NICK DRAKE!

VS

LOU REED!

BEGIN!

Lou Reed:

You can face me if you want, but it sure won't be easy,

I've inspired everyone from David Bowie to Yeezy.

You're a virgin folk singer, with hipsters for fans,

I'll beat you senseless, then drown you in the nearest River, Man!

You got one droning voice, and an out-of-tune guitar,

Played two chords too many, and you never got far,

See, the English can't write good music, that's what I've found,

So sorry Nick, but you can't compete with the Velvet Underground!

Nick Drake:

You'd think a man who can't sing would be a decent MC,

But your rapping sucks more than that 'Machine Music' LP.

I've inspired generations with my songs of love and mystery,

All life must fade away, but I'll go down in history.

Your poetry and lyrics were never short of pretension,

Until your Day was Done, you were full of contention,

And your drug addiction quickly spiralled out of control!

You Walked On The Wild Side, and it took its toll!

Lou Reed:

'Go down in history'? You've said a load of shit in this fight,

You'll soon be forgotten, but you're going down all right!

Your songs are as boring as the sad man who wrote them,

I'm a rock star, bitch, you're a momma's boy left broken

By your lack of success. You said fame was like a Fruit Tree,

But when records didn't sell, you called it quits and OD'd!

Nick Drake:

Your entire career was one endless trail of rubbish!

Made more trash with Metallica, but you still wouldn't stop it,

'Cause you continued your job 'till your liver couldn't pull through,

It would seem your booze and Heroin had finally caught up to you!

Your sinful life has been laid out, plain for all to see,

Now your win would be as 'shocking' as your adolescent therapy!

WHO WON?

WHO'S NEXT?

YOU DECIDE!
