North Dakota: On the "Cutting" Edge of Pop Culture

You know you're fucked when the county sheriff is taking notes on how you cut your hair and the type of clothes you wear.

The funniest part is that all of their references are obvious parody sites.

I dare you not to laugh at this shit.

God Smacked



Check out this hilarious video where they edit together a bunch of Benny Hinn clips with the Official Song of the US Army playing in the background.

Rappers Lie Alot

Check out "Lie Alot" by Talib Kweli. He jacks a crack-rap track, kills it, and burns the whole genre. Nice subtle dig on Clipse in there too (most over-rated album of the century.)

What's up with Talib Kweli lately?

I used to think of him as just the weaker half of Black Star, but after the Mad Lib collabo, and now this, he's somebody I'm definitely keeping an ear out for.

After watching Wassup Rockers, its become obvious that any movie Larry Clark makes is just an excuse for him to photograph shirtless teenage boys.

I guess that should have been apparant after Bully. Fool me twice... can't get fooled again.

Anything that might by stylisticly interesting about Wassup Rockers was either something he's already done, or could have been summed up in a 5 minute music video. And the story was just ridiculous.

So in 5 years when he drops a movie about disillusioned asian youth from Canada... fuck him. I will be skipping it.

I've been paying attention to the White Rapper Show over on Channel Zero. What a bunch of clowns these kids are.

On the last episode, the "rappers" were split into teams, and each team had to come up with a song and video. The team of Sully, Jon Boy, and John Brown (AKA Grown Ass Men) came up with the most ridiculous cliche of a hip hop song one could imagine.

The name of the song was "She's a Stunna," which was one hook. The other hook was "She need a grown ass man in her life." It was a (ironic quotes) CLUB BANGER (ironic quotes) and the video featured much money flippin, booty shakin, and general fronting.

Sully objected to the whole affair, wanting to go in more of a Wu-Tang direction. One thing he didn't like was the repetition of the hooks, which John Brown felt was important because "its like brainwashing." Which, at least he's frank about his role as a song writer.

Well needless to say they lost the challenge. Host MC Serch finally earned some respect by pointing out how ridiculous the song/video was and telling the Grown Ass Men that for the elimination challange, they were to write a verse calling out the flaws of the other two members of the group.

So Sully gets to rip on these guys, right? Wrong. See, there's a trendy slogan out there called "Stop Snitchin." And this clueless fuck thinks that means you can't call someone wack when they are wack. So, rather than "snitch" on his teamates, he quit. (Jon Boy basicly did the same by making his verse about "not snitchin")

While Serch did break down the stupidity of Sully's "Stop Snitchin" defense, it would have been nice if he informed the kid that if MCs weren't allowed to make songs dissing other MCs they've made songs with, it would eliminate like 32% of all hip hop music.

What a dipshit.

Worst of all, by the end of the show I had most respect for "She's A Stunna" creater John Brown, for his verse dissing Jon Boy and Sully. In the last line he called them out for voting for Bush. So I'm glad they were kicked off the show. Voting for Bush is the worst White Rapper cliche of all.

Classic Crack!Bang! Flashback: Voices That Care

Check out this gem from circa Gulf War 1, featuring everybody who was anybody in 1991.
I don't remember ever seeing it until recently, but if I did see it, I'm sure it was tacked onto the end of NBA's Inside Stuff. (The emotion in Michael Jordan's performance brings a tear to my eye.)

Also I love that the token rapper was the Fresh Prince. Actually I'm surprised they even let him in. Times have changed. If they did one of these today it'd be 80% rappers with the occasional Kellie Pickler or somebody.
