Coming to Next Year’s Grammys: This HQ-Inspired Rap

Here’s a thing you didn’t know you needed or wanted, probably because nobody needed or wanted it. Somebody used the HQ — everybody’s favorite trivia app — countdown music and remixed it into a rap track. SoundCloud user McHinery — whose real name appears to be Josh W. — uploaded a two-minute track this afternoon inspired by the game. It is … well, you should probably just listen and decide for yourself. It contains bars like “It’ll seem obvious then it hits you in the face, bam, onomatopoeia, if you don’t know it, get good like the players in Space Jam” and “Raining down on my parade of lemonade, got up to question seven. Hey, at least I didn’t get out on the 11.”

For what it’s worth, HQ host Scott Rogowsky has given the track his blessing.
