Prisoners do MC Hammer

Just a fun little thing to pass the time. Ever wonder what a whole bunch of prisoners look like while dancing to Soulja Boy and MC Hammer? No? Too bad. Watch anyways.

ODB vs. Kanye in a interrupt-off

Twice — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 13:52:22 +0000

I had never noticed this before, but apparently Ol’ Dirty Bastard was almost as bad as Kanye in terms of storming the stage at the Grammys. And yet somehow ODB’s was more understandable because hew as at least pissed that he didn’t win. Kanye was mad on ‘behalf of Beyonce.

ODB:

Kanye:

Apparently, it’s impossible to find real video of the Kanye interruption. Just thousands of videos of people ranting and raving about it, or people trying to make their own mini news reports. Still, you know our take on it.

I guess rap divahood is no new phenomena, so at the least I should probably dial down my Kanye animosity. Still, it’s hard not to take the occasional pot shot. I feel like ODB could get away with this kind of nonsense because in his spare time he was saving little children, in Kanye’s he’s shopping.

Fanboy Rap

Someone took the time to do a little rap about Mac products…recorded at an actual Apple store.

MF Doom changing his name too

Twice — Sun, 08 Mar 2009 17:23:20 +0000

MF Doom is going the way of Lil Bow Wow and changing his moniker. No, he’s not going back to Viktor Vaughan, he’s decided to rename himself DOOM.

That’s right. According to Pitchfork, it’s DOOM, all in capitals.

It’s a strange choice, but one that may kind of work for him. He’s been away from the music scene for quite some time now, and this may be just the way to get back into music.

At the risk of becoming 4080YouTube, I thought I’d toss this up here. It entertained me as another one of those silly little YouTube geekraps.

Earlier today, the annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade was Rick Rolled – as in Rick Astley himself jumped out of a float and started singing “Never Gonna Give You Up.” Greatest. Parade. Ever.
