World of Warcraft Rap Says "Get Lich or Die Tryin'"

We may have seen Warcraft [http://www.amazon.com/World-Warcraft-Wrath-Lich-Expansion-Mac/dp/B000VJTJNE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=videogames&qid=1278964549&sr=1-1]'s Lich King's ultimately defeated, but we haven't seen him rock the house with lyrical fury ... until now.

(WARNING: LYRICS ARE NSFW)


Yesterday, we caught a glimpse of the fate of the Lich King Arthas [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/97970-Behold-the-Final-Fall-of-Warcrafts-Lich-King], Warcraft's main bad guy. Today, that fate is ultimately irrelevant, because Lich King or not, the Scourge can bust some white-hot rhymes with the best of them.

Featuring the lyrical talents of James van der Woerd [http://www.convoke.info/], "Get Lich or Die Tryin'" is hilarious nerd rap at its finest. I'm not sure what amuses me more, the (rather clever) lyrics demonstrating a familiarity and affection for all things Warcraft, the visual imagery illustrating their puns, or just the simple idea of the Lich King being auto-tuned a la T-Pain.

The MP3 (and the shirts) are available here [http://www.getlichordietryin.com], and this just goes to prove that though the Lich King may be gone, he'll live on in our hearts like the Boss he is. And in our music collections.

Well that is certainly...intresting, lol. It reminds me kind of the Bayonetta fan rap that was done.

Well, who says Music & Games cant mix in culture!

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

AHAHAHAHA!

It's a pun off of "Get Rich or Die Tryin'!"

AHAHAHAHA!

Seriously, though. That sucked...

Look at my avatar pic.

That is all.

Neato. I don't particularly like rap or this song, however I always enjoy seeing the different ways people show their WoW Geekdom

 

[The Infinite]

Rather...odd. But not a bad effort. I'm still waiting for the next single from TAFKAL80ETC.

 

[Flying Dagger]

Yeah, if you don't have good lyrics, rap really does fall flat on it's face. one for the fans, and only the fans.

 

[Scrythe]

I know this is going to sound racist, and I don't care:

There is a reason why rap was exclusively a "black" thing for years. Whitey should have never whitewashed this. It's sad, pathetic and almost borderline terrorism. First it's Vanilla Ice and Eminem and now we have people running around looking like either the guys from Hatebreed or the emos you had high school with, spouting FruityLoops beats while rapping like T-Pain and all the other talentless hacks out there.

Okay, that was a bit unfair. Eminem can actually write a decent lyric or two [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-TX6o7R8LSg].

I love World of Warcraft and rap. You combined the two and just blew me away.

To quote Randy Jackson:

You did your thang, dog.

(This image pretty much conveys my reaction to the video)

...Seriously? You're trying to make money off this? Good luck with that.

CCP got there first Blizz, and did it far better than this.

HARDEN THE FUCK UP.

 

[Javelk]

That was pretty good.

...this was fanmade, not an official Blizzard thing.

My apologies then, this was pretty good for fan made stuff.

Nice nod to Foreigner there at the beginning. Cold as ice indeed.

"Specced to run the fuck away" CLASSIC.
