The auto-tuning plague

Posted on Friday, December 5th, 2008 by lee

This video sums up how I feel recently about rap music these days. Hip hop artists are skimping on lady singers to fill in their hooks; so they’re doing it themselves. Doing more with less? More like doing nothing with less. Kanye anyone?

In related news, earlier this week, Stephen Colbert launched an attack on Kanye West. Called “Humble Kanye West,” Stephen Colbert was getting his troops together to take over the #1 Album spot on iTunes with his Christmas album. On Monday he said:

“You’re not the voice of a generation.  With all that Auto-Tuning, you’re even the voice of your own album.”

I agree with that. Do you like the auto-tune?

Damon Weaver released another video calling for Obama to interview with him. If you don’t already know him, he is a 10-year-old from Canal Point Elementary School in Florida. He’s interviewed Biden, Dwayne Wade and tried to interview McCain, and has his sights set on Obama.

This video takes the editing to another level. These kids are really impressive and this program is great. Watch the video below and tell your friends.

This video is really well made. Just after the 2 minute mark, Jay-Z cuts in to light up the song. Check out the interview I did with the inspiration behind this video.

Hipster is a dirty word says Williamsburg

Posted on Saturday, November 22nd, 2008 by lee

People really don’t like the term “hipster.” Black 20 news hit the streets of Williamsburg to find out what people thought about the term. Throughout the video, you can see more and more people saying they’re not hipsters, but would probably be considered by others to displaying “hipster” tendencies. Did you know it was a nasty word?

Graffiti turns into animation

Posted on Wednesday, November 19th, 2008 by lee

A friend tipped me off to Blu. Blu is a graffiti, sketch and video artist in London, I believe. His book of sketches can be found on his website and look sick, but he also recently released this “wall-painted animation” called “Muto.” Watch in awe.
