There was a discussion on a post Kermit had on Facebook about the streamers abandoning Destiny 2, because they're worried about making a living on a game diminishing in popularity. I say they have it easy…

Now look at them yo-yo's that's the way you do it
You play the xbox on the twitch.tv
That ain't workin' that's the way you do it
Money for nothin' and tweets for free

Now that ain't workin' that's the way you do it
Lemme tell ya them guys ain't dumb
Maybe get a blister on your little finger
Maybe get a blister on your thumb

We gotta uber some drunk dude's cousin
Custom grubhub deliveries
We gotta brew these hot cappuccinos
We gotta move these 4K TV's

See the little gamer with the headset and the joystick
Yeah buddy that's his own chair
That little gamer got his own web channel
That little gamer he's a millionaire

We gotta uber some drunk dude's cousin
Custom grubhub deliveries
We gotta brew these hot cappuccinos
We gotta move these 4K TV's

I shoulda learned to play crucible
I shoulda learned to shoot them guns
Look at that mama, she bustin on those noobs
Man we could have some fun
And he's up there, what's that? Some whiney noises?
Broman all screaming like a chimpanzee
That ain't workin' that's the way you do it
Get your money for nothin' get your tweets for free

We gotta uber some drunk dude's cousin
Custom grubhub deliveries
We gotta brew these hot cappuccinos
We gotta move these 4K TV's

Now that ain't workin' that's the way you do it

That ain't workin' that's the way you do it
Money for nothin' and your tweets for free
Money for nothin' and tweets for free

I want my twitch.tv…

Unrelated, but my brother and I have a running gag going on where we list a handful of examples for something (usually pertaining to technology), with the last example always being "and that Money For Nothing music video."

Weird how relevant that masterpiece still is...

For the record my comment was: "I think the current 'controversy' about D2 is overblown, BTW. It boils down to youtubers gotta eat."

Well maybe it doesn't. I think it's a generational thing.

From my point of view, I had to read a ton of rap crap to get to the meat of your message and I despise rap crap.

Dire Straits is not rap, right? I mean I guess this is talky-singing.

No rap, dude. Geez. How old ARE you?

Dire Straits is not rap, right? I mean I guess this is talky-singing.

I loved Dire Straits, when they started a 'long' time ago.

I don't easily discern words from songs, so I don't know or know very few words from any song.

What I see from Cody looks like rap crap, even if it isn't. So therefore it is rap crap to me, even if Dire Straits wrote it.

Old old and cranky and for the life of me, I did not recognize those words from Dire Straits.

But, I mean . . . it's not.

It's DEEP.

The animators who did the computer animated music video went on the form Mainframe Entertainment. You might know them from such classics as: Reboot and Beast Wars: Transformers.

Also... totally not rap. :p

Blocked in Canada. This day just gets better and better.

Yup. I’m sad that people who stream video games for a living have the power to drum up the controversy anyway. Hence the song. I am of course consoled by the fact the streamers most definitely do not get chicks for free.

Anyone here know enough about 3D modeling to make something this crappy? I have an idea. Contact me.

Those same streamers and YouTubers that drum up that controversy are some of the same folks that were instrumental in bringing attention to the shit going on in Battlefront II. It goes both ways, and you don't get one without the other.

You are right, but that was about something important and they were right. The people criticizing Des2ny are off the mark in a lot of ways in my opinion.

I don't disagree with that at all.

I just I find it hard to lament the fact that they can stir up controversy about Destiny when they can also do it for worthy causes. Yes, the former happens far more than the latter, but you can remove their ability to talk about dumb shit without also removing their ability to talk about important things, too.

rap crap

You've rewritten this song as a straight-up attempt to be critical of video game streamers, in a complete reversal of the somewhat subtle intention of the original song?

I keed, I keed...

Its so meta isn’t it?

This is all true, but they frame their criticisms in a way such that apply to them in their world of streaming games for a living. That is not helpful. Bungie should not make games for the professional player, because the types of thIngs they want are by and large stupid.
