The Poetic Prophet (aka the SEO Rapper) - Design Coding
Here on the Cracked blog I usually try to post videos with broad appeal, but today is going to be a bit different. Not to diss Poetic Prophet or anything, but there are really only a few specific circumstances where I can fully endorse watching this thing.
If you’re not into hip hop, this video isn’t going to be your cup of tea, but if you’re REALLY into hip hop, you’re probably going to hate it even more.
If you’re trying to teach yourself web design, best to keep moving along; if you’ve read ANYTHING about web design you probably already know all this stuff, and there are lots of websites with more useful information out there only a click away. On the flipside, if you have NO interest in web design, then this is all going to sound very jargony and nerdy to you.
That being said, I guess I would recommend watching this if you KIND OF like hip hop and KIND OF know stuff about web design but aren’t looking to learn anything new. Although that doesn’t really work either, because people who like hip hop even just a little bit would probably think this song sucks. Maybe this video is meant for people who 1) are vaguely aware that something called “hip hop” exists, 2) already know a little bit about web design and search engine optimization but aren’t looking to learn anything new, and 3) like music videos that are filmed in offices.
Actually, you know what? Just don’t watch this video. Seriously - it sucks.

Hi respectable post. I consider these hints might be useful also. Now the respectable pick up lines are the ones that flatter the woman. Straight Off one of the lines might just be in all pleasant fun to help break the ice. That is solid and it can ultimately lead to finishing in make love with her at the end of the night. Heck what man doesn’t want that, but familiar what to articulate and how to pull it off can need a bit of apply. A main pick up line will take you in the door but from there you have to be reassured sufficient to continue the conversation working.

Hi, courteous article, you placed yet if you don’t mind I’d sum few notes about approaches young women or men. Peculiarly it can be hard when it occurs to man woman relationships. The essential affair is your posture, which should be fresh and open. If you have an attitude like that, any soul shouldn’t experience any difficultness that you have speechmaking as presenting. When you offset a conversation, you commonly desire to demand safe queries that are trusted not to cause her any uncomfortableness. Once the conversation makes some momentum, you can require more personalized queries. A good legerdemain is to learn some interrogates she made a point of so whenever the conversation decelerates, you can raise one of these questions.

Is it weird that I thought the rapping was actually decent? The topic wasn’t exactly normal material, and it’s not Tupac or anything, but I thought he was ok. Can I still call myself a rap fan?

It is a nice video and it is worthy to watch twice. I got this idea from my friends on blackcentury.com. Maybe you want to chat with them about this video. It is a niche dating service for blacks and whites.

Nadia, our 65 year old spreadsheet guy is the owner of the company, so no, he’s not been fired.

What color is the sky in your world? Those were some pretty harsh words and close minded statements (”hate it even more”). I’m interested in ‘hip hop’ and I thought the rap was catchy and informative.
April 2nd, 2008 at 3:02 pm
WHOA.
April 2nd, 2008 at 2:46 pm
Well Ross…thanks for showing yourself. I knew out of 85,000 views, someone had to be a “hater”

I stopped watching after he told me not to use tables, (even though they work fine). Does it pick up after that? Does he have a lanky sidekick (Powa’ Poynt?) pop up to drop some guest rhymes? Is there any skeeting involved, or is this strictly spreadsheet-related?

Your company hasn’t forced him into retirement yet? Isn’t that the universal rule of Bureuacracy?

An Excel gangsta rap video would still be pretty cool. It’d be all spreadsheets and bitches, yo! As a matter of fact, I’m gonna suggest that to the guy who does up all our spreadsheets here at work. Granted, he’s a 64 year old qhite guy, but I think he’ll be down with it.

You wouldn’t get much of a series Kingmonkey +1. His area of expertise lies soley with web design and doing Excel spreadsheets.
April 2nd, 2008 at 1:31 pm
Holy shit. I just got schooled and I didn’t even see it coming. I MUST HAVE MORE OF THIS.
April 2nd, 2008 at 12:55 pm
I would like to commission Poetic Prphet to make a whole series of informative videos. Can he teach other subjects besides web design?
April 2nd, 2008 at 12:47 pm
But can you shot web?
April 2nd, 2008 at 11:59 am
I can now design Web! And I think I just got served!
April 2nd, 2008 at 11:25 am
You’re wrong. The videa is great; informative and funky!
