Surely this video has to be available somewhere without sappy, insipid music?

Because it's worth seeing, but without exposing oneself to Wailing Whitney or the lowest-common-denominator songsmithing of Diane Warren.

The MAIN difference between this and Just 2 Guys is that there is actual flow to the rapping in Just 2 Guys - oh, plus it's actually funny too.

Please, for the love of all that is holy; if you do not have even basic vocal timing, do not attempt to rap. While singing, there are ways to mask bad timing, but when rapping, your lack of rhythm is exposed for all to see.

There seems to be a typo in both headline and text. The product isn't called Sh-t Box, but Shit Box.

Because I'm sure you're well enough into the 21st century to not subscribe to the medieval idea that certain words are evil and should not be written in full? Not to mention that you place the onus of knowing the "dirty" word on the reader, so it's not only silly and stupid, but also rather rude.

That COULD have been good if the dude rapping had a sense of rhythm (a.k.a flow). But it proves that even the fairly limited groove of Will Smith's original is a lot harder to pull off than most people seem to understand.

64 MB? A real mixtape was C-90, neither more nor less, so that stick is at least 30 or so Mb too small.

Missed by whom? People who enjoy the fact that allt the top journalists in the US suck up to the establishment? Please - while I do not applaud or welcome his death, his reputation is built on little but a self-important air of hardnosedness that he rarely if ever lived up to. He was one of the many top journos who abdicated their responsibility in the runup to the Iraq war and one who coddled Bush, a buffooon that by rights should be one of the easiest political figures in the world to catch flat-footed.

As usual, The Editors gets it right:
