mixtape, you don’t even know what a fucking mixtape is, where are you going to distribute this classic? In the wild ass streets of whatever soccer mom suburb you reside in?Which one of your money fumbling friends is going to shell out the dough for a real recording? You want to talk about a topic that’s relevant, it’s not homophobia, it’s the gross overuse of the word “mixtape”, considering you fools have no idea what that means in the first place. Please man with the mixtape stuff.

Thanx for the props on my production. My producer’s name is Greasy Jenkins, but I call him “lil’ drummer boy” because he works out on the MPC like he’s auditioning for Motley Crue. You wouldn’t understand that b/c your beat was put together with a pair of toenail clippers and some lincoln logs.

Legit F, or whatever the fuck your name is, your little fun gig is up homie. Let me give you some real advice, no shit here. You and your boys have a lot of energy, a lot of wit and a pretty sick, twisted sense of humor which is great. Take that energy and that wild sense of humor and put it into your recording, delivery and effort and you’ll have something. Because as of right now, your song sounds like complete snake shit. (is there such a thing?)

This is it for me boys, but thanks for making my day a fun one.

Comment by zachary — April 11, 2006 @ 11:52 pm

seriously, zachary here is much to street for the boys of F16. the man is a serious professional, seriously. we can only hope someday to be able to take time out of our seriously busy professional life of making “bangin’ ass tracks,” to put together a serious track such as “serious problems.”
a track so seriously hard that it edits itself. seriously
seriously, zachary is much too serious for such unserious juveniles as the boys of f16

seriously.

Yeah, i meant respong

Comment by J Coz — April 12, 2006 @ 12:56 am

I have now listened to each track respectivly and from an unbiased perspective and here are some quick notes:

- First off and most importantly, anyone who even considers this movie a work of cinematic masterpiece, needs to get their fucking head checked. Samuel L is cool, but there is no way in hell he can shoot a snake with a handgun like the trailer advertises. I mean come on, no fucking person is that good. And the snakes are a mixture of CGI shitwork, and rubber toys from k-mart, so calm the fuck down

-Now i do know the boys from F16 and i think it is amazing that just out of pure talent and sheer boredom that they can turn out a classic like Snakes on a Plane. I mean damn they did cut this probally in a room with a Mac and Zachary you had a fucking “studio” and thats the best you can do???? i mean the only thing missing from the “studio” work is little john in the background screaming yeah’s and okay’s. F16 however uses their lyrical genius and wit to come up with catchy hooks and rhymes that compel the listener to smile, if not laugh hysterically. Again noting that they did probally do this in 30 minutes off of the top of their head, i applaud you gentlemen.

-Finally, I dont know if having a big black man named Taqwon shove his penis inside you qualifies you as an established “artist” Zachary. If it did then i should probally bow to your greatness now. The true little khaki wearing white boy is heard repeatedly in your track. Just because you speak with a twang doesn’t hide the fact that you are a little poser ass white kid trying to be something bigger than he is. If you want to pull your penis out and measure it with those of F16 fine, but really isn’t it sad that you are trying whereas they are just bullshitting yet still destroying you

p.s. i kinda liked zachary’s song, he’s just a little douche-fuck

Comment by Clif G — April 12, 2006 @ 3:48 am

PS. Zach I still think it’s funny how you think all of our “fans” are really just us posting under different names, but I think you should know by now that they ain’t…sorry. They’re all different people as far as I know, unless someone likes us enough to post under two different names for the sake of variety…which doesn’t make sense anyway.

Regardless, we’re ready for you to throw down tomorrow…I have exams to study for but if you bring it we might be able to work you in.

Is everyone who is saying that the f16 song is great and they are lyrical genius’, are you fucking around? Someone compared f16 to early beasties, are you serious? I don’t know, maybe I didn’t listen to the same song, but I couldn’t sit through that shit.

They couldn’t rap, they had no flow, the lyrics were trash. I know this is a song about SoaP, but a pretty big flame war is going on. I picture f16 as a bunch of little white wanna-be thugs, or a group of dudes trying to be humorously ironic, with their shit production, lyrics, and flow. Either way, IMO, it doesn’t work.

