    Default What's Wrong With This Music Video?

    I laughed a little when I saw this. It is, in its own way, a microcosm of everything that is wrong and right in American music today.

    A balloon to the first person who gets it. (Are people still doing that balloon thing around here?)

    The biggest problem I see is that he hasn't been non-lethally shot in an extremity.

    Are these people supposed to be artists? Only saw the preview pic, but they look like savages and barbarians.

    Apparently Warner Music Group (WMG) knows this works only in America and banned viewers from Germany to save our souls.

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    The cars (not the 300SL)... they seriously look like toys, if they aren't really toys.
    Ja mata, TosaInu. You will forever be remembered.

    Been to:

    Swords Made of Letters - 1938. The war is looming in France - and Alexandre Reythier does not have much time left to protect his country. A novel set before the war.

    A Painted Shield of Honour - 1313. Templar Knights in France are in grave danger. Can they be saved?

    Ahh you almost got what I was talking about.

    The iconic 300SL is pretty much the star of the video, more than even the artists. That car, of course, has no backseats.

    Before the 1800s, popular music was largely generated by the highly educated products of the elite society in which they resided such as Beethoven, Bach and others. Over the past two centuries, this trend began a rapid reversal as popular regional music influcned by the more poorer class began to take off as proliferation of music mediums began to become cheaper for large scale production and consumption. However, in recent decades the emphasis on the obtaining of money has shed new attention on the soical issues that effect the upper-middle classes which wer epreviously silenced by now so called "golden age" hip hop that emerged from the slums of some of America's most populated metropolitan areas. New Boyz's "Backseat" is a telling expose on the troubles that currently face the current upperclass current within American society which has been largely ignored within current American mainstream media. Among the the cultural problems highlighted within the video include the pressures that new money has been having on the previously exclusive venues only known to the now classified "old money" families and the tension this has been causing between both groups as well as the difficulty that today's wealthier men have in acquiring an attractive girl for a fun time due the progressive worsening discrimination that the rich today face.

    Intro paragraph done, too tired to finish essay.
