The Cleveland Browns and the word “hip” are two things that have never really gone together. Since the team’s unceremonious return in 1999, and through the ensuing 15 years of crippling depression, what is now referred to as First Energy Stadium has featured halftime dog races, no cheerleaders, speakers that sounded like they belonged in an ’85 Chevy, and Betsy Kling telling you that it sure is cold out there. Fun stuff, right?
But with president Alec Schiener at the helm, the Browns are determined to be the last kid picked in kickball no more. With publicly funded renovations, the Browns have revamped their humble abode with giant, awesome scoreboards, new escalators and a real live tongue-swinging mascot named Swagger.
And more entertainment. Cleveland’s own Machine Gun Kelly will be performing at halftime of the Browns home opener against the New Orleans Saints this Sunday. Not only will the rapper be rocking the crowd at halftime, but he’ll also be performing a song he recorded specifically for the Browns, entitled “Rock and Roll (Cleveland Browns Remix)”. They clearly didn’t choose the appropriate song title, which would have been “4-12.”
So if you’ve got tickets to see the Browns take on the Saints this weekend, get ready to see the stadium enter deeper into the 21st century. Check out the song, and the accompanying lyric video, below.

I’m happy to hear a song about the Browns that doesn’t make fun of the team, however incredibly simple the lyrics may be.
MGK is incredibly talented. Maybe he could whip up an actual verse or two before Sunday. 🙂
You can’t polish this turd.
“BROWNS VERSION” Read thoroughly. This is a song from his upcomming album which includes 3 verses. And this “turd” you speak of took his million and a half dollar record deal, flipped it, and is now a major contribution to the city. You may pay taxes but use some of your hard earned money to help rebuild the broken community that is Cleveland. The only turd here is the one name-calling and from your picture, you seem like a grown man with a young daughter. “Judging” someone is a great way to set an example for your little girl. Read the bible a little bit buddy… “TO JUDGE IS TO BE JUDGED!” Before you get your fingers cramped getting all bent out of shape typing so hard you should help that little girl be a better person than YOU! While your name calling, she is in the mirror with her hairbrush rapping MGKs lyrics! So with that being said… LACE UP DADDY!!! ~sincerely~ A turd ass Rapper, DJ and producer from Cleveland with two daughters and a son, 70+ hour a week steel mill job and avid member of the LACE UP movement that MGK started to empower young people to chase thier dreams! Have a nice day good sir! See you in the dawg pound on sunday! -Jimmy MAC-