Okay, so we’ve established that the guys from F16 are, in fact, 14 years old and out of school on spring break. That answers a lot of questions, including why all their friends think their lyrics are “genius” — a word that has clearly undergone a major devaluation if it can be applied to “Y’all snakes is faggots.”

Maybe we can hope for some actual content around the time the F16 crew get their learners’ permits. Perhaps by then the novelty of puberty will have worn off and they will no longer be fascinated by the (previously theoretical) existence of their own wangs. They might even learn a thing or two about how to make music by then — nah, that’s too much to hope for.

Rock on, Snakes on a Blog.

looks like Zachary just got his ass served by a couple of 14 year olds

Comment by Ron L — April 12, 2006 @ 10:54 am

yo I just got up and realized after reading the sentence “I have exams to study for” the harsh reality of this situation. I’ve been sitting here exchanging insults on something called “snakes on a blog” with three virgins in a dorm room with a karioke mic. The sad truth is, I really can’t take myself seriously continuing down this path. Fucking A, exams man. I’m bailing, F-16 you boys win. Congratulations, I mean that sincerely, you served me up good, I am now in agreement that F-16 is the greatest rap band since EPMD. I gracefully (or not so gracefully), bow out.

Love forever,

-Zachary-

I think J-coz said it best with:

1) My dick is still in your mom.

Anytime you see a ‘mom’ cut, it’s code for “I don’t have anything clever to say, and it’s clear that I’m outmatched”

It sounds like Zac’s encouragement in the last message is, in fact sincere; but sincere in the way that we encourage Bronze medalists at the Special Olympics… “super job guys, we’re so proud of you!”

Comment by Frank — April 12, 2006 @ 11:47 am

Hey Zach, what happened to all that shit about getting into the studio today, I thought you and your sweet ass producer were gonna bring the “UH OH”

oh what, the recording studio you went to once in your life doesn’t have time for your ass today, that’s what i thought

a forfeit like that is unacceptable, I want to hear some retaliation damnit

Comment by Ron L — April 12, 2006 @ 12:31 pm

The fact they’re in college and have a ton of other shit to do and still managed to pretty much throw together some beats and funny lyrics for a less-than oscar-worthy flick is pretty impressive in itself. Then came up with the diss track in, oh, 30 minutes. I don’t care what anyone else says, the shit is funny, and you know it. And if you deny it, it’s because you’re taking the whole movie/contest seriously.

Last and final applause to the guys of F16..

“HULK HOGAN… I’M COMIN FOR YOU —–!!!!” [censored by snakes on a blog, sorry guys]

Dear Zachary,

Please come back. We miss you! I need to hear your diss track. This is the biggest disappointment for me since I premature ejaculated all over that girl back in 9th grade (last week since I’m 14). Really though, everyone wants to hear the track. I’m not trying to be snide or dick-ish, I really want to hear it. Nobody is taking this too seriously. It’s things like this that kept Terri Schaivo alive. Do you really wanna end another vegetable’s life? At least give us a chance to make another track. This is like Ether/Takeover shit. You think Jay-z and Nas actually gave a shit about their beef? They have sex now. Please come back and lay down another track.

EVERYONE wants it.
Nobody is taking this serious.
And I guess this is just a ploy to get you in bed.

But beware, of course, as Olmec once said…

“J Coz will blow his load early on your temple…guards”

Peace.

Comment by J Coz — April 12, 2006 @ 2:36 pm

Zach,

The only harsh reality is that this is your joke of a “career,” and that you wasted all of yesterday talking shit about us and promising to bring it back when you could have been working 9-5 at McDonald’s and getting your broke ass out of your mom and dad’s house. And then on top of that…you didn’t bring it back.

And I guess that’s where we’re all one up on you, seeing as we don’t live in a dorm…we’re “grown-ups” now. I am insulted by your claims that someone would pay for any of the 4 songs that you have posted. So I guess if you aren’t coming back, I guess I’ll just say you’re free to go back throwing the bird back up at the camera with one hand while you jack off your Nick Lachey wannabe buddy with the other.

