Here is what the critics are saying about our new battle rap subject at Amazon:
Austin O. Jones “Consumer-in-Chief”, says:
Whilst Mr. Yglesias should be well-versed on the sordid history of glory-holes and their ilk, I find his grasp of the subject to be disappointing. Add to that his talentless, pedantic “writing”, and you end up with a fairly inexpensive doorstop.
I love thinking about this guy using the Kindle version of MattYmunch’s book as a doorstop. “MAH KINDLE!!!!!!!!!! DOH!”
Mark Frutig writes:
While Matt used many of the words found in more promising works, the order in which they were used was disappointing.
While this is simply wonderful, the meanest part is that Mr. Frutig has seen fit to only write two reviews for books he has not read, Yggie’s and Jerry Sandusky’s. Ouchies.

I’m guessing this guy has no economic training, much less real-life experience, at all. Look elsewhere for this type of advice.
I almost feel like it is too mean to speculate that this is a Breitbarty bull in a broken clock factory, at this or the other right time of day.
DeeDee does not sound convincing- I do wonder if Breitybartos maybe concoct spammagamma in their time away from their spare time writing about MattY:
Same old tired Liberal tropes. I’ve followed this author on the Blogs, and there is not much new here. Just a chance to monetize his opinions, I guess. Buyer beware.
I don’t feel convinced, but I really want to be! Do you also love my newsletter?
Someone named Andrew Bretibart makes us feel sad for MY, and this is quite hard [I bet Brando just thought "that's what she said"]:
Awful, just awful.
The in depth description of anal probes on the space ship the author claims he went through..was too graphic.
T. Spaulding, in an extremely classy move, pushes us all the way into the Yglesias camp, for a mere moment before we destroy him with Battle Rap, with this statement, feeling the title of Matt’s book is too confusing:
Very disappointing. I thought it was titled “The Rent Boy Is Too Damn High: Tales From the Fire Island ER”.
Andrew Breitbart is Here.
I don’t get it! Where is Andrew LiteBriteBart? Is he in your homophobic cliché? Why not gild the lily? Perhaps the title was “Tales from the RNC closet inside the Judy Garland museum in KeyWestCastroSouthEndPTownChelsea”???
Courtesy of Mendacious D, willing this internet happenstance back to life, we relaunch our battle rap at MATTHEW YGLESIAS, may he have eventual solace from AB goons, but no solace from his own pet ard. Now with production values!

Poor MattY. Wishy-washy neoliberals can’t seem to get a break.
This would have been more convincing if you sang it through a bull horn with autotune.
It’s got a beat you can dance to…
I also want to put on a trench coat and a fedora and look for stories in the Naked City.
I think MD did a nice job especially at the end- it seemed to build up nicely. Poor Matt, if he only had the same advantages as a top notch education and freedom to do and think whatever he wanted, and could freely just say anything without any consequences for his career. Maybe it would have worked out for him. Too bad he’s stuck at the canned soup factory for the rest of his life.
Do they have Smores at Yglesias camp, Pinko?

Liner note:
The instrumental clip comes from The Herbaliser (featuring the estimable Jean Grae, formally known as What? What?) and is from a track called “Generals.” Highly unsafe for work in its full glory.
I feel like I could have done slightly more to keep the tempo even, but I wanted to keep the build-up intact. Also, I am sometimes lazy.
hmpf. needs more Bad religionism.
I think MD did a nice job too.
I have nothing to say, I just felt the need for a little math.
Matt Y is like the Pitchfork of pundits, is he not?
They make me feel the same way, but P-fork tries too hard, and MattY tries not hard enough. This might be important.
results are pretty much the same. Total chundermuffinery.
The rent boy line is cute, I thought…
BAM! It’s even more fun when they actually read the book.
I think the math is getting harder.
much harder. mine were both just double digits. FFS PinkO!!@!
LOL thanks fish. that was priceless.
I suppose is cheap enough that you could either buy this book or spend the $4 on a latte and eavesdrop on a table of goateed hipsters for an hour.
That review should be spoken word over a cheesy beat. It was so good.
