WoW Moviewatch: Druid Anthem

I enjoyed a lot about the video. It had that sense of fun and enjoyment that I look for in World of Warcraft fan videos, and it's definitely rooted in the gameplay of a druid. I'm not sure the vocals really did the trick for me, though. They felt a little slower than the music's implied pace, and repeated the chorus a little too often. However, the lyrics and composition were strong, in my opinion.
Ultimately, it was an enjoyable video. My small critiques of the song are probably because of my limited knowledge of rap music, instead of anything wrong with the video itself.

That was pretty good, although his flow was off at times which made me cringe as I listened. Other than that I enjoyed it. Tweak a few lyrics and this video would be gold.

I'm a druid, and I do not approve this message......

I thought the bragging and posturing was something a real druid would be above! He would just go take a nap in the Dream and contemplate how better to defeat his adversaries and mend his comrades.

All this video does is demonstrate that he has no understanding whatsoever of what being a druid is all about. Just endlessly repeating how awesome he is in battlegrounds and how overpowered he is. Oh yeah, and how night elves are better than tauren.
This video disgusts me.

I am not a duid but it is loveable.

Some of these are quite painful to watch :/

Few spelling mistakes in the subtitles, or is that intentional?

It's not Druid Rap OR Belf Rap.....it's Nelf Rap!

That was horrible.

Wtf does it even mean.. "i'm a druid and i'm never gonna stop"
Stop what? Being a druid? Of course you're not, class-change isn't available yet.
This was so bad...

wow that was terrible...

No, it was terribad. :/

I'm inclined to jump all the way down to horribad.
Repetitive (visually and vocally), missed an entire spec, the subtitles were all over the place (missing words, misspellings, etc.). The only redeeming feature was the ending, specifically that it did end and didn't continue ad infinitum.
If you'll excuse me, I'll be enjoying the *real* druid anthem.

I remember seeing this back in the day and my druid was resto specced (and its quite epic!). There's something to this as you could spam moonfire as quick as you wanted and because your regen was so high you could do it indefinitely.

That was pretty funny seeing nothing but moonfire on his hotkey's, but I like the boomkin video better, that was epic!

"The only redeeming feature was the ending, specifically that it did end and didn't continue ad infinitum."
Wow, you actually made it to the ending. I'm impressed. I could only watch for about a minute or so. I don't find a video that consists entirely of some guy saying "I'm a druid" over and over again to be entertainment.

I really wish there were more non-musician machinima artists.
