I feel like Gym Class Heroes get a bad rap...no pun intended.
They were originally a hip-hop act signed to a punk label, which inevitably gave them an alt-rock fan base. Nonetheless, I think Travis McCoy has some real spit to him. Hate on me if you want.
The band is out to prove they can hang in an urban audience: the band's new single features The-Dream, and the one posted below has Busta Rhymes on a verse (not to mention it was produced by the inescapable Cool and Dre). It might be too late to show how "hip-hop" they think they might be, but I appreciate the effort.
Clearly they are a pop-based band, so GCH will always be a guilty pleasure to most. But if you think your boys Wayne and Kanye aren't pop-based...you're trippin'.
