Calle 13 "Electro Movimiento"

Calle 13 - Electro Movimiento

Calle 13's new video for "Electro Movimiento." Calle 13's videos are always really fun and innovative for the genre of reggaeton or what he would call musica urbana. This video is really ill, and it totally is following a tend that we're seeing more and more in reggaeton and begining to see pop up more in mainstream hip hop videos of hipster aesthetics. Granted the song has a throw back vibe, but compare it with these...

Call it a cartography of emerging Puerto Rican Hipsterism. Maybe the days of Roqueros vs. Cocolos are over? Well, no, but there is definitely more overt back and forth, in terms of aesthetic presentation anyway.

Kanye and LMFAO beef over Love Lockdown

A few months ago after Kayne release Love Lockdown, LMFAO, whose video "I'm In Miami Trick" I threw up on the site yesterday, did an electro remix of the song and put down some lyrics. Check out the song...

I like LMFAO, I think they're silly, purposefully irreverent, and highly danceable. Well, apparently according to a video that went up on World Star today Kanye didn't so much agree. Craziest part was kayne telling them that he understands why Prince doesn't like people remixing his songs, and that it was as if LMFAO went to his mother's funeral while he was singing a song and remixed it. Deep. Check out LMFAO's response...

Out the Window

The new video for Ron Browz "Jumpin' (Out the Window)" which is significantly less homoerotic and substantially more hipster-y than "Pop Champagne."

Kanye, I too am baffled.

I am in a state of utter bafflement and feel quite befuddled even.

You were cheesing so hard through out the video I though you were going pop a blood vessel or something.

Fantastic.

I never knew you were such a nerd. My geeky little heart sang when you used the corniest line ever, "who do you know with two thumbs and his own Louis shoe, THIS GUY!"

Perfection.

The icing on the cake was that playful and intricate pause when you knew you were dropping a bomb, "Martin Louis the King ....................Junior. Address me as such."

Brilliant use of dramatic pause.

And your hybrid fauxhawk/mullet, or as I like to call it faux-hullet has a certain je ne sais quoi.

All and all, bravo for an outstanding performance of geeky unconscious hipsterism.


Awesomely yours,

Fox News & Malkin at it Again

Michelle Malkin is like the most absurd and questionable human being on the planet. Fox and Malkin are claiming that Jeezy & Jay's "My President" is racist, not only that but that even the slogan (and statement of the obvious) "my president is Black" is racist.

They're wildin'.

They're bemoaning the fact that we're obviously not a postracial society and that its people of color who are preventing "everyone" from moving "past" race. I for one don't live in a postracial society nor would I like to, and I also don't think that evoking MLK validates claims that we should want to be colorblind. Just because MLK wanted to be respected as a person and as a man didn't mean he didn't want to be respected as a Black man.

People need to get real so props to Jeezy, Jay, Nas, and everyother excited motherfucker out there letting everybody know that our president is Black.

I love Asher Roth! Like I said in the last post that gushed over Roth he reminds me of the small liberal arts partying nonsense that I used to love about college...besides all that cool stuff I learned anyway.

Here's to boxed wine.
