No Seriously, Rap Rock Still Isn't Ironic. Or good.

So being an insomniac allows for some really great late night television viewing. I typically just park my remote on MTV and watch marathons of Exposed. Not only is it great for late night programming, but it's also great for trashy commercials ("Call us at 999-Love and talk to a real female today!"....not all of us are 45 year old single men, we just can't sleep)

That being said, I saw a low budget commercial for local band Kottonmouth Kings and their CD/DVD that is available. It seemed like a bad car audio commercial, with some sweet flash animation and lots of fish-eye view shots. A great moment is when they are openly bragging (or shamefully admitting, depending on how you look at it) that the album features collaborations with Tech-9 and of all bands, Insane Clown Posse. However, my favorite part when they mentioned the DVD, which features "the music video banned from all major music networks."

Is that just code for "they took one look at us and threw it in the trash"?

I mean seriously, look at these dudes. Sideways caps : yup, definitely still not cool.


Yeah, I'm sure it was your singer's stupid mask that was really controversial. It probably had nothing to do with the fact that rap rock died 6 years ago. Keep fightin' the man, homies. See you on cable access.
