@justinkeith5439 that was a misunderstanding and why Al started asking the artists directly. Lady Gaga's Born This Way parody was the opposite of the Coolio story.
Chamillionaire liked it. Actual quote from an interview at the time: "He's actually rapping pretty good on it, it's crazy...He's Grammy-nominated, man. He goes platinum. It's really an honor when he does that. I remember when he redid Michael Jackson's 'Bad.' Weird Al is not gonna do a parody of your song if you're not doing it big. You gotta be a big dog."
Ah, I hope you keep on with Weird Al, he’s amazing! He’s been doing this for over 40 years and just gets better and better. Really nice to see you guys appreciate his talent. You should check out some more -Couch Potato = Lose Yourself -Amish Paradise = Gangster Paradise Fat = Bad Eat It = Beat it Hardware Store = It’s an original of Al’s, he’s got Eminem like speed.
Hello, the guy dancing in the background is a childhood entertainer like Michael Jackson/ MJ considered him to be nerdy. Have you two seen spinning hubcaps from the 90s and 2000s?
As far as non-rappers go, Al is one of the best in the biz when it comes to flow. Check out "Tacky" and "Hardware Store" and you'll hear some more kickass spittin.
