Okay this week in Fail let's go: Yung LA... Okay... I think this deserves a song... here we go, "No one man should have that much Coonery" the end. C. Bosh SMH is this why he was called Bosh Spice on Twitter last night? Fail and I'm from Miami. Mike P.: What you hate Mike Posner? Okay the song was corny but I'm sure the video wasn't that bad *watches video* ... Okay I see why, I hate the generic frat boy thing that Lil Wayne seems to obsessed with. You need a song to get laid is basically what this song is telling me. You know what? This deserves it's own comment. When I'm done with this I'll get to it. Pussy breath: I don't know what to hate more them or the crappy hip-hop music that aided in creating them. Fucking idiots. Oh look that's where the Snap Yo Fingers lights went to, didn't we just see them In Kanye's vid, hard times I guess. Yes I did just personify video graphic lights, gotta a problem? Pussy Furry: She will always be known as "That Pussy Furry girl" to be fair I thought the name was "Cat's and Dogs: Revenge of Pussy Galore"... Lets take a moment to think about that... Mr. C: I'm calling it now the will not end with Robots, zombies or the Biblical/ Gobal Warming/ Mayan predicted 2012 Apocalypse but with Mascots, get ready, it's them or us. CHOOSE NOW!! |

I'm not saying "Pussy Breath" was funny or good in any way, but why the fuck do you think they're pretending to be black? That's one thing that really pisses me off. Why do black people believe that we as white people see the words "stupid" and "poor" as synonymous with the word black? Sorry Nathan, I love you, but calling them racist was a terrible call and it makes you look like a racist hypocrite in this situation - race wasn't relevant to or mentioned at all within this video. And why would you hate "rich Ivy Leaguers"? You seem really offended for some reason I just can't understand - it seems like successful white people have somehow hurt you personally in the past, and if we have, on behalf of America's wealthy whites (you do group us together, so I feel like I may as well do the same), I apologize. I hope you do understand the sincerity of my apology - I love America, and I hate that some people don't understand that that's how Americans should see each other. We are Americans - no, more than that, we are human beings - and that's how we should see each other. I'm surprised that a video called "Pussy Breath" actually started what could turn out to be an intelligent debate, LOL. |

Video set staff member guy: Okay people get wayne's chair ready and his weed, can't forget the weed. Video staff member #2: But he just smoked like 46 ounces 3 seconds ago. Video staff member guy: Only? Hmm he must be trying to cut back. Oh there he is... Oh he already has a chair cool. *Lil Wayne is carried in* Lil Wayne: Ugh! So high, Where's my weed? Weezy Baby. Video staff member guy: right here sir. Lil Wayne: Only 2 lbs of weed? .... Weezy Baby.. *talking to a video girl* Posner: You know if I put on a song you'll wanna have sex with me. Video girl: That's just a part of the video, it's not for real you know. Mike: WHA!? :O So you're not gonna have sex with me? VG: Nope, unless you gots money on you right now. Mike on set: If I sit this Nuvo right here a girl would definitely would want too have sex with me. back to Wayne Wayne: *internal thought* I'm too high, I'm not standing, oh no I am. Am I rarapping too? Yep. Damn it's dark in here. This verse is horrible, who wrote it? Oh wait? Mike: Damn I feel awkward, I wish I was in college those girls would definitely sleep with me. *Sniff* *sniff* Director: Okay guys now Pretend you both got laid and now you're switching partners, completely out of respect for the video girls. Don't worry everyone will think this is classy. Lil Wayne: I don't give a fuck I had a train ran on me wait... Everybody on set: WHAT!? Wayne: Weezy baby |

@DJ_JamMaster Damn, fails of the week is about to get really serious. I love intelligent dialogue, here's my argument step by step. First, let's all agree that the Pussy Breath video is supposed to be funny. (It's not, but it's supposed to be.) So what's the "joke"? The joke is that people who attend world class institutions are imitating unintelligent rap/sex videos. That juxtaposition is where the humor's supposed to lie. Don't think there's any debate so far. Right? Now who makes the kinds of videos they're parodying? While there are certainly exceptions, I don't think there's any debate that they're created primarily by black artists from resource poor communities. In other words, the joke is that they're smart, and rich, and white, but they're embodying every negative stereotype of the lower class, black rapper. That is racist, just as if it'd be racist if they did a video pretending to be Latino farm workers, Koreans working in a dry cleaners, or black rappers did a video where they dressed up like hicks who couldn't read, chewed tobacco and fucked their cousins. Just pick your stereotype. And just in case that was too abstract, take a look at the description of the video they wrote: "WATCH MCMP AND YOUNG SHEIK GO HARD WIT ALL DA FLYIST GOOGLE MONEY GIRLZ DIS IS PU$$Y BREF HAPPY VALANTINS DAY lol... 2 dais L8" I think it's safe to say the people who did this video don't actually write like that. So who are they imitating when they write like that? Come on. It's not like going looking for racial overtones here. And for the record, I don't hate white people, or rich people, or people who attend Ive League schools. Who I do hate are people, of any race, who use their power and privilege to demean and mock others. And your response good sir? |

