? he seemed like he was sober and just having fun

yeah wtf, there's nothing exploitative about this
― (alternatively, “Respec’”) (forksclovetofu), Monday, 3 December 2012 21:23 (eleven years ago) link
I didn't feel that strongly about it but I found it simultaneously catchy and hard to watch
I probably would have had a different reaction had the woman at the beginning not printed out the words to Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer for him, as if it was a legitimate concern that he might not know them, and if at the end he hadn't said "did I get all of the reindeer's names right?" thus validating the concern
― I loves you, PORGI (DJP), Monday, 3 December 2012 21:26 (eleven years ago) link
git atta here. the google one was obv exploitative. this one, less overtly so, but it's p clear that power 105 has clued in to the fact that they basically have a minor youtube meme on demand.
and he didn't seem sober to me... he seemed, as usual, really out of it.
― fennel cartwright, Monday, 3 December 2012 21:26 (eleven years ago) link
nah if he's out of it he's way more out of it than that
― U.S. State Department, Office of Rare Psych (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Monday, 3 December 2012 21:27 (eleven years ago) link
I didn't watch the Google one because I looked at the title before hitting play
― I loves you, PORGI (DJP), Monday, 3 December 2012 21:27 (eleven years ago) link
at any rate, the guy is basically just pathetic at this point and these videos are at least exploiting an epically fallen star
― fennel cartwright, Monday, 3 December 2012 21:31 (eleven years ago) link
i think it's a legitimate concern that an adult might not know all the words to Rudolph, if you wanted them to recite it. i sure as shit can't remember that whole thing off the top of my head.
― these markers love soda (some dude), Monday, 3 December 2012 21:31 (eleven years ago) link
I find that to be insane
admittedly I have had to sing "Rudolph" a bazillion times in my life but no one needed to remind me of the words after the age of 7
― I loves you, PORGI (DJP), Monday, 3 December 2012 21:39 (eleven years ago) link
i wouldn't know the words by heart either and if i'd just done a rendition of it, whether i'd got the reindeers' names right would probably be my uppermost concern too
― #YOLO ONO (lex pretend), Monday, 3 December 2012 21:41 (eleven years ago) link
most people never sang in a fuckin choir, dude
― these markers love soda (some dude), Monday, 3 December 2012 21:45 (eleven years ago) link
i wouldn't know the words to rudolph, actually i sort of forgot about the intro part where they name the other reindeer, but DMX did!
― U.S. State Department, Office of Rare Psych (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Monday, 3 December 2012 21:46 (eleven years ago) link
I know all the reindeer's names, pretty sure I could sing it in my sleep

i mean if you're gonna be obnoxious and ask a celebrity to recite a song they didn't write on camera, the least you can do is provide a lyric sheet
― these markers love soda (some dude), Monday, 3 December 2012 21:47 (eleven years ago) link
Yeah I dont remember the words at all.
― small-scale fux with (Spottie_Ottie_Dope), Monday, 3 December 2012 21:49 (eleven years ago) link
I could understand this conversation if it was about "The Holly and the Ivy" or "Personet Hodie", but it's about one of the most frequently-played holiday songs of all time
next you're gonna be all "'Jingle Bells'? How does that go?"
― I loves you, PORGI (DJP), Monday, 3 December 2012 21:52 (eleven years ago) link
yeah i mean i KNOW those songs. but if someone put me on camera and made me recite them apropos of nothing, i might pause between sections like shit which part comes next. which, if that happened to DMX, the conversation would be about how he's a washed up crackhead. which is the conversation we're having anyway.
― these markers love soda (some dude), Monday, 3 December 2012 21:57 (eleven years ago) link
every year I get "jingle bell rock" stuck in my head from black friday to mid-march of the following year and I still don't know the words, giddy up giddy up pick up yr feet something something thru the frosty air, but tbf I am a crackhead

yeah it's like when you do karaoke on a song you "know by heart" then you're all like stumbling on a few lines you forgot even w/the lyrics on the screen there

A comment about sandals on another thread suddenly made me free associate to the DMX/Jay-Z sandals diss
DMX – the oft-arrested hip-hop star – says real men don’t wear sandals. And he blames Beyoncé for Jay-Z’s flip-flop fetish. “The flip-flops – he’s just not the same,” DMX complains in Vibe magazine. “It’s Beyoncé. He’s a sucker for love. Thugs don’t do flip-flops. Yo, no matter how much vacation I’m on – we been to St. Thomas, Bahamas, all the little islands – I don’t wear no flip-flops. I’m never that comfortable, not even in my own house.”
I always found that quote unintentionally revealing and sad. RIP, hope you found comfort.

It's loaded up on big guest features, which is par for the course I guess.

DMX sounds really good! and Swizz has some cool production

It's a very uneven album with some totally confusing choices but there are maybe four great tracks (Money Money Money, Hood Blues, Take Control, Walking in the Rain) and Bath Salts and Hold Me Down are pretty good. Prayer is a good way to end.
