-He is a Los Angeles indie/hip hop artist...Just saw his first show ever and he played the song on his encore. The show was sold out.People were freaking out.. I've never heard this kind combination before but i thought it was awesome...He has some shows coming up in LA soon.. Maybe he'll pull out some more remix tracks?

  • I guess it is just me, but it sounds like somone is playing rap while I'm trying to listen to The Smiths. I like rap and hip hop, but this sounds like 2 radios playing in the same room.

  • Not bad. After the abomination that was Futureproof "attempting" 'Stop Me....', here's a v. good job of doing something new and different with the music of Moz. I like it.

  • Mixing rap with such a classic Smiths song is ridiculous. This sucks!

  • If anyone wants to hear the best rapper around, check out Tech N9ne (Yeah that's the spelling) from Kansas. Download "The Industry is Punks". He is so fast, yet very clear...and funny!

    And no I'm not him, I'm just always looking for the best rappers that aren't total idiots. Damn... it's hard to find even a few!

  • I like it alot. His other songs are great too. I like intelligent hip hop. It's a breath of fresh air. I would listen to hip hop more if there were more performers out there like him. I know there are a few, but there are hard to come across. Most hip hop is about cursing and misogyny.

  • Rap is someone talking fast over a drum machine. Everything about it is nauseating. Pure horseshit.

  • By complete coincedence, I just recently posted a new illustrated Smiths video I made on you-tube... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1IL0gfbuBRs

    This video is set to that same classic 'This Night Has Opened My Eyes'. Inspired by the very visual lyrical imagery that Morrissey uses in this song (about child abandonment). To avoid the obvious English/Victorian atmosphere, I used an African theme for my drawings: the subject matter however remains the same... Hope you'll enjoy. ;-)

    PS: My other animated videos can be seen here:
    youtube/watch?v=mdYif7TBl64 (The Smiths - Suffer Little Children)
    youtube/watch?v=3Gr5xn5_5J0 (Eels - Rock Hard Times)
    youtube/watch?v=7ENgTEXdx2o (Eels - Flower)
    youtube/watch?v=mTL56eMBK0o (Gorki - Wij Houden Stand)

  • This song rocks!! I really like how they mixed it together. The Rap goes well with the Smith's song it creates a turning point from the Smith's to the Rap.."Save your life.. You've only got one... The rapper is a cool guy! :)
