You Crazy For This One, Rick!
A few of you who know former Chapel Hill resident Ricky Dollars may have already seen/heard his highly politicized "99 Problems" freestyle....hell, you may have been fortunate enough to catch him and Jesse P. doing "99 Problems" at Bub's karaoke a couple of months back! Sadly, I wasn't there to see it. At any rate, RDA's reworking definitely deserves a listen. Check it out right hurr...or click on the image to the right. My favorite couplet from the NYU creative writer's latest work:
I don't think I can help you...well, perhaps I can.
Hot Tip: Bin Laden's in Pakistan
I'd love to see Kerry turn to Bush on Thursday and use something on the order of the "hot tip" line. Which reminds me, the Slam Bush promo video is pretty funny if you didn't see it when it came out. Nice lyrical counterpoint: "Problems evolving, partial involvement could solve it if you weren't golfing so often."
I'm really not sure why videos like the Slam Bush promo and the Will Farrell "White House West" clip and the MoveOn 10Weeks ads and all of the Errol Morris "Switch" ads never showed up repeatedly in my email inbox the way that stupid JibJab cartoon did. Too blatantly partisan for mass-forwarding?
I doubt it'll be done anytime soon, but a couple months ago I started working on a track that uses the other part of "99 Problems", the part that Ricky Dollars discarded. Yeah, I know the world doesn't really need any more of those things...but man is it fun to mix-and-match with "The Red Album"!
