Rapper gives ‘shout–out’ to ‘Jeremy Clarkson’

It’s fair to say Jeremy’s not much of a hip-hop fan. So it’s rather a shame he’s not in the office at the moment and we can’t ask him what he thinks of the latest 45 by Lupe Fiasco.

The popular Chicago-based rapper – also owner of the ‘Righteous Kung Fu’ clothing line – has released a jauntily modern number titled Stereo Sun. It doesn’t feature a single guitar, and at 0:59 in the above video gives what is known as a ‘shout-out’ to our Jezza.

This isn’t, of course, the first time the world of Jeremy has been wedded to the world of hip-hop. There’s also this famous Jeremy Clarkson Beatbox, which now has had almost one million views:

But we do think this is the first time Top Gear has been featured on an actual chart-topping platter that matters. Unless you know different, TopGear.commers?

Honestely his comments are made simply for th entertainment of the viewers. From what I have seen he seems to thrive on controversy. I used to by annoyed at some of is comments when I first started watching it. But when he blasts a car (regardless of make) I think its done in a serious light. If you notice when he is bashing a nationality, he is basing it on the typical stereo type.

He uses it to get his point across. Because it makes it funny.

And think about this, if he really hated Americans, do you think ANY would appear on the show?

most American’s don’t give a crap about clarkson’s bashing.
At first I was miffed but then I realised that he bashed everyone, and I’m good with that. Besides we know he is just jealous of us any way. Besides if Clarkson gets out of line we’ll just remind him that he owes all to paddington bear, I’m supprised Hammy hasn’t burned him with that.
oh btw feel free to insult my grammar as I don’t care.

Personally I think JC is one of the funniest TV hosts alive.
As for his ‘America bashing’ for the most part we ARE fat and our cars ARE horrible. Oh and being from Wisconsin I can say this first hand: We also eat too much cheese.
Anyway I hope all the folks at Top Gear keep being funny and ripping on everyone in sight.

Hey, why not? JC will be unforgettable in his garb(polo shirt, bluetooth, etc.) driving the perfection of Yuppiedom, the BMW. Ha, Ha, Ha.. He deserves a shout-out as do the entire crew for making the most interesting, if not intelligent in some fashion, TV show in America today.
Listen, a Special shout-out to one of your behind-the-scenes Top folks: I was abroad recently, although now I am a lady, and happened to meet up with a chap and his friend who revealed to me who he was after my exclamation of love of Top Gear. Hey, hope your birthday on April 16th was a royal smashing success. Remember, your lady friend had us exchange birthday kisses, Abraxas in the background while you two sipped coffee and the lively exchange we had about cars natch.
Did you two go bicycling that weekend, the weather was lovely. I still say you should give it a go. And you thought I wouldn’t remember the incident…

Jeremy Clarkson hates American cars for the same reason he likes European ones: Ford.

American Fords are crap. F-series pickups, Taurus, Focus, Windstar. Just bloody awful. Oh, and the entire Lincoln line.

European Fords are brilliant. Focus (Yes, they’re made differently because Europeans expect more from their family car (that americans think is compact), Fiesta (that is just as european here as it is there because they’re exported to the US, which is stupid), and you didn’t get the Taurus in any way.

You would think Yanks would realise that everybody else hates them, but for some reason they just don’t get it. They also seem surprised when someone says something bad about them. It’s perplexing!

Dear Top Gear,
I’ve watched hundreds of Top Gear episodes & I’ve seen you guys in almost every corner of the earth except in mine….I’m from a beautiful but tiny island in the caribbean called Grenada. It would be a blessing & nothing short of a miracle for me to have my picture taken with Jeremy, Richard & James & watch as you guys do an episode in my country…..

Hey now guys no need to get all argumentative over something this pointless, I am also an american but I personally think the show is hilarious. He may bash certian cultures and countrys, Especially america but look around half the things he says are true. Most americans are extremly fat, mostly because you can by 2 cheeseburgers for the price of 1 apple, there are parts of america where you can get shot and killed for no aperant reason and finally most americans are dumb, we live in a society were people are allowed to voice there own scepticism and opinions, which can be good if its benificial to someone but mostly there opinions are referring to racism, antisemitism and even as far as bigfoot and roswell lol so see i understand that people want to defend there country at all times but come on guys just look around.. lol I ive never been to any of thies other places so i cant justify the reasons for bashing but im sure there is some..

I don’t think Jeremy Clarkson hates America at all. I find his ribbing of us just good clean fun. I think Jeremy hater needs to lighten up. He got the ridiculous Prius right, didn’t he?

I’m pretty sure that this is one of the signs of the apocalypse. “And Lo, the seas will boil and skies will burn and the curly-haried one will get a shout out and mad props…”