Yung LA's tattoo reminds me of Red Foreman from That 70s Show, when he said(I'm paraphrasing) "some idiot actually thought DUCT tape was spelled DUCK tape. A security guard had to pull us apart". I guess Yung LA's not gonna be known for Ain't I anymore. Shame. Chris Bosh = Weak Sauce <- Best D-Bag insult I could think of since I consider Bosh a D-Bag. You're not the only one who hates Mike Posner. I didn't even watch the damn video. IMO The Pussy Breath guys are like a poor man's Lonely Island. Mascots bore the hell outta me. That includes Mr. C. *Kanye Shrug* |

I'd love to respond, Nathan: I agree that they're parodying a certain type of video, but there are three or four things that you should realize. First, this video does NOT target black people, nor does it target poor people - your stereotypes make you think of it as a poor- or black-bashing video because that's what you apparently think of when you see a stupid person put up a terrible song on YouTube, but even these stupid people aren't serious when they post their videos -if they are, I think we can all agree that there's no way they would be able to survive without a caretaker; next, this video clearly and specifically parodies a certain type of person, and the only REAL tie between the makers of the serious videos is that they're uneducated; and third, there are many videos that parody the uneducated and ignorant music video genre made by - GASP - minorities! So, as to my first point, the "Pussy Breath" kids are making fun of stupid people. I, for one, hope that you do not identify with that demographic. I hope that very few people can actually say that they identify with that group and are offended because of that. Many stupid video posters are, when we think about what we've seen (notably, 'Cook Cook, Stir Stir' and 'Mixxie'), black. This DEFINITELY does not mean that all black people post stupid videos, or that all stupid videos are posted by black people. Agreed? Good. It just means that when considering only stupid rap videos, many people who post them are black and often appear to be poor. However, even the dumbest people know that they're not serious when they post the videos. It just isn't possible to be an operating, fully aware human (unless your name is Waka Flocka) without finding those videos even the slightest bit humorous. The whole stupid rap video genre is a joke, and everyone knows it, no matter how serious they may be about making their videos. Nobody is seriously watching the Mixxie video (which, come to think of it, satirizes the excess that most rappers celebrate) thinking, "hey, next time I'm drinking, I'm going to pour out half of the bottle onto my carpet!" The next fact is that you seem to forget that it is very common for black people to parody the stupid rap video genre, too. One example of a black person's parody would be "Baracka Flocka Flame," which was a feature on this site not too long ago. I can't lie and say I didn't love the song, but we can all agree that although it was a much better done video, it belonged in the same category as "Pussy Breath" -both videos parody the "stupid rap video" genre. But, you may argue, "'Baracka Flocka Flame' was bad, too! They were making fun of poor people and that's f*d up!" Alas, I have an example of a person who doesn't flaunt excess wealth making fun of these stupid people, too. And it's in the form of an old feature as well! It's Money Boy's Dreh Den Swag Auf ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fFwFsU6moig ). Finally, and this is short, actually consider how many of these posters are just very dumb. Most of them are! We all have our outlets for stupidity (for many of us, our outlet is opened by alcohol). It just seems that for many black people, the outlet is rap videos - for others, it may be making another type of video or just having a drunken incident. The thing is, we can find examples of white people making stupid rap videos if we need to. The important thing is recognizing that the tie between these posters is not race, gender or anything so superficial; the tie is stupidity. To conclude, I think we can agree that stupidity is the tie that binds the video makers - not race, gender, social status or financial status (although poor financial status may be a side effect of their stupidity). We can also agree that the whole genre satirizes the lives of excess led by many rappers, and to compromise, that, albeit present, race plays a minuscule part in this genre because white people, black people, mexican people and all other people have joined in to parody these videos on YouTube. As for America and for the world, let's all stop playing the race card and come together as a family of superficially different people bonded together through our humanity. If we want to become one big family, we'll need to act like it and stop whining about racism. Racist dirt bags will be racist dirt bags, and we can all agree on that, but mislabeling attempted humor as racism is a dangerous game. Let's just say that "Pussy Breath" was stupid, as were the creators, regardless of their superficial labels. Please forgive me for grammar mistakes and any other mistakes I made. After all, it is midnight and I wasn't planning on writing an essay tonight. |

Lil Wayne probably couldnt stand, because he literally couldnt stand his own terrible verse And I cant believe that Nathan just blamed the satire for satirizing ignorance and being a lil too precise with satirizing (rich white kids video) |

@DJ_JamMaster Love the deep discussion, but I don't think either of us are going to convince the other of the specifics surrounding Pussy Breath (god I can't believe I'm writing this much about a video with that title). Instead, on a large level let me say that I think we both have the same goal - a world in which racism doesn't exist. However, we have two very different ideas about how to get there. You think that by ignoring race and treating everyone as equals we can will those separations to disappear. I, on the other hand, think that only by confronting racism, externally and within ourselves, and acknowledging the disparities that exist can we move towards that more perfect world. I don't think either of us can claim to be absolutely right, but I believe in my philosophy to apply it to my life, and my site, every day. |

You see this is why I love RefinedHype over hiphopdx. On that site you get stuff comments like *_____ is bak on da grindizle* on this site you get comments which are witty, intelligent, insightful, sarcastic, humored, meaningful and throughout it all we will listen to each other as if we were...equal. Taking racism down a notch every comment. Coincidence? I THINK NOT!:p Nathan and DJ_JamMaster have made my night. Goodnight RefinedHype/DJBooth. |
