Only if you thought what Eddie was doing was good just because it was Eddie doing it. When i first listened to his song Jiu-Jitsu, I was really disappointed and thought it was ass. When I watched the video my whole perspective changed and now I kinda like it. It's not my favorite song, but I enjoy it now.
The awfulness Ralek has created is just bad. The Gracies are some of the baddest dudes out there, but they aren't "Gs" by any stretch of the imagination. From the people who are notorious good guys to try to be hard and edgy in a video like this just doesn't make sense. If he had gone for some kind of acoustic guitar around a campfire kind of thing it might have worked, or even rocked to a straight edge theme. But gangsta rap from someone who considers cheeseburges drugs?
