This is more the history of our most well known song: The Star Wars Gangsta Rap first appeared on the internet as an audio-only file, produced by Bentframe. The idea for Star Wars Gangsta Rap came about around 1996 when Jason Brannon, who was in college at Indiana University at the time, would sometimes "free style" to beats while doing Star Wars impersonations. Star Wars Gangsta Rap was written by Jason Brannon and Chris Crawford, with vocals by Jason Brannon, drum machine by Chris Crawford / Brian A Leonard and keyboard by Brian A Leonard, Animator Thomas Lee discovered the rap in 2000 and used it as a basis to practice his developing Flash skills. After showing the results to Bentframe, they together formed BentTV. This became the first widely seen version of the video, and remains faithful to the audio version, except for the omission of a single line.
