What's the fascination with the Black Kids? For some reason, I just don't get it. Their music makes me think of stuff that played on the radio in the 80's that made me change the channel. Was it New Wave back then? What is it now?
Anyway, I know peeps like this stuff, coz MOG went record shopping with them and filmed it for MOGtv. And people post about Black Kids' music here on MOG. So tell me why you like them.
Here's the brand new video for "Look at me (When I Rock Wichoo)" from the Black Kids:
So disco-sounding and glam-looking. Is it a hipster NYC thing that I would simply never understand as a west coast techno-head/hip hop-enthusiast?
It's like a dam broke in the hip hop video market - all of a sudden there is a furious flow of killer music vids out. So many appeared over the weekend that I couldn't possible post about each one separately. Since I noticed it via OnSmash, I'll just link to the best ones so you can choose the ones you want to check out... Let me know in the comments which ones you liked and what you thought about any of them. I couldn't resist posting the new Santogold video right here:
Santogold - "Lights Out":
Gym Class Hereos - "Cookie Jar" (Feat. The-Dream)
The Game - "My Life" (Feat. Lil Wayne)
Twista - "Whip Game Proper" (Feat. Lil Wayne) [Animated]
Ace Hood - "Ride" (Feat. Trey Songz)
This next one, by Kam Moye, stands out for having the longest description of any video on OnSmash:
Kam Moye - "Black Enough?":
The description:
The outspoken debut video, Black Enough, from Reform School Music recording artist, Kam Moye (also known as Supastition). The music video was directed by Rick Foy and the song was produced by Seattle beatmaker Eric G. The song itself addresses the racial stereotypes placed upon Blacks by other races as well as themselves. Kam Moye gives his point of view of being 'black enough' and voices his frustrations. Though some may agree or disagree, there is no doubt that the problem still exists in the African-American community.

glad you liked it K!
for those of you not familiar with OPIO - if you watch the movie "The Wackness" you'll hear him there too. OPIO has the first track on the mixtape the main character makes for his female interest. He plays it for her when they get to the beach house and OPIO is the 1st tune out the speakers.
and we're talking actual mixtape here folks! the movie is set in 1984! I strongly suspect that half the music that plays in the movie is from much later, but the mixtapes might be true to the era.
Snoop Dogg presents the world premiere of Westurn Union in their debut video. According to the group's myspace blog, Westurn Union is a Cali-bred hip hop group working from Snoop Dogg's camp:
Consisting of Long Beach’s Soopafly, Inglewood’s Damani and the "Watts Riot" Bad Lucc, the trio is ready to unfold its potential.
Westurn Union make classic west coast rap, if this first single is anything like the rest of their upcoming debut album:
