My Entourage Gives U the Back Massage Wearing Camouflage

Posted August 06, 2007

Okay, maybe I'm just frighteningly susceptible to the charms of white people rapping for comedic purposes, but I think this is pretty good. In this rap video, King Solomon and the Giggles explain exactly what it takes to join their entourage -- the skill to deliver a hard back massage while wearing camouflage. Up in the garage.

King Solomon and the Giggles bring more than just helpful specificity to the table, though; they're actually not bad rappers. Plus they have cute chicks in camo and several impressive dance breaks, including one that features that Milli-Vanilli-esque, side-to-side jiggy thing that I don't know the name of but was mighty entertained to see again.

Plus, I like that the one guy is a "soldier with a camouflage backpack, camouflage juice box, camouflage fruit snacks." Stealthy and tasty.

Beyonce Falls Down, Goes Boom

Posted July 26, 2007

By now, most people (or most who'd care, anyway) have heard about the tumble down the stairs Beyonce took at her concert in Orlando on Tuesday. And judging by the number of views on the many videos of the incident -- presumably all posted by the "fans" Beyonce specifically asked not to post the thing -- pretty much everyone who cares has seen it as well.

Seriously. More than a million people have let their fingers do the clicking to watch Beyonce fall down. (I have, too, but that's my job.) If there's one thing that netizens like, it's watching people fall down. That little bit of social observation aside, allow me to say ...

This fall is spectacular.

Beyonce actually manages to fall on her ass, bounce off, and rebound onto her face. Then she gets up and jumps right back into the number. Officially, I'm appalled and concerned, but since her reps have put out the word that she's fine, I can also be impressed as hell. Damn.

Crank dat Soulja Boy with Barney

Posted July 25, 2007

Some time when I wasn't paying attention, "Crank dat Soulja Boy" seized the imaginations of... well, everyone but me, apparently. Now the Webiverse is crawling with dance tutorials, karaoke editions, and many, many homages.

You got your Soulja Spongebob, your Soulja Naruto... even Winnie the Pooh's kickin it Soulja-style. But for flawless editing, unbridled whimsy, and sheer joyous surreality, you simply can't beat the Barney edition.

Sure, the hours the creator must have spent voluntarily watching Barney might make you worry a bit. And every once in a while you may get distracted wondering what the hell those Barney kids were originally supposed to be doing. (There's one move I've dubbed the Hitlercize.) But the fact is, this is just a beautifully put-together video.

Simply put, this shit is tight, yo.

White Stripes Are One-Note?

Posted July 20, 2007

Normally, we'd never accuse The White Stripes of being stale -- but if one note is the only note they're gonna play, then the label might stick. As part of their Canadian tour to promote "Icky Thump," Jack and Meg White are holding to a promise to play in every Canadian province and territory -- mostly through secret "One Note" shows, advertised mere hours ahead of time via their website.

Here, a crowd of excited Newfoundland fans witness Jack and Meg keep their word. No telling how long they had to wait for this one beat of music -- but given that the applause lasts longer than the performance, it seems that the crowd thinks it was worth it.
