HTC has posted a new rap video mocking Apple and Samsung. The video features PM Dawn’s Doc G and D 2 tha B.

The song entitled, "Hold the Crown", disses its competitors for allegedly copying HTC and taking 'six years to get what we got in two years'. Both the iPhone and Galaxy S5 are portrayed in the video as failing to perform as well as the HTC One M8.

Take a look below and let us know your thoughts on the video in the comments!

Lyrics:
------
Y'all can't be serious man!
Y'all trying to bite us?
You know what I'm saying?
It took y'all six years to get what we got in two years!

AKAKAKAK

You don't know who we be?
We're HTC and we're about to say it loud!
HTC we hold the crown!
Word to Peter Chou!

Tried to bite our frame, but you'll never steal or take away our name, baby,
look here, and listen.

You're smartphone scared,
Don't want to clash with a Titan,
They saw that M8 debut,
They became enlightened.
Where I'm from, you don't ever get respect for biting.
HTC One M8 is the best,
You are all invited.

Your phone was all glass,
Why you change your tune now?
Your chip is slower,
Plus you'll never touch our BoomSound.
More than a few clowns stole what we originated,
We own the universe, your Galaxy is overrated.
It took you copycats six times to get it right,
My One M8 is far too great, you'll never touch its light

Gorilla Glass 3, Duo Sensor, dual speakers,
HTC is MVP your smartphone's on the bleachers,
Internal battery strong,
But if my power's low,
I stay alive with Extreme Power Saving Mode,

Make like them nerdy bloggers
Put it in your pocket now,
HTC cannot be beat,
Help me say it now!

HTC, HTC,
I say it loud,
HTC, HTC,
You know that we hold the crown,

(x3)

Yeah, HTC,
The greatest smartphone ever created baby,
One M8,
Far too great for y'all competition,
So stop, look and listen,
I say it loud,
We hold the crown,
My word to Peter Chou.

While you guys were making videos about how your HTC is 'better', they were looking for strategies for the better of their companies, but what they never 'stole' from you, as you say they have, is intelligence. HTC stands for H: we need help, T: We are a little bit tight... And C: We are being crushed by Apple and Samsung, a little. Even though Samsung outsold Apple, HTC doesn't hold the crown; they watch others hold it, like Apple. I think the bench is home to HTC and the MVP is Apple.

I think HTC customers would prefer that HTC kept it's Lollipop release promise that expired 2 days ago, instead of releasing music videos.

I see funny n smart comments but HTC is one of the best android device i repeat one of the best android device .

One of the best compared to Samsung but still can't outpace ios. Latest users, sales, ideas.

Ren - February 3, 2015 at 9:41pm

Apple Idea? where? They copy everything! From Apple name to iphone name, lots of features in IOS stolen and/or bought from developer.

Jacob - February 3, 2015 at 9:51pm

I don't think you read latest sales numbers, Samsung out sold Apple in phone sales. Apple was more profitable because their phones cost $217 USD to make, and are sold for varying prices. HTC sales continue to faulter.

Again, it's a matter of profitability. Samsung makes a lot of things including the iPhone hardware(with Sony), some of those things are not profitable. Apple makes a few products. Apple makes more money per iPhone sold, than other companies do from their products. It's the reason Apple doesn't change hardware as often, hardware gets cheaper the more it's made.

Yeah, like I'm going to tech advice from a wanna-be thug rapper! Even then, you can pay anyone to claim anything, but that don't make it true. Just look at all the celebrity Samsung spokesmen caught Twittering from their iPhones!

Vic - February 3, 2015 at 6:20pm

Which is why the M8 looks exactly like a wannabe iPhone lol.

Cedeno66 - February 3, 2015 at 5:28pm

All I know is I love my 4.7 iPhone 6. Yes I chose it over the 5.5. For me the 4.7 is the perfect size. Thank you apple for this wonderful phone.

gamerscul9870 - February 3, 2015 at 4:14pm

If HTC holds the crown, then how come it doesn't even outsell these 2 one bit?

Chris - February 3, 2015 at 4:12pm

They hate us cause they ain't us

SimonSays - February 3, 2015 at 4:10pm

If you can't beat'em, mock them?
