Re: Smart is Cool (a new FIRST song)

Great song! Kudos to the writer! This song sparked a few questions in my dorm room. With the hundreds of speeches I have done about FIRST, I must say this song gave a backbone to what I say each time. Can't....stop......listening!!!!!!

Re: Smart is Cool (a new FIRST song)

I just have to ask-- when's the music video coming out???

(I can just see the pimped-out robots now...)

But seriously, I think that if there was a music video to this song that people could have in the background or something like that while they were explaining about FIRST... Something with real footage showing what FIRST is like.

If I had any video skills whatsoever I'd volunteer, but that's not the case.

Re: Smart is Cool (a new FIRST song)

I know exactly what you mean by that cross, but the fact of the matter is these "megastars" are still taking time out to do something for what they believe is a cause that merits their time. I wasn't there at that incident with Mandy Moore, but I would like anyone that was to picture it from her perspective. How does it make you feel as a performer when you are on stage, say delivering a speech about FIRST if a bunch of people walked off. Cries about her vocal quality or anything else aside, to borrow a tired phrase, its just not graciously professional to simply walk away when someone is performing and taking time away from their schedule to appear. At least the effort was there.

Just because someone is successful doesn't mean they don't care about it. Its the same thing when you donate to a cause for cancer or for anything else. You may not be the most involved in it, but you wouldn't want your endorsement becoming marginalized based on the operations of the group you supported would you?

Back on topic (sorry I just felt like it needed to be said after having read it many different times) anything like this that gets FIRST's message across a variety of mediums can do nothing but benefit the program. Also I can't believe its a parent on that track . We don't have to have one anthem, but theres nothing to say we can't have 20 different songs that we are known by either!

p.s. I for one, love rap. As most people on my team can attest to. Jurassic 5 anyone?

FIRST is not about splash and artificiality, it's about much more than any song can cover.

Now I'm going off to go listen to The Current....

Re: Smart is Cool (a new FIRST song)

I think it would be really awesome to add to the end right before the song ends: "Calvin Simmons Out"

Re: Smart is Cool (a new FIRST song)

Being a huge hip hop fan, I think beside the subject matter the song is nothing special. I find the combination of a very mainstream sound to it (seems like I heard that beat a few times and a cliche voice/flow) with a very unmainstream subject matter very interesting and almost comical.

Rap isn't 'an African American genre"....

PS: Any Sage Francis, Brother Ali, Soul Position.... fans out there?

Re: Smart is Cool (a new FIRST song)

This is good - FIRST needs stuff like this, badly. Anyone still got a copy of the rap done with Team Hammond last year? That was good too, the video of it wasn't loading on their website last time I checked.

Edit - Nevermind, it loads - http://www.hammond.k12.in.us/TeamHammond/aimhigh.html

Is there an .mp3 version somewhere
