Episode 5, G-Chat
Champale
Yes brehs, Episode 5 of Champale, G-Chat Volume 2, is finally here. What has happened in viral internet rap in the last year? How does it all fit together? Does it?
Won’t you join me, Marko, and Bennett as we try to figure it out? I promise at least two minutes of discussion about a man named Alan Pizza.
Champale Episode 5: G-Chat
Joined by the big breh @bennett4senate, this episode of Champale dives headfirst into the rocky terrain of internet rap memetics, in a follow-up to Willy’s 4LOKO-fueled appearance on Bennett’s WMFU show, Awesome New Place. We explore whether production values can conceal developmental disabilities, if the hive mind is at least a little racist, a strange man named Alan Pizza, and the slow but very real convergence of parody rap with rap-rap.
Here is an alternate stream/download. Below, you can find links to the visuals that go along with this amazing aural experience.
