So recently I basically lost a bet with a couple of friends and as a part of losing that bet I had to (of all things) write a rap song and preform it in front of them in an over the top "gangsta" outfit. I decided to embrace it and tried multipule directions but ended up going for a darker take on Sonic, specifecly Sonic & Knuckles. The song included me dubbing over the beat to "Role Model" by Eminem, with my own lyrics detailing Sonic's experience in going through the Hydrocity Zone. I actualy had some fun with it and was told it was really good. I was thinking of maybe recording it, writing 3 or 4 other songs and putting it on iTunes (and maybe even YouTube) for a quick buck, just for fun of course ( Not to confuse me with a victim of The Internet Rapper Disease that is as of the present day rapidly spreading.) Just me having some fun.

However before I even put some more effort in, I would like to know if there's a market for a darker take on Sonic. While obviously the characters change very little (Though they'll likely be human versions of their other selves.) would you guys listen to a Sonic & Knuckles Rap Duo album if it was released?

I would probably make clean versions of all the tracks but the Hydrocity track does feature one part specifecly where after falling in water Sonic begins choking in water and moss causing him to swallow a psilocybin mushroom and go on a breif trip where he imagines himself as a genocidal maniac and even dissess the makers of Sonic Dream Collection and those who hate on SA, SA2 and Shadow the Hedgehog.

It get's about as explicit as Biggie Smalls and Eminem with the most explicit lines being:

---

I won't have to **** ya, if you just give me the paper

You know what I mean, I'm talkin bout the green

You want me to release ya, just give me your visa, kapeasa or I'll **** you up like my name is Sharkeisha

("Sharkeisha No!")

("Oh No I think I hit my Splean!")

I'll bust your ****ing face in until you can't scream

Disintegrating you ****ers like I'm a laser beam

I'm really high up right now but I didn't get there like Cream

-

The rest of this song isn't NEARLY as explicit but if there's not too many people that would even be interested in the concept of a Rap Duo Sonic & Knuckles that rap in that Eminem & Dr. Dre style I think there's little reason to proceed and go through all the trouble of getting premission from UMG, Interscope Records & Aftermath Records to use the beat for the track and then write 3 or 4 more tracks. If enough people are interested in the concept I'll upload a recording of Hydrocity to YouTube so you can hear the song for yourselves.
