a tribute to rehdogg and youtube.
while i am still indulging in the wonderful lyrics and music that are born out of the musical genius speak, thanks to folake, i have yet made another discovery of a video that will blow your mind because of its sheer and utter amazing wonderfulness that only the internet can produce:
analysing the video itself, you will see one thing - he pushes clichés of sadness and desperation and the dramaturgical “cleansing” of a traumatizing event (showering scene) to the next ultimate level. especially when he washes is asscrack while singing into his camera.
two words, simply - comedy genius.
but he who shows interest will get even more - just check out his youtube channel. 47 (!) videos. hours and hours of entertainment.
you will see that he loves movies. every music video he makes is a work of cinematic art. painted on a piece of used toilet paper, if you will. but still, art.
there is the blacken chinese man - a video where he dresses up in a satin “chinese” costume and shows his mad skills with a knife. with an interesting contrast, tieing together 2 seemingly unrelated plots where he is a black chinese man in a winter landscape and a dude on a beach rapping and bathing.
a follow up to his legend hit, “why must i cry” is “no cry no more” where he warns the world from the “bitches of the internet” who “look like fuckin bitches with down syndrome”, gaining most of his authority through the wig and the cape he is wearing. if this isn’t a rap ballad that is to be taken serious, what else is? this is relevant information.
about the rest, i let you decide if you like it. i, in fact, love it. with passion.
one final thing, check out his website, to be found at http://www.rehdogg.com. this guy is LEGEND.
thanks, youtube.
