:evil: In parenthesis, let me stress the fact clearly.

No matter what the deal, I crave for this dearly.

The so-called love that you find in weddings, are sweeter than idols, do damage like machetes.

Without a doubt, I got da flow, comin at ya live, bring the place alive, every single day I jive!

With the thought, comes my direct actions,

Ask my followers, they'll say it's an addiction!

What's so bad about parodies of rap in particular? Did Sapphire Shores and her eccentric pop-star mannerisms bother you in For Whom the Sweetie Belle Toils?

They're never funny, are usually pretty cringeworthy and almost always out of place. A lot of the times it reeks of the writers trying to understand this "newfangled rap music".

Epic Rap Battles does it pretty good. :pinkieshrug:

Anyway, this might just be a two second costume she wears and that's it. No where in the picture did it say anything about a rap being done.

Community is a work of art.


Personally I'm hoping she does rap. That way, if the episode is bad, it will send the episode into so bad it's good territory.

Oh come on, even if there is a silly scene like that, it certainly won't drag down the rest of the episode. :pinkieshrug:

Tailspin gets it. Given that Pinkie is already wearing a Run DMC hat and a Flava Flav clock, here's what else I'm expecting in the segment:
  • "I'm Pinkie Pie and I'm here to say"
  • Beatboxing
  • Gang signs
  • "Yeah boooooooy"
  • Finishing up by crossing her arms

It's all very "look at me Martha, I'm a rapper! Fo shizzle!"

For best results, expressed in the form of a PSA that tries to "connect" with today's youth by "speaking their language" in order to instill a message about "staying out of gangs" or "eating a balanced breakfast".

I guess I just don't think it's going to be bad. Sure, cartoon characters rapping is almost always dumb, but FiM is self-aware enough to where I'm sure the episode will call Pinkie out on doing it.

Again, where are you all getting the idea that Pinkie is going to be rapping in the episode? It could be a Rarity outfit or something.

Ponies can do gang signs.

Just because The Hub says something doesn't mean it'll actually happen. They could just be taking it out of context and doing that as a silly joke.

Given that Meghan McCarthy didn't count this as a full-fledged song, though, I do not think it will get any exceptional amount of attention.

That one tweet from the Hub is the entire extent of this episode's promotion so far. Now, if they burned both of the preview clips on Pinkie Pie rapping, then I'd be worried.

For Pete's sake, people, Rainbow Dash once used "chillax" unironically and the show survived. Have a little faith that the team knows that ponyrap is ridiculous and will play it accordingly.
