I had this idea the other day to make a million dollars. Have a website that has pictures of boobs, and put a poll under each picture that says "real or fake?" People get satisfaction from their keen discernment while I place a few ads on the page and get rich.
Somehow my moral compass (which I forget exists except for moments like this) tells me I can't really go through with that though. So then why is it that I don't mind sharing these videos with you even though they espouse misogyny and violence? Don't know. Just don't feel bad about it. Maybe because these songs are addictive as all hell?
On the left is Sleepy D and D-Lo's "No Hoe", a regional hit in the Bay Area that takes its cue from hyphee heroes like E-40. Just can't get over the vocal delivery, so ridiculous. On the right is Tempa T's video for "Next Hype". Music starts about two minutes in. Does this mean flat tops are considered tough again? I have watched each of these videos at least 25 times. And often I pump my fists while watching. Let me know in the comments section if you're bit too.
OMG, that is such a great idea. I can't believe someone isn't already doing that. Does anybody remember the "Lesbian or German Tourist" photo quiz from years ago?

E-40 at least has the dignity to not actually appear with Brokencyde in their new video, he phone it in via a picture frame in the hallway.
