Dis Raps For Hire

I am a reader, and a movie collector/watcher, and to a lesser extent a fan of YouTube, with what it has now, Black Nerd Comedy, Epic Rap Battles of History, Death Battle to name a few, and I have or will cover most of these at some point or another but today I am here about Dis Raps For Hire.

The idea is fairly simple, EpicLLOYD is one half of the main duo who works on Epic Rap Battles of History. He also does several things over on his channel. Epic Lloyds Youtube but the one I enjoy the most of  his is Dis Raps.  He gets tweets or letters or Facebook posts about some shitty stuff or crappy behavior and just unloads on the people who treated the other person wrong. So far its only 2 seasons and its VERY inconsistant with long breaks just between episodes.

Starting towards the end of Season one and most of season two he has tried to give it some twists, keep it fresh, guests such as a member of the Wu Tang Clan and fellow Youtuber  Zach to help out in one of the dis raps.

He covers a wide range of topics from a whole school with piss poor attitudes to a rich kid whose money and daddy keep him out of trouble, even when he buys a girl away from a fellow classmate.  Even more serious topics like a women who cheated on her man while he was overseas fighting and took their kid and left to a guy really trying to get his life on track and a shitty landlord.

Some are of course better then others but overall they are all at least fun. Seeing people who did crappy things to others getting some comeuppance is always nice.

Here are a few of my favorites for Season One:

"EpicLloyd, I was a combat medic during the Iraq war. I married my highschool sweetheart before I deployed. While I was gone, she moved a fat dude with no job and a kid into my house with her while I unwittingly financially supported both of them. I actually found out about it from her sister when Jennifer (my ex wife) stole several thousand dollars from my bank account and disappeared. She ended up showing up at her family's house with this guy for Thanksgiving."

"Hi Mr Lloyd

My name is Simon, I live in the UK and work for a large
international bank. Thats my background.

This is - my bro, Jim (James), hasn't had a job for like 10 years.
Ever since he quit his job he's been leeching off of me. Rent,
taxes, bills - you name it. He doesn't even try to find a job or
claim job seekers allowance or any benefits.

If it were anyone else they would have got kicked out long ago,
but alas he's my twin brother with nowhere else to go. So it's
hard for me.

I'm not on massive wages, really quite the opposite. I barely
scrape by yet he doesn't give a shit and if I moan, we fight.

I'm that depressed - diss the fuck out of him, hopefully he'll
change his ways.

Cheers dude. I'm a huge fan."

"Dear EPIC LLOYD

Every day for the last two years of my high school life ive had to put up with
Three guys (Tyrance, William, Reshad) making fun of the way I walk because
i Have to wear leg braces. They are all 19 have screwed up teeth with braces.
Tyrance still sleeps with his older sister bc he's afraid. Reshad claims he shaves his head but he's bald. As for Will. He'll cry when he gets a paper cut
And claim hes the greatest rapper that ever lived. He sucks...... Please LLyod
Help me out.

No copy of the letter in this one, though they are all in the video. The basic idea is this guy has gone to rehab, gotten clean, found a job, a place to live and gotten his daughter back, worked through alot of stuff and his landlord does not like him and/or his lifestyle. She wants to kick him out.

There are 10 episodes to season one, the last one is a twist on the whole Dis raps.

SEASON TWO:

This season so far only has four episodes. I enjoy 2, 3, and 4.

"hey epic lloyd,

man i just cant. my little cousin derik has had 3 best friends he made in 6h grade till now. they have all been best friends (Derik, Sammy, Jason and Ramone). Derik just told his three best friends that he was gay. when he did sammy was totally cool with it and was happy to know that he was comfortable telling her. Jason and Ramone pushed him and called him faggot and buttlover. 2 of his best friends are now his biggest bullies and it sucks!

please epic lloyd destroy these guys!"
Nick Diforte

This one, while I enjoy it just pisses me off EVERYTIME, I know this stuff happens but man its pissy and shallow.

Dear EpicLloyd,

My name is Jonas, I have these 4 guys in my class (nelson, mark, steven and lucas) who are the worst freaking bullies man. They like to pick on me for being Dislexic.
They force me to read these ungodly large words that they now i can't say just to mock me and if i don't read them they beat me up or stuff me into lockers. I tried talking to them to make them stop but they ended up breaking my wrist. I tried everything to get them off my back. I just want to feel like at least someone cares. Please destroy
them!

 Dear Lloyd,

I would love to see you dis this guy who started messaging me online maybe a year ago. He has the exact same name as I do, and without introduction came out saying, "U fukin pussy u make my name look bad". And I have no idea who this guy is, but he sure thinks he's cool taking fake gangster pictures of himself in the bathroom. He called me pussy lips, a bitch and even congratulated me for being "twat of the week", how nice of him. Please show this wannabe cyber bully to step off."

- EthanAlways

He does several others throughout. Its fun seeing him take on several different kinds of insults and disses.  You can buy all the songs on ITUNES.

