Friday Video Wrap-Up: The Best From Around The Web
New York, NY (February 22, 2008) – Yes, Yes… check the embedded freshness and then your True School gem at the bottom.
Rick Ross & T-Pain – “Boss”
Trivia: Who has the bigger titties?
Jin – “Open Letter To Obama”
It’s hard to take someone serious if they admit they don’t know politics… but Jin does a good job here of at least touching on certain topics, avoiding the vagueness most rappers who “drop knowledge” often fall victim to.
Bottom-line: make an informed decision when you pick your candidate. Don’t buy into the hype of one or the other because everyone else is doing it, or because Jin or Will.i.am has a song. Each party, Democrat and Republican, has an agenda, each side will promise change and each side will appeal to a particular ethos to get your vote. Ask yourself which candidate is going to do right by you and has the experience and track record of backing up what they say they can do. Spend a couple hours a week catching up on the debates, primaries and commentary that’s floating around. Don’t walk to the polls blindly.
Prodigy at G4: Freestyle 101
Interesting convo, talks about battling Nas and Cormega.
Talib Kweli – Hostile Gospel Pt. 1
One of the best tracks off of “Eardrum.” Video is ridic…
Jadakiss – “Welcome To The Roc”
Low budget but effective. If I’m catching the metaphor right, the chorus is pretty ironic. Spin it backwards: “White collar criminals love…”
Pete Rock & CL Smooth – “They Reminisce Over You (T.R.O.Y.)”
My favorite song of all-time and in my Top 5 for videos.
