Ian Bunting: Rapper
Continuing in the theme of Michigan athletes who seem to be musically inclined, future Michigan TE Ian Bunting has released a YouTube rap video (per TomVH).

My first reaction was "Oh no....#DatBull." My second was "this isn't half-bad." The only explicit content is two s-words, and one F-word so I don't think there will be any controversy here. I do wonder if he screened it by the coaches before, or just trusted that it is harmless enough to post.
Peppers&Bunting <-- JDK and Rey <-- David Cone
All they do is talk rhythmically with bass in the background. They don't actually sing like Axl Rose or Billie Joe Armstrong. Really the only reason it's popular is that kids think it makes them tough to hear hood people talk about their life experiences with bitches, hoes, and pot.
"There's a thread about rap on the board? Better tell everyone the music they listen to is garbage, that'll start a good conversation!"
Hold Me David Cone
That's actually much better than I expected it to be when I clicked on it. What is Cone up to now?
engaging in mass consumption, honing, or both.

Coming from the "Long Live Rock" (or "Get Off My Lawn") generation that claims Doo Wop, Buddy, Elvis, Motown, Soul, Surf Music, the British Invasion, the voices of the original Woodstock Nation and The Boss as its own, I’ve never liked much rap and hip hop, but I’ve always respected rap and hip hop as the music of a new generation.
From David Cone to JDK and Rey (Jack Kennedy and Joe Reynolds with Will Hagerup occasionally backing them on guitar) and now with J Reall (Jabrill Peppers) and Ian Bunting – the beat goes on at Fort Schembechler.
As they say, Respect! They’re Michigan Men, fergodsakes!
I feel like Ian and Pat are destined to collaborate very soon.
Getting a bit misty in here...
He should be very proud of the video and himself. I thought it was more than some random college football "dude" trying to rap. He's got some skills, but he needs to get a Coner cameo in the next video.
His signing voice and rapping flow arent bad and are actually pretty good...his writing ability on the other hand is atrocious..
Its cool Ian, lots of musicians have ghost writers...
Hopefully he redshirts, eats all of his meal plan, half of Pip's, and shows up in '15 like Gronk'.
Just win. GO BLUE.
which is definitely a good thing
end up saying this, but I really thought the rapping part was better than the singing part.
Bunting and Peppers put together over the years...
