People are so creative. The video below was made by duo Sniper Twins, who, instead of rapping and singing about stacking paper, are on that computer braggadocio with "Stack The Memory."
The hook is wavy, no? And they shot some of it at Tekserve- hilarious. Thanks to Mr. Jones for sending this my way weeks ago... I should have posted it earlier.
In the next clip, NY Magazine interviews a guy who took trash bags and made really impressive inflatable street art.
I want to commission him to make me a Zilla :)
And with his bright ideas from a few months ago, I'm not surprised that Mick Boogie dabbled with another good readymade project on this one...
"Adele’s album 19 set trends and created influence in the pop, rock and international worlds. But what would happen if the vocals and instruments of 19 were combined with the hip-hop sensibilities of the late 1980s, considered by many hip-hop’s golden age?"
Love songs and hip hop history: We are the mash-up generation.
Download 1988 HERE.
Speaking of love, it's likely that you've seen this already, but my appreciation for N*E*R*D continues to grow with their video for "Sooner or Later":
They turn a love song into a metaphor for the economic crisis... I guess money just broke up with us :( If you want more, watch them perform the song (and others) live at Roseland.
And this might be 2 years after 1988, but Special Ed's "The Mission" used to be my jammy jam.
I didn't have cable growing up, but my brother and I had some episodes of Yo! MTV Raps on VHS.
I was 6 when I first saw that video.
Gotta find those tapes...
