In the world of user-generated content, each one of us is capable of becoming an overnight sensation. As we observe, discuss, and analyze Web 2.0, we will start to unravel what it means to live in Web 2.0. But mostly—as this is above all a writing course—from the first day of class, we will compose an exploration of the many forms and types of media that make up our daily experiences. In doing so, we will compose a living record of the what it means to create and compose in Web 2.0.

I chose this video because I recently seen it on my FaceBook news feed and even though I've seen it before I found it funny and worth putting up as my video for homework. It incorporates pseudo-politics mixed in with southern rap. I personally don't enjoy listening to Waka Flocka Flame but I find his music funny in a way, and the remix even funnier.

Eddie, you write, "It incorporates pseudo-politics mixed in with southern rap. I personally don't enjoy listening to Waka Flocka Flame but I find his music funny in a way, and the remix even funnier."
ReplyDeleteWhat do you mean by pseudo-politics? Explain. I don't think it's that political. I think there are other aspects to the remix that stand out to me. Good remix.
I really enjoyed this remix out of all others. I think that the video intended to poke fun at two different things: (1) the original Waka Flocka Flame song and (2) the Obamas. In both ways, I think it succeeded and therefore was effective.
ReplyDeleteAlthough I, too, am not a fan of Waka Flocka Flame, I enjoyed the remix video, even though the basis of the song revolved around the original Flocka Flame song. I also felt that the song portrayed certain racial stereotypes, and I felt that it indirectly threw out a message about a specific race and the behaviors associated with it.
Overall, I enjoyed the humor and wildness behind the remix video.
