Pale Kid Raps Fast

Written by the one and only Horace Leung.

“Oh, hai

I’m that guy

Built so fly in a silk bow tie

Don’t know why I’m built so fly

But I am no lie”

–         George Watsky

What can be a better combination than a FREE dinner and a show by Stockton Entertainment Team? With over fifteen million hits on his video, “Pale Kid Raps Fast”, George Watsky has and performing his poems to colleges all around the United States. Lucky for us, we were able to see him from beyond the videos that he makes. George Watsky is a poet and rapper and his inspiration comes from the frustrations of modern life and politics.

Even though the food was spectacular and could have been the event, having George Watsky recite his poems was just a nice bonus. Of course, he recited “Letter to My 16-Year-Old Self” and sang “Pale Kid Raps Fast,” however, he also recited original poems that have not been posted on YouTube. He brought to light the issues of global warming, heat, and the ambiguity of religion. His poems were insightful, impressive, and straight-out funny.

All in all, it was very interesting to see George Watsky and hear him give his perspective on various issues. He is a talent that should not be ignored. Nonetheless, this event appeals to everyone. If you are a fan of George Watsky to liking free catered dinners when you are running out of meal swipes due to the fact you’ve been over eating at the Campus Center, then these are opportunities here at Stockton for YOU. However, if this event will never happen again, I suggest you watch his videos on Youtube to see what everyone is talking about.
