This guy was at AX as well. He tried to pretend he was press and haggled for free merchandise from artists and vendors. Tried to steal a shirt from my shop.
If I every met him on the street, I will make sure to kick his ass.
Hmm... I actuall think "Ghetto Vader" not to mention the way he carries it out is okay. Not really feeling the song though. But the helmet style is cool.
Guess that's what make me, me and you, you.
P.S. I guess the them rappers were onto something considering how many indie/emo/alterna/electro kids were quick, fast and in a hurry to jump on there style and try an co-op it. I mean you got an indie band called "The Black Kids" and an electro/indie duo called "The Gutter Twins". Kinda makes you think... Damn Kotaku with all this incessant hating ya'll are going to have to start labeling your site.

Ghetto Vader: "Hello, I'd like entrance to your industry only tradeshow." E3 Employee: "Are you with the industry?" GV: "No." E3: "Are you with the Press?" GV: "No." E3: "..." GV: "Look! I have a helmet!" E3: "Our apologies, come right in."
I'm going with YEAH. Dude flew out there, has the stones to wear that outfit and is just having a good time. Get him a cheap ass 40 oz and let the camera's roll.
@FunKrusher: Not saying I don't like rap, but my comment stems from exactly what you are talking about. Everyone took "ghetto" and ran with it, like a horrible trend. Being "ghetto" is nothing to celebrate, as anyone truly from one with any amount of sense will tell you. I too like his helmet, but the song was horrible.
I voted no for two reasons, one is cosplay and the other is the video and rap sucked.
I judge on lyrics, he muffled them to hide his failure of wordsmithry.

Of course, if you left off your "/sarcasm" tag, then I apologize.
