What is your take on this video....

[Hyde Parke]

I think the difference would be that everyone knows an actor is acting and playing a roll. Music is not the movies. In hip-hop where "street cred" and "keeping it real" is supposed to be the fabric of an emcee's lyrics, it's very wack imo...not to mention insincere and contradictory. It's not like he is just telling a story in a couple songs. This is the image that he wants his whole career to revolve around and it's a fake image, which makes it worse.

he knows, he was just displaying sarcasm..Really though, its up to the listener to choose what material they wish to listen to, regardless of how you feel about the content.

i couldn't tell if it was sarcasm or if he was serious. lol. my apologies playmaker.

I agree, to each his own i suppose.

That's a beautiful video and song. I have never heard of Plies though...

 

[And Step]

Plies is like everybody else. Full of contradictions. Most of us do things that are contradictory every day, we are not public figures though.

 

[Chike]

I just noticed something.... is he hailing hitler in the first picture of the video? wtf?

The sign of love

LMAO at his album being called "The Realist."

 

[The Lonious Monk]

..... I know, should be in the reason. But honestly 90% of that room are bunch of fuckin idiots and I want real opinions about the video and the message not Plies.

Quick Description, it's a video to go along to Plies "Why u hate me" track, could posted just a song but I think the video for the short amount it is also sends a strong message.

Even though I wish it was done by someone who won't release it then two weeks later release videos about him being a goon and what not, but I aint gone lie shit had me choked up a little. It's a shame this shit won't make it onto TV though.

I would guess that the answer posed in this song could be at least partially answer by presenting any of Plies' other songs and noting that most white people probably think that song represents every black person.

Imagine Kurt Franklin, in the hood, with his short man's complex and gold teeth....
