Juice Rap News is an internet based satirical news show, created in Melbourne, Australia. The show is the creation of a duo based in Australia and consists of a rapped "news report" with social commentary using comical rap lyrics.[1] As of August 2014, 26 episodes have been produced.[2] The show is known for using satire and rap rhyming to analyse important topics of the day[3] in a humorous, yet philosophical fashion. It is hosted by a fictional news anchor called Robert Foster. Juice Rap News is distributed via YouTube. Some episodes are licensed to the international television news channel Russia Today for rebroadcast.[4]

Nanni and Farrant co-write and produce the series together in home studio in Melbourne Australia. Nanni focuses on content (crafting the arguments, narrative and perspectives depicted and explored in the show); while Farrant focuses on form (giving the dialogue the "rhyme and flow" of rap and performing the vocals of most of the characters).[5] Farrant portrays the anchor Robert Foster and a host of other characters including regulars, General Baxter and Terrence Moonseed. Nanni occasionally also appears in the show, portraying supporting characters such as Aussie correspondent Ken Oathcarn, MSMBS host Brian Washington, PR host Ivan Sakamunev, Bill de Berg and George Torwell. The show has hosted a number of cameos with notable political figures, including Julian Assange, Noam Chomsky, Sage Francis, Abby Martin, Kristinn Hrafnsson, Norman Finkelstein and Palestinian rap group [DAM]. The goal is to provide an alternative view on world events, one that they feel is currently lacking in the popular media outlets.[6][7]

Recurring Fictional Characters

Robert Foster

Robert Foster, performed by Hugo Farrant is the Anchor and central character of Rap News.

General Baxter

Darth H. Baxter, also performed by Hugo Farrant, is a caricature representing the Military Industrial Complex. When war is in the news, General Baxter is called upon to give the point of view of war-mongering, colonialist governance. Baxter often changes his uniform to represent the topic.

Terrence Moonseed

Terrence Moonseed, again - performed by Hugo Farrant, is the caricature of the resident mad pseudo-scientist that often counterpoints General Baxter with the new age spirituality and conspiracy theories.

Ken Oathcarn

Ken Oathcarn, portrayed by Giordano Nanni, is an Australian hick stereotype and correspondent for Rap News who appears when Rap News handles Australian-centric topics. In July 2013, Ken Oathcarn visited Julian Assange in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London to give Assange a "makeover" for his campaign for senate in Australia.

Brian Washington

Fictional news reporter for MSMBS, portraying the mainstream American news reporter in a satirical manner.

William De Berg

William De Berg is a shady business-man who takes advantage of the situation to capitalise.

Cameo Appearances

Julian Assange

Julian Assange appeared[8] in Rap News Number 5 only a few weeks before the "Cablegate" story broke in December 2010. Later, in Episode 20, Assange gets a "makeover" by Ken Oathcarn, donning a mullet wig, singing John Farnham's "You're the voice"" recorded in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London.

Noam Chomsky

Linguist and philosopher Noam Chomsky appeared in Rap News 10.[a][9] Chomsky's segment was recorded whilst he was visting Australia to collect the 2011 City of Sydney Peace Prize.[10][11]

Kristinn Hrafnsson

Investigative Journalist Wikileaks spokesman Kristinn Hrafnsson appeared in Rap News 13 (A News Hope) to defend Wikileaks in the context of Newscorp's phone hacking scandal.

Sage Francis

Hip-hop artist Sage Francis appeared in Rap News 21.[12]

Abby Martin

RT America presenter and journalist Abby Martin appeared in Rap News 23, criticizing military intervention in Crimea.[13]

Controversies

Rap News 20 caused controversy when it was released during the 2013 Australian Federal Election. Most of the controversy surrounded Julian Assange's appearance in the episode. The character Ken Oathcarn (played by Nanni) convinces Assange that if he is to be successful in his election bid for a Senate seat, he is in need of a make-over. Assange dons a flannel shirt, a blonde mullet wig and a fake Australian flag tattoo, and proceeds to sing a parody of John Farnham’s “You’re The Voice.” The video went viral soon after being posted online. It also featured on The Chaser's 2013 Federal Election coverage[14] and Ten's The Project.[15]

The offending scene was filmed in London's Ecuadorian Embassy where Assange has remained since seeking political asylum on 19 June 2012, which he was granted in August 2012.[16] After Rap News went viral, Assange was publicly chastised for his appearance in the video by Ecuadorian President Rafael Correa, who said,

"We have sent him a letter: he can campaign politically, but without making fun of Australian politicians. We are not going to allow that. The rules of asylum in principle forbid meddling in the politics of the country that grants asylum. But as a matter of courtesy we are not going to bar Julian Assange from exercising his right to be a candidate. Just so long as he doesn't make fun of Australian politicians or people."[17]

This was the first public indication of any friction between Assange and his Ecuadorian hosts.

