There's just so many types of awesome in this, that I can't even begin to describe it.

On second thought, I should have put this in Off-topic since it's not really about games, but about Jeff rapping hilariously.

Haha, I just watched that. Jeff really is quite the singer. He needs to go on tour soon...

I love Dr. Tracksuit.

(I just want to add that this is a really great thread title)

Dr. Tracksuit is a pretty awesome rap persona.

Why does he keep insisting on singing that awful song? Surely the Rock Band 3 tracklist must have something better to pick.

And Brad can sing the choruses.

I used to always think Jeff's gangsta attitude was for laughs.. but man he really seems into it. O.o....YEYA

@Abyssfull: White kids that were in middle school in the early 90s all have that gangsta attitude buried deep within themselves. Jeff lets it out more often.

I can still rap every single word of "Crossroads" by Bone Thugs n Harmony, and I haven't listened to rap in the last ten years. That shit had soul and stuck said soul to yours.

@Brodehouse: Yeah did you watch the Live show this week? When did Brad become an actual good singer?

Harmonix should give Dr. Tracksuit a thanks in the credits for one of their upcoming games. He needs his own page.

To see Dr. Tracksuit appear on the credits of a Harmonix game would be amazing.

@louiedog: And maybe some Rock Band Network songs...

It might just be my opinion, but I think the video is better in this one:

@pat4327: He seems to have that naturally melodic voice. If he put his mind to it, he probably wouldn't have to work THAT hard to become an incredible singer.