You know what, Carl!, Frank, I know you got Zach Attack’s back, and that’s fine. You can say what you want…the lyrics, the beat, all inferior to “Serious Problem”…too bad no one gives a shit and that’s the honest truth. You know who else has stupid beats and no lyrical skills…D4L…didn’t stop them though. Someone said “humorously ironic.” I think that’s a big part of it, sorry he didn’t get it anyway but apparently there’s more than enough people here that do.

Call us 14 it doesn’t matter, and say there was too many your mom jokes…at the end of the day we still only gave another 30 minutes to sitting your boy’s ass down, and as of last night he knew he was beat until he came back with something…oh wait he did, a pussy ass excuse that he wouldn’t have a track because we’re in college coming up with this pretty much off the top of our heads. In a few years we’ll be making six figures and still have time to do shit like this, where Zachary’s metrosexual ass will still be throwing down pink ties and high fives with his “manager” that he’s been hiding behind like his parents’ 401k. So I guess he is beat, in more ways than just his (and admittedly, our) joke of a rap game. So if he stops being a bitch and has something to bring then I’ll be the first one to listen.

It was fun, it’s a shame you three took us all so seriously and maybe you would have enjoyed yourselves too.

Peace.

Give the people what they want! Take your finger out of your vagina and lay down some tracks. Everyone wants to hear what you have to back up your shit talk.

Comment by Steve F — April 12, 2006 @ 3:28 pm

Oh. Sorry. You’re all of *19* (ooh! legal beer coming soon, boys!) and in college and so very homophobic as to ring some major denial/repression bells. Who’s taking this seriously? The business (I’m thinking accounting, for some reason) major who posts paragraphs full of very revealing insults? Don’t you have exams coming up? (You *do!* Hee hee!!)

Your song is still lame. Even without the bitch/fag triteness, it’s just not very… good. Not even catchy, just muddled, uneven and full of the same sad posturing you might expect from dudes with fake IDs.

Free advice: learn a thing or two about what makes a song interesting, innovative and strong (consider an elective in music next semester, maybe!); spare a thought for the meaning of what you’re actually saying rather than what cracks you up after the bowl’s been cached; develop a sense of humor that goes beyond “Fag! Heh-heh!”; and — and this is key — quit taking *yourselves* so seriously. We can feel your wounded pride from here; you’re not cloaking it very well.

Comment by Carl! — April 12, 2006 @ 4:58 pm

I don’t have much more to say except if you assumed we’re the type of people that go “Fag…heh heh” then you didn’t get our song or where we’re coming from. For the last time, none of us are homophobes, yelling out faggot and homo was meant to be taken as irony. Most of that shit was derived from one of Nas’ first mixtapes against Jay-Z where the DJ opened it with “BRAND NEW FROM NAS! NOW WHO’S THE DUMMY YOU HOMO?!?.” We weren’t laughing at it because we were like “oh damn he just got Jay good” we were laughing because it was so far over the top that how could we not laugh. If that’s not your sense of humor fine, go listen to “Shed Your Skin” instead…I personally thought that was lame as shit, but to each his own.

If you haven’t gotten it by now then fine, you probably never will, and that’s ok…there’s people out there that did get it and thought it was funny…including more people than just my friends, and that’s good enough for me. We did this for fun and we had fun with it.

And ps, if you didn’t at the very least like the first verse on the diss track then you obviously don’t know shit about lyricism, because that was impressive.

Comment by legit h — April 12, 2006 @ 5:20 pm

Hey Carl!, remember the time you were 35 and without a family, friends, meaningful job or sexual partner, save your right hand? Oh that now. At least you’ve got the exclamation point to get you hard. And congrats on trying to stick it to college kids, like 1) we give a shit what you say and 2) we give a shit what you say. You’re the saddest person in this entire thing. Maybe you should lay down a track. Call it “GUTS” and get Mike O’Malley and Mo on the track. You dumb twat. Go watch Top Gun again and relive that awesome time you jacked off your dog last november. All 3 of us know more about music than you, so go listen to nickelback and get off ours.

BTW, my fake ID is better than your real ID and I’m drunk right now.

