Ball so hard, since we here
It’s only right that we be fair
Psycho, I’m liable to go Michael
Take your pick, Jackson, Tyson, Jordan, Game 6

If you call him today, this is what plays:

Wonder Girls – Nobody

Other than the bathroom humor (which Koreans seem to love), I really liked the retro-ness of the video.  No, the song doesn’t match him.  Still, the chorus is catchy and I find myself singing it after getting off the phone with him.

I don’t know about you, but it looks like a first year design student thought up this concept.  Somebody was a little too happy with the Photoshop brushes, wheren’t they?  Hey, what are some ways to make this a cool hip-hop album?  I know!  Let’s throw in the words “U Go Girl” and “Blaze Up.”  Cause I’m sure that’s something Rihanna would have on her album.

Hey, I’m not totally hating on her.  She’s got a great body and is beautiful, but… It’s Hyorish?  The name is almost as bad as her first hit, “Just One Ten Minutes.”  English speakers were cringing everywhere.

Here’s a teaser video for her album.

They will be performing at SXSW (pronounced south by southwest) in Austin, Texas. If you know nothing about SXSW, here is a documentary they made about the music festival, which happens mid-March.

This picture looks ridiculous to me. Taboo (on the left) is the only one that doesn’t seem to be embarrassed to be wearing those Korean hats and holding the fans.

In his words, “the worst rap song, video, lyrics ever! I can’t stop watching it.” EVER? You be the judge. I will say this though, I love the crying – it’s so bad, it’s good. Plus, who is the invisible friend he raps to, as he looks to our left? I could only stand to watch half of this:

It’s a terrible song. Plus, there’s nothing American about the artist, other than the fact that she works in Las Vegas. Her name just screams CANADA!

I hope Obama doesn’t make the same mistake.
