I was hoping I read this wrong. “Snoop Doggy Dog… Fail?”? That’s just not possible. Snoop can do AOL commercials and still come out smelling like roses. But his latest round of product endorsements is making me scratch my head.
http://www.hackiswack.com/ is sponsored by Norton (yes, the anti-virus people). The single official video for this promotion of Norton’s looks like it was put together in round-a-bout 15 minutes.
Check this review of the website, which includes the lone Snoop video that was officially released by Norton:
HackisWack.com has a ‘blinged-out’ look about it. Come on Norton, can’t you find a better marketing vehicle for your products? Perhaps a figure to give a serious product, anti-virus software that could save your data and identity, some clout, rather than Snoop Dogg? Now, please don’t misunderstand me. Snoop is a great pitchman; he has made himself a household name over the past twenty years and has accomplished it without selling out. He is a moving target in today’s rap landscape. But for Norton’s marketing department to move forward with the idea of him pitching anti-virus software is ludacris to me.
My favorite part of hackiswack.com? The Twits that are displayed on the lower right of each page. It’s tragic that Norton would be displaying negative twits on their own page.
As a stunning Coup de grâce, HackisWack was hacked and rickrolled during its first days of operation.
This video is the funniest thing I’ve seen in a good minute. Check out the impersonations of rappers; they’re spot on! I just eat me some squirrel meat, yea!
These guys have 25+ vids up on youtube, here’s a link to their page. Some of the earlier material ain’t up the the same level as Shawt Bus Shawty but it’s worth a watch. I hope they put out some new videos soon.
The first time I saw Shawt Bus Shawty was about 1am, I was messing around on the computer before I hit the sack. My neighbors probably wondered what was going on in my apartment that night, I watched this video more than a few times while laughing hysterically. Good stuff.
Damn. Jadakiss is hot. Dude tells it like it is, he’s got some killer quotes and saying that come from his songs. Some of Jadakiss’ best quotes follow. My favorite Jadakiss quote:
If I lose my voice, nigga, Im’ma flow online!
- Jadakiss
Yep. Jadakiss is HARD!
Here’s his video for Why, it’s the uncut version with Anthony Hamilton
Howdy! Andre three stacks just put out a new tune that’s dropping this Thursday (8/12/10) on Evil Empire’s Limelight Exclusives 2 Mixtape. The track is hot, it’s better than 97% of the music you hear on the radio. Andre 3000′s got his music coming out at a trickle, but it’s always good to hear some new tracks from the other half of the mighty OutKast.
Here are some Kanye West quotes from songs for ya’ll. I like Kayne, this guy’s ego is so massive and he’s so cocky it’s great fun to watch him on and offstage. His twitter account is a tribute to arrogance http://twitter.com/kanyewest, check it (and also friend us!).
I love this video for Stronger, Kayne rocks it here.
When he stole Taylor Swift’s VMA I was like, yep, that’s Kanye. And my favorite quote of his, by FAR, is this gem:
George Bush doesn’t care about black people… They’re saying black families are looting and white families are just looking for food…they’re giving the (Army) permission to shoot us
-Kanye West quote
I gotta add a second favorite also;
I said Yo Jay, I can rap. And I spit this rap that said I’m killin’ ya’ll niggas on this lyrical shit, mayonnaise colored benz, I push miracle whips.
-Kanye West quote
That’s a classy rap quote right there!

Yoooo! Here are some Big Boi quotes for all ya’ll. There aren’t too many quotes floating around out there for Big Boi, you’d think there’d be more? Some bonuses for ya’ll (since OutKast is one of my favorite groups out there):
The first ~20 tracks are classic Big Boi tracks, while a few of the later tracks sound like tracks that didn’t make the cut on Sir Lucious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty (read: unreleased Big Boi tracks).
And here’s the video for “Follow Us” with Vonnegutt:
One of my buddies, let’s call him Montizzle, lives in Savannah (SEA PORT!) and was at the club when they filmed the video. He found out about it through the buzz in Savannah about Big Boi’s new album and also since he frequents The Jinx (where it was filmed) every Thursday night to dance. He thought they would be filming the video earlier in the night, but when he got to the club around ten, they were getting set up for the video. They held everyone outside until Big Boi got there at 11ish. The scene was a lot of Savannah SCAD (Savannah College of Art and Design) kids, wasn’t too much of a Hip-Hop vibe there. When Big Boi and Vonnegutt had both arrived, they started playing the song… then again… then again ’til they got all the footage they needed for the video. When Montizzle heard the beat drop, he knew the album would be hot. The SCAD kids were even bouncing up and down for a Big Boi song!
Bob Marley is the mo’truckin’ MAN! Bob Marley had some quotes from everything from music to weed to destiny. His songs are eternal; they reach new listeners everyday, which is a feat. His music is timeless. Here’s a vid of Jammin’
It’s classic, ya know? Here’s one of my favorite quotes from Bob Marley,
Emancipate yourself from mental slavery, none but ourselves can free our mind.
-Bob Marley
