MC Lars - Download This Video!

If you don't know and love MC Lars and his Post Punk Laptop Rap yet, this song is perhaps the best introduction! It is very catchy, highly verbal, smartly political and culturally relevent -- just like MC Lars. "Download This Song" may be the first step towards the successful endgame when the RIAA no longer sues fans for downloading mp3s . The first Lars song I heard was Hurricane Fresh on a website a few years ago. (The lyric "I ripped one track in .mp3, till Lars Ulrich came after me" provided -- at the time -- the best call out of the RIAA's lame crack-down on Napster. It also started my boycott of Metallica.)

Disclosure: MC Lars is represented by Nettwerk Management and his new record The Graduate is distributed through Nettwerk Records. Last summer I connected MC Lars with Robert Greenwald and Lars wrote an original song for a documentary called Wal-Mart: The High Cost of a Low Price. Download his brilliant, incisive take on the issue: Wal-Mart Nation.

Ironically, you can buy MC Lars music at Wal-Mart's mp3 store but don't be a jerkoff. Buy it at iTunes or eMusic
