Cazwell: ‘I Purposefully Wrote A Song For Retards’
—Rapper Cazwell, on his writing process for the ‘mos, which resulted in the uber-catchy “Ice Cream Truck” [via]
And yet both his video and song sucked compared to that Kazaky video queerty put up last week. Some of the boys in Cazwell’s video are definitely fun to look at. But I can only stand that video if it’s on MUTE. Seriously the song and video are cheaply and poorly produced and a 5 year old watching sesame street could have come up with the lyrics which don’t even really rhyme or flow very well. Seriously, “It’s All Over Your Face” is still the best thing Cazwell’s come out with.
The Kazaky video on the other hand was well crafted, sexy as hell, the music was well produced and the lyrics were actually even MORE simple than “Ice Cream Truck” but were still more entertaining.

@alan brickman:
Oh great.. So, can I trust that you won’t go nuts, the next time someone runs around using the word fag, just to prove how oh so radical he is… oh wait, Queerty does that frequently in headlines.. nm.

So… We get all up in arms about people using Gay, etc. yet no one seems to care he used the word “retard”? I think it is horrendous how easily gay people use this word…
Mr. Brickman, your comment could easily be pulled from any number of articles on kids being bullied for the assumption they are gay.

@ RebelComx…Unfortunately I thumbed up your comment by accident, so I feel I must respond to your post in kind…Cazwell’s ‘Ice Cream Truck’ was the catchiest, yet most ridiculous song to come out this summmer for the gays. It had hot, Latino dancers doing what they are paid to do best – make us hard, happy and smile a smile that makes us think that we are the only one’s in their sights. It was brainless and painless – exactly what ALL of Katy Perry’s, Rihanna’s and any of the other gay anthemist put out this summer (of at any other time). The difference is that it was geared specifically for us – not a gay anthem by product. I like Cazwell. He gets it, and by ‘it’ – I mean ‘us’. We are not too hard to please in terms of catchy, eye candy infused ditties. The last few seconds alone blew Kazaky’s video and song way out the water. I mean really…

Mike D. : If that video by this nasal-chipmunk-voiced cazwell with those okay-but-not-spectacular hispanic guys dressed as “thugs” is what is supposed to get “it” or “us” (meaning gay males) I’m sure relieved I moved out of the gay ghetto before my I.Q. dropped that low.

People need to check their envy levels here. I doubt Cazwell actually meant the mentally-challenged when he used the word “retards”. I think the ‘retards’ he meant are the ones who’s lives are so dull they need to sign on to Queerty to bitch about dumb shite.
btw, I’ve hung out with Cazwell before and he’s a great guy. It takes a lot of humility to deal with the fame NYC can throw at you in order to remain humble and survive. If you’ve ever had a two second conversation with Cazwell you’d know he’s not actually referring to the retarded here.

@JumpingUp: And who do you know that knows him??? I knew Cazwell rather well when I lived in NYC and he’s not some jerk who’s going to be throwing around the word ‘retard’ without talking about dumb ass people.
It’s insane you’re trying to say everyone who knows him yadda, yadda, yadda when I can assure you you do NOT know one single person who’s actually hung out with the guy.

@Idiot: Hey, I understand. I’d be pissed to if I belong to that class of retards. You need to learn exactly what the root of your negative attitude is and I suggest glancing at the mirror to figure out the real problem. I understand completely. You’re a social reject. Deal with it.

@mm: Cazwell has a lot of talent. During my year in NYC his “All Over Your Face” was a great song and there’s nothing better than hearing a song in a NYC club by a NYC artist while that artist is in the room. It gets really old dealing with these tired, bitter queens who can’t stand the thought they’ll never get 30 seconds of the fame Cazwell and others have achieved so they desperately try to bring them down to their level.

McMike : Why is Caswell/cazwell/whatever such a good guy? What was he doing in New York after coming here from that upper crust Jewish suburb of Massachusetts? Charity work? Working on getting guys off of drugs? And this ice cream song IS absolutely, as was mentioned, stolen from that “ice cream and cake” commercial (by the Buckwheat Boyz). But even THIS song isn’t as stupid as that “I saw beyonce at burger king, she bought whatever and onion rings..” Ugh. With that nitwitty voice.

Whoops. Never mind, McMike. During your “year in NYC”? Making a visit here and thinking it’s so thrilling to hear a song while the “artist” is in the room might have been a thrill to you, but it happens all the time in bars in NYC. You’d have to live here to know this, and to really know the feedback about this caswell person.
