"Flash Robbery" at Wal-Mart

TheDreamingDragon says...

Oh don't hate them for their race.Hate them for their Player Class--Gangsta,where anyone who figures out how to string a dozen words together in front of a microphone feels entitled to Phat Lootz,or they blame "the Man" for their failures and consider random acts of violence and theft their Just Retribution we somehow owe them. I can appreciate Good Music of any sort,and acknowledge the Art and Craft of its creating auible sculpture with sound and voice. However,I will say I can do so without buying into a whole subculture that thinks wearing your pants half off is a fashion statement. I don't see the Enya Posse in Blue Wold on their faces and sporting designer kilts running around(although we should!). To quote a line from Animal House "Stoned Drunk and Stupid is no way to go through life,son.",and that's what the subtext of the subculture amounts to. Flashy glamour is nice,but none of it matters in the face of Real Work and the instinctual Need to get it done. This seperates the Artist from the Mob,wanting to devote time away from a constant party and to physical and emotional labour to conjure something meaningful magical and new. Stepping back to admire the fruits of your handywork is a high no mass of shiney strangers can ever hope to beat. Someone in that Flashmob has orginizational skills...300 people is quite a turn out. Wouldn't it be Nice if they had much enthusiasm for something Positive,like a neighborhood watch? twittering about crimes happening to the police can help keep their neighborhoods safe,which are crawling with drugs and shoot outs."Yo Dawg! The Bruthah from that Bodega Shooting is here on Main Street!" Maybe if the "Hood wasn't such a Scarey Place,businesses would come in. And if they didn't feel it was their right to steal,they might find good jobs from the new businesses and earn a living instead of demanding one.

But one has to have Morals for that. I see none in that video. People who don't mind rampaging in front of a sea of security cameras.Can you convince such people to Play Nice at all,or past the point when doing the right thing inconveniences you?Do people sometimes need the threat of Guns even to keep civil? Suddenly snide remarks about Evolution suddenly make SENSE. But its SOcial Evolution at play here,and at fault. WE are Rome trying to convince a native of the Province they conquered to kindly not shit in the street. Sometimes you need clubs for that. But something tells me these people need their lives managed for them. Maybe wall up a ten block radius of a poor neighborhood,move all the families out nd let them play hip Hop as a live action video game where the bullets are real and cameras everywhere record the drama Live! The ultimate Reality TV Urban Experience fully packaged and ready for heavy merchendising! They can compete for resources and earn fabulous prizes,and hopefully only shoot themslves instead of the rest of us just trying to get on with life.

Log in with your SmartPhone and soak up all the sleeze with the HoodieCam!

It'll happen. You'll see. It's very Roman.

I find his gangsta talk to be legit. I think its the kids movies and fame that aren't authentic or indicative of his upbringing, in the that way his dialect is.

In reply to this comment by Trancecoach:
why does he have to put on that gangsta speak? it's clearly a put-on, and inauthentic at this point... bothers me.

Also, there's a new documentary about the Eames.. and one of my favorite films is a documentary about LA culture as it shows up in movies.

So it was sort of a slow day today and I was stuck in the shop doing bullshit jobs that needed to be done.

I was detailing/cleaning my boss' truck when I was cleaning, just a cleaning and the slot that is between the steering wheel column and the dash there was a seven inch blade and plastic sheath. You know, for when them Gangstas are around in this town of thousands.

I offered to sharpen it for him.

Japan You So Crazy!

jmd says...

First, its a kids/girls (shoujo) song. At first I thought it was a solo release from one of the MMs mini moni group but alas, unrelated.

Second, it is no more or less bizarre as adults watching most kids shows these days, it just so happens japan's kids have a bit better imagination thanks to not having nearly the oppressive censoring on TV as us whities do.

Frankly considering the only popular music we have to offer our kids is the likes of gangsta rap and justin beiber (They wont find any classics on todays modern stations), the up beat (and maybe too happy) young listeners jpop market looks to produce better material compared to the crap we offer over here.

Unicorns are for Gangstas. A Picture Song.

I don't get the idea of Moshing around / pushing people around when listening to music , I don't see why been pushed around and acidently punched in the face is enjoyable.

If this or any sort of music makes you want to be violent and fight that's fine but then I would want to do it properly and actually be beating the shit out of people not some half arsed prancing around that is not satisfying but yet still has potential for you to accidently hurt yourself or sum one.


as for the music not my cup of tea at all , the singing comes across as pining for attention and how hard life is and what have you which is strange when its coming from what look to be failry well of middel class kids. not that that's any different from much of the gangsta rap and other things.
at least they were singing in tune and playing instruments to a reasonable standerd.