Pinballz

 

8940 Research Blvd, Suite 100

There are many, MANY places and things to do in Austin, Texas. Today I am talking about one right before Burnett road off 183 north, right after in a u-turn on 183 south. It has some old video games such as Popeye and BattleToads but mostly old and newer Pinball machines. You can play them and in most cases even buy them to own in your very own home. See what else they have to offer

It also has games you can win tickets on to trade in for prizes of course.  Playing many of the old pinball games is the true fun, for me anyway. Its a good time, doesn't cost too much and is a fun way to kill some time. I wish I owned a pinball machine, some of them are not overly pricey but still out of my range at this time.

They have Doctor Who(new and old) T2, Jurassic Park, and some

really old pinball games from what look to be the 1970's. They do have a few modern games as well but overall the name of the place is Pinballz and that's what you get when you go.

They have Simpsons, , Many old school ones, Twilight Zone, Both classic and Next Gen Star Trek, Street Fighter, Gimmick pinball machines and many MANY others. 

They also have a Time Warp Wednesday and Pinballz after Dark, 18 and up Friday and Saturday nights. So check them out, they do have a cafe, Nikki's Replay Cafe to grab a bite to eat if your there for awhile. Oh plus Zoltor, so be careful what you wish for....Give them a call 512-420-8458

Austin Based Indie Wrestling

Austin has lots to do, museums, bars, clubs, The Capitol, many restaurants and lots of other things which I have talked about before. Today I am going to talk about something I discovered back in 2009. If your a fan of wrestling be it WWE, TNA, WCW, ECW or a local show you have seen once or twice.

In Austin, there are three main ones that put on shows. TCW, ACW, and Inspire Pro. I bring these up now as a new year is about to start and January is usually a big month for the companies. So I will be briefly talking about all three with links to a blog that will talk about the shows more in depth.

Anarchy Championship Wrestling has their big show Guilty by Association 8 on January 19th, 2014. Anarchy has been in a war the last few months and most of it has been building up to this, there will be cages, Double Jeopardy matches, Grudge matches with titles on the line as well as respect. All this plus more in the ongoing war. Plus you help support local business. In this case both Anarchy Championship Wrestling and The Mohawk bar. The show is at Mohawks which is at 912 Red River, Phone number 512-587-2369. They are one of the longest running Indie shows in Austin and have been in many other cities including Live Oak and have expanded to St. Louis.  This is both a good starting point or a way to pick up back if you have not been able to make it. This is their Wrestlemania and they really go all out for it.  For more info go here: http://pureanarchy-hmmadness.blogspot.com/2013/12/why-you-should-go-to-acw-guilty-by.html 

TCW is also a local Austin company that will I believe be running a show in January, they had some trouble awhile back and are really trying to get back on their feet. You can find them on Twitter and Facebook to keep up with when they show may be, I sadly have very little info as of yet as they don't have a set down but keep your eyes peeled. It is run by Mr. B a wrestler himself.

Inspire Pro Wrestling, has taken quite a big of a break. They burst on the scene only this year and have so far exceeded expectations by everyone that has gone to see them. For a new promotion they are doing excellent and slowly building up their divisions and stars. The FIRST EVER Inspire champ will be crowned at the January event and they have an excellent tag team division already that is growing in leaps and bounds. They are also having their first woman's match in January so their are so many reasons to go. This is a fairly new company so you can still get in on the...lets say 2nd floor? The guys behind the scenes know their stuff and only want to put on the best show they can from Joshua and Max to Biss and Eamon they all work their butts off as do the wrestlers and many others I didn't mention here. It is showcased in the Marchesa Hall and Theater and is called The Ecstacy of Gold.  Check out more here:http://pureanarchy-hmmadness.blogspot.com/2013/12/why-you-should-go-to-inspire-pro.html 

All three shows should be great and if you have never seen indie wrestling before, make 2014 the year you do. I have seen LONG time WWE/TNA/WCW fans fall in love with it and even seen a person or two who have NEVER watched a day of wrestling in their life enjoy BOTH Anarchy and Inspire. Trust me, 98 percent of the people I have seen come once have returned. Its fun, its friendly, and its a great time. You will enjoy the matches, the fans are for the most part all great and kickass people who you will grow to love and consider family even.

Just go, trust me.

HEY! You Should Check This Out! Video Hate Squad!

This is shown at the Alamo Ritz once a month showing that VHS(the form, not that the movie) will never die.  This shows VHS only masterpieces each month and its only a dollar.

It has shown such films as Deadly Pray

Elves!

Crime Killer

Fallen Angel

Last but not least...

Turkish Star Wars

Its a fun time watching classic films that have not yet seen the light of the DVD/Blu Ray generation that has brought almost all movies into the new formats and some look great. But sometimes you just have to see a movie the way it was meant to be seen.

Join in each month, or at least on the months where the movie appeals to you. Its only a buck to get in, hard to beat that.
