It's Very Stimulating

by Mike DaRonco MC Paul Barman is the epitome of white-boy rap. Featuring his questionable rhyming skills and nasally vocals, It's Very Strange is meant to be taken in a very tongue-and-cheek manner. Unfortunately, Barman's joke of parodied white-bread hip-hop is about as funny as his physical appearance (which bears a frightening resemblance to the comedian Carrot Top). Even with his personal rants of low self-esteem and high-school trauma, Barman completely oversteps the fine line between humor and embarrassment. Even the introduction that's provided by Prince Paul fails to save this sinking punch line.
