The surprising part was that this track felt real, both in intention and in delivery. Even more surprisingly, it was a rap video a genre that seems all too content with riding auto-tune until the wheels fall off. In fact, the production quality looked budget as fuck and the “vocalist” of the “group” was anything but “accessible”. It didn’t have amazing special effects or a groundbreaking, elaborate storyline, either, and it wasn’t some young new tween talent to discover, who will inevitably get signed by someone like Ellen Degeneres or wind up starring in some traveling Broadway fiasco. What I was sent was a simple music video. It wasn’t a pet with a box on it’s head or even of one mock playing an instrument -let’s face it, Youtube is the America’s Funniest Home Videos of the new millenium. It’s true that there’s always gonna be new footage of some random goon snapping off their leg grinding a rail, a toddler stealing a car, or some ignorant bastards blowing shit up that they didn’t intend to blow up, but this was different. Quite a few weeks back, I received a Facebook message from a friend of mine that read, “ I just saw this and it immediately seemed like something I should post to your wall.” Accompanying that comment was one of the most surprising videos that I have seen in a long time.
