The other day someone asked me why I let my son watch the children’s program Yo Gabba Gabba! I responded that it’s the only show that captivates him and that I can also tolerate. I started to go into the musicality of the segments and then was cut off to complaints of low production value, being able to see the zippers on the costumes and how the “monsters” don’t even move their lips. What struck me though is that, that’s actually another reason why I appreciate the show. It’s nice to have to employ one’s imagination. And especially for my son who I hope learns a thing or two about conjuring images and combining different elements and implied meanings to form a whole picture. Hyper-reality is cool too (ask people vying for the Hurt Locker to win Best Picture), but that’s not the end all of creative production.
So yeah, along those lines, here’s a great amateur video covering four tracks from Dillon’s “Cupid’s Revenge: The Ain’t Shit Suite EP”. I’ll take this over a wannabe Hype Williams every time. Oh yeah, and the productions bumps as well.
Batsauce on the beats, Dillon on the words & video.
