George Watsky of San Francisco, CA is like the Energizer Bunny, if the bunny was actually a cheetah... with a great sense of humor. The self-proclaimed Backtalk Champion has long had an underground following in the Bay Area and Boston (where he attended college), but he recently boosted his visibility by being featured on the Ellen Show and CBS News. Why did they all show love you ask? Well watch the video above and figure it out for yourself.
The fact that he can gas in double time is a feat in-and-of-itself, but Watsky is no one trick phony. He is a national poetry slam champion, the front man of jazz/hip-hop crew Invisible Inc, a playwright, director, comedian, author and also perhaps the only person to ever publicly beef with Michael Cera. Why would he beef with Cera you ask? Well maybe because Michael Cera stole Watsky's whole sweet, virginal, dainty and dismissively funny steez. But now that Watsky has moved to LA, Cera doesn't stand a chance. The Backtalk Champ is marauding muthafucka!
If you're impressed (you know you are), peep the music video below. By using old home videos and honest reflections on his life, Watsky proves that he is super comfortable with being himself in whatever field he chooses to beast. If you'd like to see more Watsky, check out 38thnotes's past coverage of the Backtalk Champ HERE and HERE, and cop his album off iTunes.
