    Shaunconnery, the madman behind Rapwing Lair (the best multi-hip-hop-style guide to BWL strategy around!) has created a new WoW-flavored raplike object: Overnight Seventy. This is to the tune of "Overnight Celebrity" by Twista, which is presumably something popular with the kids these days. Shaunconnery posted on the Tichondrius forums that he wrote the song for his girlfriend, Lily, who plays a human priest. Lyrics follow after the cut. Personally, I prefer Rapwing Lair just because the idea of someone playing the entire strategy to BWL in a club while everyone dances mindlessly makes me laugh a lot. However, this is a pretty good parody.

    We're going to side with our mates at WoW Insider and enshrine Rapwing Lair as the best World of Warcraft-inspired meme yet. Leeroy, Dives, please move aside for lyricist Shaun Connery. Rapwing Lair is an extensive "rhythmic project," as described by Connery, to detail how one defeats every single boss in Blackwing Lair while mixing disparate styles of hip hop. The song, split into two parts, can be heard via the right column on this page. It's very long, but those who play World of Warcraft (and there's around 8 million of you out there) should not miss this strangely stunning achievement.Head on over to WoW Insider for full lyrics and an explanation of the song from Connery himself.[Image origin]

    On this, the last day before Burning Crusade, I feel the need to share with you the best piece of WoW media I've ever seen. Better than Leeroy Jenkins, better than 50 DKP MINUS, better even than Subudai ... I present Rapwing Lair, done by Shaunconnery of Advent on the Tichondrius server. To listen to the two parts of the song, click the purple buttons next to "Rapwing Lair Part 1" and "Part 2" on the right side of the screen. Shaunconnery's explanation and lyrics follow behind the cut, but you really have to listen to appreciate the true genius of Tichondrius.
