Charleston's Own Hoop Town

"I guess the truth that I told him, must have drove him insane 
.......... The poisoned lyrics make you sick quicker than liquor 
So go blast your gun, I'm gonna be the one who'll be yellin' victory"
- That's just a taste of the new single from Borialis- "Mightier Than The Sword"... Let us know if it's worth it or kick it? And remember the first person to give what movie this single should appear in and a valid reason as to why wins a pair of concert tickets... 

O-Nasty: Caller One, you've reached the Hoop Town, Charleston's very favorite radio show...
Caller One: Hey man, is this DJ O-Nasty? 
O-Nasty: Caller one, if you need to ask, you shouldn't be on. Goodbye.

O-Nasty: Caller two, you there?
Caller Two: Oh my gawd! Oh my gawd! The perfect movie would definitely have to be um like "O" because isn't that movie like totally based off of Shakespeare? or maybe not? but whatevs.. That's totally my movie pick!!!
O-Nasty: And caller two, why would you pick "O"?
Caller Two: Um like totally because,... uh because it's like about how youcantellsomeone,  thatyou'regoing totellthemthetruth,   butliketotally   not tell them the truth,   youknow?   andlike    when youdon'ttellsomeonethe   whole total truth,   youcanlike    t o t a l l y   manipulate   themsothatyoubecome like the master   becausetheytotallythink   thatlikeyou'retotally   helping them, when you're really not!! riight? 
O-Nasty: Uhh, right? well, maybe if I could understand that you would win, but 'you know, I like totally can't riight?' so goodbye.

O-Nasty: Sigh, Caller Three you're on the line...
Caller Three: Hey OOOOOOOOO-NAASSSSSTTTYYY!!! whad up? I would pick Old School! Because that movie rocks and that song rocks, so they both should rock together!
O-Nasty: Congratulations Caller three, you may not have had the best answer or the best movie, but I'm bored with this game... ....




[I've just been thinking about how the music seemed to fit so perfectly with the music, because at first glance, rap music with a seemingly all-white prep-school seems to be an odd pairing, yet the music fit. I feel like the music fits because the lyrics express what is going on perfectly in the scene they are accompanying, and because the connotations associated with rap/ hip hop music help to show that a prep-school is not all fun and games -- it is a socially treacherous arena. Also, the music stands out against the prep-school life just as Oden stands out on the basketball court and in the hallways. And just as I am searching for reasons why it fits so well, Hugo is searching for ways to overthrow the social hierarchy in his life.]
