Last week, hip-hop blogger Jay Smooth jokingly acted like he wanted beef with another blog across town, namely Tiny Lucky Genius AKA the Unicorn's Tear hosted by Chicago's own Jessica Hopper. The result? The world's first "blog Battle" hip-hop track. Listen here and read along below: "I Know Why the Unicorn Cries" (beat courtesy of Vast Aire's "Look Mom No Hands", additional samples added by Jay Smooth in Cool Edit Pro) PRIMO-STYLE COLLAGE INTRO FIRST VERSE, STARTING WITH OBLIGATORY BIGGIE REFERENCE: first things first, Ms. Hopper: ha ha, you're funny amusing - but your emo ego is due for bruising tonight cuz we're never losing a fight we keep it tight, featured site up at movable type I fill suckaz all over the blogosphere with dread walk mean streets these geeks fear to tread but every now and then I hear footsteps behind me another small timer like yourself getting grimy tiny.abstract about to catch a clapback next time you post about me, watch your trackback cuz I'm about to ping you with the real when a unicorn cries tell me how does it feel?
