General Awesomeness: The Best of the Best Vines of 2013 Posted by Nathan S. on 08/13/13 | Filed under Videos, General Awesomeness, humor

It's been a long day filled with intense rap debate and more Kendrick Lamar murder than even a state prison can handle. So while I usually prefer to let stuff like "The Greatest Vines of 2013" slide, or save them for "This Week in General Awesomeness", I'll be honest; I really needed to embrace my inner ADD for a moment, relax and laugh.

This video is a good reminder that there are people putting some serious work into their six-second videos - we're talking props and choreography here, and that this shit can actually be incredibly entertaining. But even though I'm taking a lighter approach to end the day, this still is RefinedHype, and we've always got to the extra mile and/or boobs.

So here's my ten "best of the best" picks:

1:23 You didn't see the maracas coming. They never see the maracas coming.
3:43 Kids, smoking isn't cool...but that's really fucking cool.
5:22 Still hard to go wrong with a well-executed pool dunk.
6:06 French Montana, the soundtrack to life's classier moments.
6:58 Great example of really putting in work. Also, Obama's "turn up" at the end is a classic.
7:27 Well played gentlemen, well played.
7:32 I hate that Smack Cam shit, nice to see a "real life" version.
10:37 Note to self: set alarm to only play DMX songs.
11:32 Is that Dirt Nasty coming through with the racial rap humor? Indeed it is.

It's a tough call, there's just a special place in my heart for pool dunks, and I want to reward the Obama impression for the level of difficulty, but ultimately I have to go guy pulling out the surprise maracas. I want to find that dude, become his best friend, get hammered with him, and go on a maraca robbing spree.

Who got RefinedHype Nation's vote?
