Everyday Normal Guy Rap Song on FunnyOrDie.com

 
Talk about a rap for the rest of us. I could get behind rap if more rappers told it like this…
I’ve checked out some of this guy’s (Jon Lajoie) other music videos and they’re just as clever. If you’re familiar with the now-infamous 2 Girls 1 Cup video (thankfully […]
