In a music game where dropping boast after implausible boast is the status quo, what can you do to stand out from the self-aggrandizing pack? Simple: you hate on yourself. It may not be the newest strategy in the book (heck, Eminem basically built his career on a much darker brand of self-deprecation), but Booth newcomer Spose knows that, when delivered with a little wit, self-loathing never stops being funny. The sarcastically titled I’m Awesome finds the Maine native doing double-duty on the mic and behind the boards, serving up a very un-hardcore (but catchy) xylophone/whistle/accordion-driven beat as he gives us a thorough rundown of his faults. There are too many quotables for me to settle on a favorite, but “On my game, I’m only about as sexy as John McCain.” is a representative selection. So, has Spose won you over in spite of himself? Well, then I ‘spose you should mosey on down to your local record store and purchase a copy of his currently-untitled full-length when it drops on June 29.

I sware I've heard this song or something similiar to this?! I'm drwaing a blank though _________ This guy has some balls to make fun of himself with some of the catchiest lyrics...and props to him for doing his own production. I hear some Asher Roth in this man...but there's no way I could catch myself listening to this. But just cause he made some jokes about himself and did the prodcution I won't hate on how "Awesome" he is.

*Waits for people to compare him to Eminem*

Look, Spose clearly doesn't take himself too seriously, so I hope our listeners do not either. His sense of humor is great, the diction is perfecto, and the overall bounce of the track makes for a good listen.

Now, will an entire album full of "I'm Awesome"'s wear out its welcome?

Yeah, this song is pretty funny. Personally, hate to be the odd one out, but I couldn't see myself listening to this... ever again.

I appreciate the fact that he was trying to do something different, however, at the end of the day I could care less about what he is saying. Production seemed kind of out of place and the flute in the background made me wanna blow my @*#$! brains out.

Just being honest. Seems like this guy can carry a track, just wish the song sounded a little more serious.

lol, why did you guys label this as "Pop"?! Does not taking him serious go that far? I expected him to sing.

"If you liked this is because my little sister wrote it" XD

The fact is I'll play this to my friends quicker than a "I'mma kill a nigg@" type of sound. This is funny and smart!

The "childish" sound during the chorus was uncalled for though, geez... ;)

Hahaha this was so funny, @3Roshambo3 I agree he is kinda like Asher and The Lonely Island mixed together. The entire childishness of this track is what makes it "good". My favorite line is "If you like this, it's because my little sister wrote it"

"Swagger of a cripple" <~~ had me dying

What's one man's garbage is another man's treasure. Spose takes what could have been another Fireflies track and uses it to it's full potential. I appreciate the comedic use of the track and the one line zingers. Good call to switch the chorus up the I'm Awesome gets played out easily but the different punchlines keep it live.

Motherfcuker I'm awesome!!!
no you're not dude don't lie
I'm awesome!!!
I'm drivin around in my mom's ride
I'm awesome!!!
a quarter of my life gone by and
I met all my friends online
I'm awesome!!!
I will run away from a brawl
I'm awesome!!!
there's no voice mail nobody called
I'm awesome!!!
I can't afford to buy eight balls
and I talk to myself on my FaceBook wall

[Verse]
You know my pants sag low (low)
even though (though)
that went out of style like ten years ago (go)
Spose, I got the swagger of a cripple
I got little biceps, getting fatter in the middle
and lyrically I'm not the best
physically the opposite of Randy
Moss and yet so preposterous
feel the awesomeness the most obnoxious guest up at the sausage fest
oh yes!!
The girls are repulsed so I hide
in my hood like I'm joining a cult
uh huh
I'm as nervous as my cattle dirty Curtis
all my writtens are bitten and
all my verses are purchased
Me? I'll never date an actress
got to many back zits
plus my whole home aroma is cat piss
every show I do is poorly promoted
and if you like this,
it's cos my little sister wrote it

Check it out
I'm from Maine and I don't hunt nope
and I can't ski
smoke weed but I can't roll blunts
might be with my wifey
my necks not icy
eatin' at McDonalds because Subway is pricey
Uh and my unibrow is plucked
just ask my mom if I could borrow ten bucks
shes like "for what?
blunt wraps and some Heinekens?
You skinny prick, go get a gym membership and vitamins!"
I'm like mom please don't blame it on me
I got my bad habits from
you, dad, and aunt Steve
my attitudes sour but my futon's sweet
and the hair on my a$$ it is Jumanji
suit untailored, ringtone Taylor Swift
can't tweet up on my twitter
cos I haven't done sh!t
blank account red, body ungroomed
the only thing good about me is I'm off stage soon.

Further more I'm cornier than ethanol
cheesier than provolone
I spent years eight to ten living in a motor home
with a ego the size of Tim Duncan
even though I got sh!t for brains like a Blumpkin
I'm 24 serving lobster rolls
because I spent a decade filling
Optimos and I'm not even the bomb in Maine
on my game and only about as sexy as John McCain
now put your hands up if you have nightmares
if you wouldn't man up if there was a fight here
if you got dandruff!!
if you drink light beer
I'm out of breath...

I love the proverbial nerd and if you make a song about how awesome you aren't I can listen to you once and I can't say I will sing this out loud, except for the 'im awesome' part
swagger of a cripple...halarious but so wrong..love the production too..classic forgettable song (in a good way)

Not really feelin' both the production, and the rapper, to me this is just another white college rapper that is trying to get famous, sounds too much similar to Asher Roth.

Really weird production. A lot of satire in this song. It seems more like a joke-song belonging on YouTube not DJ Booth. It's funny and catchy. Gets old extremely fast though.

I like it for what it is: a fun song that made me laugh a few times. This has been getting airplay since February in here in Dallas, so people must not be getting too tired of it.


@x20nickel what do you mean by "joke song"? Yes, this song is satire... it's not MEANT to be taken seriously. Check out Spose's other stuff. He's just having fun.

I'm really feelin' the beat. His style is not quite as hard as "Em" but I like it though. I think he might have a place in the industry b/c he's actually alot different than eminem. I like it. Good Work.

Hahaha, props to this guy for hilarious lyrics, the ridiculously happy beat, and for having the balls to make fun of himself.

But hey, if you can't laugh at yourself from time to time, then your life must be boring? haha

Good for a laugh, I bet he's more awesome than he makes himself out to be.

Banger for creativity!

I love it when unknowns drop tracks that they spit and produce on it.

Haha wow, this song is just...great. I really appreciate a good goofy ass song from time to time and this is definitely up there with some of the best of them. So many hilarious verses on this one, I feel like there are a lot of people out there who can use this as there theme music. Mainly some of the "epic" guys that go to my gym.

I think everyone can relate to some of the goofy verses on here but it really is just non-stop self hating on this track. Wow, Spose you may not have meant to but this is one of those tracks that is going to stick with me for a long long time. This gets four stars just because I needed a good laugh today.
