Team Innovations new rap video

We are so proud to have a few members on here! In all fairness, the video is done very well, but the lyrics aren't very good.

A Rap Song Does Not Make Your Car Club Super Awesome
Travis Okulski View ProfileTwitterRSS Last night, a new car club in the Pacific Northwest called "Team Innovations" popped up on the internets.

Now, we have nothing against the club itself. These guys look like they love cars, and if they want to express it by putting Lambo doors on a Hyundai Tiburon, be our guest. It might not be our choice, but hey, if that's what they like, who are we to stop them?

But when you have a promo rap music video made for your club, that's where we run into issues. The song, which I guess we'll call, Ride TI, has some truly excellent (sarcasm) lyrics, as we'll examine below:

Whatchu know about Greddy Turbo kits?
Turbonetics?
Seibon Carbon Fiber?
Or Advan Rims (pronounced rhems)?
It's TI mother ****er (pronounced mudda ****a)!
Everybody round here rides TI.
Team Innovations, Team Innovations.

Not only are all of these questions asked with questionable pronunciation, but precisely none of them are actually answered.

So who wrote these sensible and downright wonderous lyrics? I bet you all think it was T.I., cause that would be really clever. But it isn't, it's the work of Northwest rapper Caspa. Yes, like the friendly ghost.

I'd write all the lyrics here, but it's more fun to listen and discover them for yourself.

Ok, one more verse, just for kicks.

I'm talkin' Hondas,
S2K red.
With the Gold Volks on it,
Call it Iron Man

Get it? Cause Iron Man is red and gold.

Also, most of the members are young, tattooed, and kind of terrifying looking. Then there's this guy.

Maybe he's lost? Or maybe he's a member and the club is very inclusionary. If that's the case, good for them!

(Hat Tip to George!)







My kind of car based rap video:

I personally dig it. I'm a big fan of music where the musicians are passionate about the music they are doing or the subject they are writing their music about, regardless if the execution is spot on or not. Its cool to see friends getting together and having some fun instead of trying to act like a bunch of badasses, they are just people and cars afterall.

If there's two different clubs with the same name, it speaks loads about the originality...

Wow, I didnt make it past the fat chicks. I'm debating changing the color of my evo after watching that.

So is the "Team innovations NW" a part of this "team Innovations" group? From what I've seen and know of the NW guys, your nothing like them and much better. I would consider changing my name after this video debut or at least writing it different than them.

They must be the adopted one in the family.
