It’s not completely awful as I had assumed it would be. I mean the man can’t act for shit, so I wouldn’t have thought he could sing either. Especially in an accent.
No you’re wrong, it’s awful. The lady on the track is carrying the whole tune while Segal kinda just mumbles barely in key. But it’s pretty on point for the Segal brand I suppose.
Calling Jamaican English oder Patois an accent is a tiny bit derogatory, because it is its own language. It has its roots firmly in English, but it’s not just “haha talk funny”.
Not that Steven Seagull would care. Or should have tried to sing in Jamaican English. Or sing at all. Or do anything besides sit in prison forever.
Context: In addition to all the other lies he’s told about his mythology (CIA asset, martial arts trained, whatever), he’s also 120% Jamaican. If you add that up with all his other bogus claims about racial heritage, the man is over 1000% human. So of course he’s able to do almost anything and super cool. Plus he shot a dog on that show where he played law enforcement, which is about the coolest thing anyone’s done.
Me want da punani see for make me nice,
Me love the way you walk sometimes,
The way you talk is so hot,
Now you know let's have a shot of rum,
Then me can make you come
With me to the ocean
That would be phat
You can be my bow cat
Nice ital breeze
Bring you to your knees
We're jammin'
I can never take Jason Statham seriously in his action movies after learning he was a painted up rave dancer in the background of multiple 90s musicvideos.
I don’t think you meant it like this but I couldn’t help reading it in the cadence of “if you’re sliding into first and your pants are gonna burst, diarrhea” lol
Now go have a look at Chet Hanks (the spawn of Tim Hanks) many interviews in a Patois accent.
I don’t even know how I feel about things like this either. On the one hand it’s pretty cringe, but on the other can you imagine growing up with Tom Hanks as your dad, it’s a tough act to follow and it must be hard to find yourself.
I don’t know if being known as a white rapper who is at the most generous interpretation doing cultural appropriation is really doing much of a follow-up to your dad.
I mean I realize that Jaden Smith is a weirdo with no talent, but at least he tried doing what his dad did before everyone made it clear that he shouldn’t.
I realize it’s a fraction of a fraction of a cent we’re talking about, but just on principle, is there a way to listen to this that doesn’t end up in the pool of money that goes to Sagal?
I agree that the girl who is singing is decent, but idk how you could say the song ‘slaps’. It sounds like a kids bop remake of a reggae song or something.
