We’ve got a special guest poster today, Ryan Murray, and he’s here to put his two cents in on Sammy Adams getting a spot on Conan. Follow him on twitter @murrmaidman.

The Autotune Whore Himself

Maybe it was a lapse of sanity, or a producers whim, or a favor for a fellow Boston-area “artist”. Whatever the case, Conan O’Brien, star of TBS’ CONAN, has allowed “rapper” Sam Adams to (hold your breath) grace us with his music on his show January 18th.

We all know Sam Adams isn’t a favorite of the YGM crew, but good lord CONAN, this is prime-time TV. You can’t have some untalented frat rapper parading around stage, rapping into his auto tune about getting shitty with his friends for 50 bars. I Hate College was a great party track two years ago, and Blow Up had me going for about 5 minutes. But come on Sammy, its time to let go of the act.

I encourage you to tune in. See for yourself the difference between the real new-comers; Logic, Childish Gambino, Mac Miller, Chiddy Bang, or even Chris Webby; and Sam. Lyrically there is no comparison, he is trash. He just covers it up with catchy production.

YGM, thank you for allowing me to post, it’s been real.

P.S. Conan… Where’s the love for Don Sheen?

Let me clear some things up, I don’t dislike the rapper personally at all.  I just don’t think he deserves the spotlight with all of these much more talented rappers trying to make it in the game right now.  You can’t tell me Sammy Adams is any different than a large amount of college rappers.    I saw a comment mention how he “invented” electro-rap, if that was the case I invented techno.  Electro-rap is just the act of a rapper dropping lazy bars (in Sammy’s case) over a great EDM production.  As much as I may like the beat, I do not enjoy seeing weak verses spit over some of my favorite tunes.  So, getting back to my main point, I am not just trying to hate on Sammy.  I am just trying to make a point about the music industry’s current place through this guest written post.  Thank you Ryan for writing this post last week when we heard the news about the Conan spot and thank you for your time.   This post will be updated with the video of his performance soon.  Check his TV debut below.
