Awesome Music Video - "Let The Beat Build"

This is hip hop.
This video was filmed in one take. The audio was recorded simultaneously with the video.

WHO'S HOUSE???

RUN'S HOUSE!!!

Ok, we all know reality TV is anything but real, but I gotta say Run's House is becoming a guilty pleasure. It's WAY setup, and this clip is no exception, but I blog about VO and narration and junk, so it was just too hard to pass this one up.

Apparently Rev Run wrote a book about his family, and will be doing his own narration for the audiobook. I found this bit to be HIGH-sterical, as Run acts like he's NEVER been in front of a microphone before.

Of course nothing goes as planned [cue up sitcom music cue - WAAH WAAAAAAHHHH].



Hey, I think that's an Audio-Technica AT4040 he's on there. Neat, but what the crap is up with the engineer's FORTY track mixer there for ONE mic?

Anywho, I call shenanigans. Tomfoolery. Antics. Mischief. Hijinks. Malarkey.
During the "recording" session he seems really bored and stiff, very unnatural, almost like he's waiting for people to come in and interrupt him.

Like his kids.
Spontaneously.
Just at the same time he's reading passages in the book that are about them.

Right.

Also he's MUCH better at narration than this. How do I know? Well, see, he has this adorable candle lit, bath time, "Dougie Howser" style episode recap with his BlackBerry.

Which he narrates.

Really well.

Dont let the door hit you on the way out: 50 Cent promises to quit if Kanye outsells him

Everyone BUY KANYE!
In the never ending saga of rapper asshatery, Fiddy is now promising/threatening to leave if Kanye out sells him. I guess he's still miffed that Kanye turned down his invitation to a debate.

“Let’s raise the stakes” the 31-year-old rapper told hip-hop Web site SOHH.com in an interview posted Friday. “If Kanye West sells more records than 50 Cent on September 11, I’ll no longer write music. I’ll write music and work with my other artists, but I won’t put out anymore solo albums.”

Vitamin Water YO!
