As soon as I saw the phrase "this strangely alluring picture of Lyra" on Equestria Daily I decided this was something I was just gonna talk to my friends about.
Update on the rap-metal remix, it is now classic/late 80s rock with rap.

There's a ton of gags that are clearly aimed at the parents of the kids watching more than the kids themselves--they live in "Equestria," there's a tree named "[url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Bloomberg]Bloomberg[/url]," they have a [url=http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110319014432/mlp/images/thumb/d/d0/Photo_Finish.png/258px-Photo_Finish.png]pony version[/url] of [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anna_Wintour]Anna Wintour[/url], there's an owl named [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aloysius]Owloysius[/url], etc etc. It doesn't make any effort to downplay how ridiculous and surreal a society of ponies is either, and there's a ton of weird-as-shit stuff that comes out of it--horses sleeping in beds, applauding by stomping their hooves on the ground, pouring drinks by holding bottles in their mouths, etc. It's not as weird as Adventure Time, but it's up there. There's a scene where a pony sits in a hot tub too long and gets pruney hooves. There's an episode where a pony has a total mental breakdown because nobody comes to her party, and it's a liiittle more fucked up than you'd expect. -All the main characters are really likable. With most cartoons there's usually an annoying character or two where you're like "oh great not [xxxx] again" but all the ponies are pretty funny (unless you have no soul). The more episodes I watched the harder it was to pick a favorite character, they all own. -The show [i]really[/i] loves to subvert your expectations. For example the main character, Twilight Sparkle, is usually portrayed as the Sensible One, and the other ponies come to her for advice pretty frequently. Except a lot of the time she gives really horrible advice that just ruins everything. There's an episode where two groups are about to go to war, and one of the ponies shows up at the last minute and sings a song about sharing. But everyone hates the song and they fight anyway. Stuff like that. -Lastly, this is more of a reason for me to like the idea of the show than to watch it per se, but from a feminist viewpoint it's great. The six pony characters run the gamut from hella tomboyish to hella fem, and they're all diversely strong characters--athletes, scholars, small business owners, etc, whose plot arcs are about THEM and rarely driven by the male characters. And yeah it might seem kind of insignificant in the context of Pony Land but it's teaching little girls that they can be who they want to be and accomplish whatever they set their minds to, and that's a hell of a lot better than most half-assed "for girls" stuff that tells them they should be a princess so that a rich handsome boy will marry them. Or whatever. So politically it's doing a great job as well. Yeah, it can be really saccharine, and there's a lot of hearts and shit on it. That put me off initially, but after a few episodes you sort of gradually get used to it and the positive stuff I just laid out starts to shine through. I'm pretty sure that's why so many people say they got more and more hooked with each episode. I don't think it's the best thing ever, and I wouldn't be heartbroken if it didn't get renewed for another season, but ultimately it's pretty damn smart and subversive for a cartoon based on such a frilly girly franchise like My Little Pony. That's evident in the huge crossover appeal it's had. And I think that's pretty worthy of respect.[/QUOTE]

I do have to say, TH89. It sure did change my view on rap. Maybe it's because of the new stuff being stupid as hell, but damn. I really do hope you make more. I don't care if it's MLP related, but I want more GOOD rap.
