Straight Outta Congress: A Hip-Hop Tribute to \'House of Cards\'

One week into its release, “House of Cards” continues to knock down boundaries: this political thriller is the first original series to be commissioned by Netflix, the streaming video service; the first to make all 13 episodes of its debut season available at once; the first whose finale could be spoiled online almost as soon as you could watch the pilot. And now it appears to have set a record for the speed at which it has inspired a hip-hop tribute: “I Can’t Stop Watching House of Cards” is the creation of Adam WarRock (the nom de rap of Eugene Ahn) and it has already earned an endorsement of sorts from the “House of Cards” show runner, Beau Willimon. For the uninitiated, the video won’t spoil any crucial “House of Cards” plot points, though it will give you a thorough introduction to series star Kevin Spacey’s fluctuating Southern accent.