You guys are cracking me up. It looks like EVERYONE is taking this pretty seriously, or no one would bother to keep posting even when previous posts are unanswered. Awesome.

Now, F16 and friends are vehemently denying homophobia. They contend that the mere use of the words “homo” and “fag” are innocuous at best, offensive at worst, but in no way indicate homophobia. Or that’s my rough interpretation. And honestly, I have to agree with them. The evidence speaks for itself. Please peruse some of the quotes I’ve taken from their posts:

-“Finally, I don’t know if having a big black man named Taqwon shove his penis inside you qualifies you as an established ‘artist’”

-“If you want to pull your penis out and measure it with those of F16 fine”

~“You think Jay-z and Nas actually gave a shit about their beef? They have sex now.”

~“And I guess this is just a ploy to get you in bed. But beware, of course, as Olmec once said…’J Coz will blow his load early on your temple…guards’”

~“you’re free to go back throwing the bird back up at the camera with one hand while you jack off your Nick Lachey wannabe buddy with the other”

~“Zachary’s metrosexual ass will still be throwing down pink ties and high fives with his ‘manager’”

~”remember the time you were 35 and without a family, friends, meaningful job or sexual partner, save your right hand? Oh that now. At least you’ve got the exclamation point to get you hard.”

~“You dumb twat. Go watch Top Gun again and relive that awesome time you jacked off your dog last november.”

Hello? They’re not homoPHOBIC, they’re homoEROTIC. Okay, that last one’s more bestiality-related, but you get my point, right? Much like the black community took back “the N-word,” women have reclaimed “bitch” and “cunt,” and the rest of the homosexual community has commandeered the word “queer”—F16 and their friends are taking back “homo,” “fag,” and many others. It isn’t hate speech, people! They’re expressing their love for one another through the majesty of song! And they’re trying to include Zachary and his supporters. They’re reaching out to them—flirting, really—by letting them know that they enjoy visualizing them in various sexual positions and activities. It’s sweet and almost tender to witness.

This isn’t Snakes on a Flame War, friends. This is Snakes on a Love Song.

another diss track?

Comment by legit h — April 12, 2006 @ 9:54 pm

to be fair, jody’s song is pretty good. but somehow i just envision snakes on a plane with a rap song, not country-rock.

and even if you think the f16 song is offensive, homophobic or whatever, i’m not thinking their too concerned about losing the gay vote.

because im pretty sure the majority of people that are actually going to be voting for a song for “snakes on a plane” are going to be college aged kids anyways. people that grew up to kenan and kel, and love orange soda.

not that orange soda has anything to do with it.

but i love orange soda

Comment by Carl! — April 13, 2006 @ 11:43 am

Yeah, now that I listen to it, the Geoff song was pretty lame, but it was redeemed by the preponderance of Samuel L. samples. They should have a song on the actual SoaP soundtrack that’s just Sam talking shit about snakes over a menacing beat. Not rapping — that I don’t need — but just talking about how he’s gonna make the snakes regret sticking around past the Mesozoic era or something. Maybe with some Jules/Dave Chappelle/”Yes they deserved to die, and I hope they burn in hell!” style eye-rolling crazy near the end.

Comment by Cammie — April 13, 2006 @ 12:21 pm

Wow. Just listened to Jody’s rendition of soap and… I think that if F16, or any of the other rap songs submitted, do not win, he should definitely win because… I don’t know, it just gives me the ‘Cabin Fever’ feeling.. where the movie starts out normal and nice and cute with some country music in the background… then BLAM shit goes nuts with snakes flyin around and Samuel L. Jackson blasting holes in the walls of an airplane… kids screaming, people bleeding, all with Jody’s song playing in the background. I think it would be hilarious, and utterly fitting for a ridiculous movie such as SOAP.

Comment by Cammie — April 13, 2006 @ 12:28 pm

Uhh…Whoever “Cammie” is, I know that I don’t know you, and you don’t know the people of F16. If you can stop acting as if you know any of us, it would be greatly appreciated. There is no need to go around the internet pretending you know rap groups when you don’t. Knock that shit off.
