I came across thin online this morning when I was looking around for an "Umbrella" cover to show a friend of mine. That beast called YouTube has everything. This video was made by comedians Kenny Johnson and Tiffany Haddish. It reminds me of something I would have seen on In Living Color back in the 90s. They did a good job rewording the Chris Brown songs and inserting sound clips from stuff like Thriller and even the video game, Mortal Kombat. The video, as you can imagine, has already surpassed well over a million views.
I came across this today. It is by West Coast rapper, The Game. The song is titled "Better On The Other Side" and is a tribute to Michael Jackson. I am sure this is the the first big tribute to make the rounds. I think all the artists who plan on doing so should just hop on one mixtape, sell it and donate the proceeds to charity. As far as this song, its actually decent. The Game is hit or miss, like any other rapper these days. Well done here. "Better Off On The Other Side" features guest appearances from Chris Brown, Sean Combs (not sure what he goes by these days) and more. Check it out for yourself. I downloaded it off this link:
