DC Video: Fairfax Responds To Arlington Rap
Everybody by now knows about The Arlington Rap (except my friend Rebecca who told me tonight at Happy Hour she never saw it.)
Well it looks like there maybe a Virginia rap battle brewing, local comedian Chris Culosi released today his own Fairfax response to the Arlington Rap.
Culosi raps that, Arlington isn’t the only place that, “has douchebags going to Starbucks to use the free Wi-Fi.” Culosi should note that Starbucks usually charges for their Wi-Fi, in Arlington we go to Panera and Cosi for the free Wi-Fi.
The production values aren’t as crisp as Remy’s original rap, Culosi manages to drop some beats at some more notable places in Fairfax like the Fair Oaks Mall and Fairfax Corner. However I think trying to tie Tyson’s Corner into it’s jurisdiction is a stretch.
I did enjoy the swipe he takes on Fairfax County’s stringent (or lack there of) adherence to the legal drinking age, and the fact Fairfax does have GMU while we have to toil with Marymount (does anybody go there?)
Culosi ends the piece not by visiting all the Starbucks, but by visiting all the Korean restaurants (bulgogi anyone?)
While the video has some funny moments, is it good enough to truly spark a Virginia Rap Battle of Narnia like proportions? I’ll you guys decide:

Well, it all depends on whether you are rapping on Ffx City or County. Cos Tyson’s is in the County, obvs. But TC is so obnoxious, it would deserve its OWN rap — if anyone lived there.
Being someone who lives in Fair Oaks, I thought this was hysterical.
Amy- I agree, TC does deserve it’s own rap.
Spolastre- I’m glad you enjoyed it!
wow. just moved to dc. i think i love it here.
I do too! I’m glad I’m not the only one!
The original Northern VA rap is Berserk in Bizurke from like 5 years ago! No video but it’s a classic. http://berserkinbizurke.com/
Just looked it up- looks interesting, I’d love to see it on YouTube or at least iTunes…