Furthermore, many major media outlets failed to recognise Rap News 20 as satire, calling it a “campaign video,” in what Farrant and Nanni described as “true to form.”[18]

In an interview with ABC Radio, the duo addressed the controversy and confusion, saying,

"In the world of the internet parody culture, what we’re doing is accepted and most people and most of the comments on the video and on Twitter and Facebook are overwhelmingly positive. It’s no surprise that once things are taken out of context and brought into the world, of, you know, the considerably more sober world of the mainstream media, these out of context quotes can be portrayed as offensive…We don’t really engage with that audience. Our audience is on the internet. We really pride ourselves on making an internet show and we’re trying to get people away from the more conventional, centralised, one-way media model, such as, basically, the traditional media. We love the fact that people can watch the video, post comments, we reply to comments, it’s a two way dialogue, it’s a totally different culture".[18]

On 14 September 2013, Farrant and Nanni notified viewers that a copyright claim had been filled against the video for the parodic use of Farnham's "You're the Voice", despite protection for parody and satire under Part III: 41A and Part IV: 103AA of the Australian Copyright Act.[19] On 26 October 2013, the duo uploaded a version without the parody, as an agreement with copyright holders had not been reached.[20]

Relationship with Russia Today

Five episodes from the first season of Rap News were licensed to be distributed by Russia Today via their website[21] and YouTube channel.

In January 2014 the producers of Rap News confirmed ten episodes from Season 2 would be licensed to Russia Today for broadcast on both RT's television and YouTube channels.[4]

A brief excerpt about Bitcoin from Rap News 21 (The News) featured in episode 555 of The Keiser Report,[22] a financial program presented by Max Keiser and Stacy Herbert which is broadcast on RT America.

Reception

As of May 2014, the YouTube channel hosting Rap News has received more than 10 million total video views; additionally the channel has over 70,000 subscribers.[23]

Rap News has been warmly received by organisations that advocate whistle-blowing including Wikileaks and The Kindle Project.[24]

The Rap News videos - either individually, or as a whole series have been featured on a large number of esoteric and fringe-view websites. (Examples:[25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32])

Rap News 5 (The War on Journalism)

Rap News 5 was 'video of the week' on an edition of Al-Jazeera's The Listening Post, which aired on the 27th of November 2010. A heavily edited version of RN5 (lasting just over 60 seconds) played out the episode.[33]

Rap News 15 (Big Brother is WWWatching You)

In a very brief article, Michael Kelly of Business Insider wrote about Rap News, saying "This Australian website calls out the immense rise in US domestic surveillance" and went on to describe the Rap News 15 segment as "informative and entertaining".[34]

Rap News 15 also came to the attention of American cryptographer and security expert Bruce Schneier, who posted a link to the video on his website, accompanied with text simply stating: "wow".[35]

Rap News 19 (Whistleblower)

Australian Senator Scott Ludlam quoted verbatim a small excerpt from Rap News 19 to conclude a speech he was making in the Australian Senate regarding whistle-blowers. The exact portion he quoted was "Whistleblowers; they leak in the public interest. Now what remains to be known is - is the public interested? If so, this might be a good day to exhibit it! Ignorance is a choice, in the age of the internet."[36]

Rap News 20 (A Game of Polls)

See controversies.

Rap News 22 (The Energy Crisis)

Zachary Shahan of TreeHugger and CleanTechnica wrote two brief reviews of Rap News 22 in which he claimed to have "really enjoyed it and thought it was quite well done" but went on to say "while they are satirizing conspiracy theorists and global warming deniers, they probably reinforce the myths more than dispel them."[37][38]

Rap News 23 (Crimea Media Wars)

Rap News once again made The Listening Post's 'video of the week', with RN23. A two minute extract from the Crimea Media Wars video was aired on the 5th April edition of the program.[39]
