Ryan Adams, Freestyle Rap Prodigy

9/27/06, 5:00 pm EST

If we could nominate a website for president, it would be Ryan Adams’ newly updated homepage. Even better than the sweet Tron graphics is the brilliant (and completely batshit) B-boy style rap from Mr. Alt-country himself. Who knew homey was so fixated on Anna Faris and Ancient Sumeria? Oh, and milkshakes and Kevin Costner? Sample lyrics: “If I could get around to my rhyming I could destroy galaxies of alternative-country wannabes with a bottle of whiskey and a wizard and a mime. Until then, dot-com, mutha fucka.” Word to your moms, cousin.

When you go to most artists’ websites you end up at:

www. (artist name) .com / index.html

But, Mr. Adams isn’t like other artists:

this man is some sort of superhero slash freak genius. he continually astonishes me.

Mike/Houston,TX. | 9/27/2006, 9:20 pm EST

You gotta LUV Ryan Adams. WHO does his hair? It’s always fucked up! He’s Mr. Cool himself.

Mike/Houston,TX. | 9/27/2006, 9:24 pm EST

P/S. Ryan Adams has more going on in one of his original songs than most other ‘artists’ have in one their albums.

Jess B. | 9/28/2006, 12:51 am EST

As long as Ryan keeps making such great music, he can be as crazy as he wants to be. He’s like the brilliant mad scientist of alternative country! And he does NC proud. Rock on, Ryan!

Niko | 9/28/2006, 3:03 am EST

“his records are long and sappy/
basically he’s alt-country but crappy”

wow…

Andy | 9/28/2006, 8:30 am EST

Ryan Adams is SO overrated. Almost more OVERrated than Bright Eyes. NONE of his songs are “original”. All he does is recreate his cd collection in the studio.

Yes, Ryan, we’re all impressed by how you can sound like every other artist. When are you going to start sounding like “Ryan Adams”???

Ludusmaximus | 9/28/2006, 10:23 am EST

It’s good…but hard to navigate. So when are we going to get 3 more Ryan Adam’s Albums?

“If I could get around to my rhyming I could destroy galaxies of alternative-country wannabes with a bottle of whiskey and a wizard and a mime. Until then, dot-com, mutha fucka.”

Sorry, but these lyrics are less than junior high. You want good/ridiculous/clever white boy rapping? Check out Jimmy Pop w/Bloodhound Gang.

Conor Oberst has been doing white-boy hip-hop for years under the moniker Team Rigge with a bunch of his Saddle Creek pals.

Mark Christopher Miotto | 9/28/2006, 12:42 pm EST

he is the man

most prolific singer/songwriter for the generation born after 1982 without a doubt

he will be known as our generations bob dylan

i would challenge anyone to name a better lyricist over the past 5 years

Rudy Pilfer | 9/28/2006, 12:51 pm EST

Fucking genius.

Nuff said.

Lobsters | 9/28/2006, 1:18 pm EST

Is this fellow really that good? I made a vow to ignore him just like the vow I made to ignore Morrissey more than twenty years ago. Boy, was that a fuck up. See, the first time I ever heard of Adams was in an article about how brilliant he is in GQ. So you can’t blame me for assuming he was a douche. But if he likes Anna Faris he is my kinda guy.

W.C.B. | 9/28/2006, 2:10 pm EST

I still love that one song he did, maybe he could hip hop up his old hit single “summer of 69″. Kidding. I still don’t know who this Adams is, don’t care much either.

Sae | 9/28/2006, 3:51 pm EST

Hey Andy, that jar of pickles you stuffed up your ass a few months back is REALLY starting to rot and smell.

Matt | 9/28/2006, 5:40 pm EST

So Ryan Adams raps when he’s not trying to be Paul Westerberg. Good to know.

Johnny B | 9/28/2006, 6:42 pm EST

Hes good at what he does but what does it really take to do what he does

Amanda | 9/28/2006, 11:45 pm EST

I love it…
Its way better than anything on 29…

matt | 9/29/2006, 9:28 am EST

j cali, ever heard of jokes? you missed this one. get the stick out of your ass.

Lobsters | 9/29/2006, 1:59 pm EST

“Kevin Bacon, what the fuck?”

Did you see when Kevin Bacon was on “Wil And Grace” and they did all those Jack Benny style jokes about how cheap he is? That was awesome!

fetus | 9/29/2006, 3:38 pm EST

Listen to Rock n Roll and then say that Ryan Adams isn’t good. He does it all from rock to country to folk and he is the best around, fucking period

Love
R.A.

watch the sky | 9/29/2006, 4:28 pm EST

I give my total respect to Ryan based on his understanding (and excellent rap summary) of the fact that we all descended from the ancient Sumarian culture who invented the first cuniform writing 5,000 years before Christ. The Sumarians culture (located at the intersection of the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers or downtown Bagdad for the geographically challenged) believed in Gods called the Nephalim who descended from the Heavens in advanced spacecraft and created us by combining our DNA with Primates, Marine Mammals, Reptiles and their own DNA. Hence, this is why we have the missing link in evolution…the link is the Nephalim. Look it up …you might learn something about what is going on with shit these days.

ishmael | 9/29/2006, 6:57 pm EST

Word up, “watch the sky.” Sumaria’s in the hizzous.

nightowl | 9/29/2006, 11:11 pm EST

HAHA! love it!

ryan Adams | 9/30/2006, 9:50 pm EST

im awesome or something or not. cool.
where arew my socks?

Josh Stewart | 10/1/2006, 10:24 pm EST

Once again, I’m amazed and extremely intrigued. I would be suprised but not stopped dead in my tracks if the track on his website ended up on his next album. My curiousity would probably guide me to listen to it about a thousand times just because it is so far from what I would have expected.
And I thought “Dan Bern” had “Big Balls”.

PDXapproximately | 10/1/2006, 10:50 pm EST

I’m surprised 90% of you turned down the Britney Spears on your iPod long enought to type out your very original insults above.
Ryan Adams is the second-coming!

dodgers | 10/10/2006, 9:22 pm EST

everyone can hate but he’s got more talent than most. and if we are comparing sounds and saying he sucks because he sounds like (insert band names here) then nearly every band in the world past the beatles and the stones suck. you don’t have to like him as a person (I’m not sure I do) but most of his music is pure unadultered genius.

you’ve gotta have a sense of humour – it’s only music after all…

Josh | 10/17/2006, 1:51 pm EST

i’d love to hear what the people that shit on ryan adams music listen to
