Just saw this on current and hearing 5 awful hip hop songs in a row made me sad. I guess it's like most everything else in society - the most popular stuff is lowest common denominator crap. But it seems to me like hip hop just continues to devolve into lower quality sh*t year after year. Will we one day look back at the past 15 years of hip hop and wonder, WTF? It's like when rock music went into the abyss in the 80s? (See exhibits A, B and C below if you forgot how bad that sucked).
Aside from that, 'Sergio' has a couple of nice lines in this Current clip
- "she appreciative when he buys her a luxury car"
- "this thing is like the Mulholland Drive of rap videos: no idea what's goin' on"
- "attention Sergio, parentheses: burp jurp"
Exhibit A: While Lion - Wait
Exhibit B: Stryper - Calling on You
Exhibit C: Huey Lewis and the News - I Want a New Drug

Amusing - "Not my kinda space" on Current
The "orgy of ill-advised vanity" line is nice. As is the "OMG. That one's from Jesus."
