Andrew Slater sent in an interesting example of the mocking of rap music. \u00a0The mocking occurs in a re-make of Rebecca Black’s “Friday,” about the excitement of going on out Friday night. \u00a0Black’s low-budget music video went viral, shooting her into stardom, or at least celebrity. \u00a0The song is a standard teeny-bop pop song, complete with rap interlude.<\/p>\n

The re-make, produced by the\u00a0Community Christian Church<\/a>, features a so-called “Sadie Black” singing about “Sunday” instead of Friday, and extolling the pleasures of worship. Slater noticed, however, that the entire re-make is more-or-less truthful to the original, except for the rap section. In the re-make, “BP” and “Master E” appear to make fun of rappers. \u00a0It’s a very different effect when compared to the straightforward mimickry of Sadie B.<\/p>\n
