My new favourite Song


I have often been bemused by certain types of music video normally springing from the rNb or hiphop communities where the sole purpose of the video, whatever the song happens to be about, is to demonstrate to the public that the the artist is /has

a. No productive day to day work
b. Surrounded by half naked lobotomised women -always
c. A huge 'metal chain' carrying capacity and a wide range of vests
d. Has more 'bling' than the Aztec's
e. Access to super Cars /boats / lorries

These 'core' messages have always nagged away at me as being broadly unhelpful if you think that attempting to instil into modern youth broadly progressive values regarding sexual equality and wealth distribution not to mention education and the wearing of vests is a reasonable aim.

Recently I have, thanks to a friend from north of the border, discovered a little tune which I think neatly sums up things...




Mega.

Incidentally I am writing this piece from a bed, a mother fucking bed, take a good look at me cos I'm lying in my bed.
