Yes. I think Wammo has had the best alternative suggestion: Shihad's 'Run'. That would work.
Yup, that would have been halfway decent for the task. Oh well.

It finally came through. Nice. I wonder how much decent local underground rap is just hiding away on sites like zshare?

Derty Sesh doing a version of Cage's 4' 33" wouldn't be uncalled for either.
Oh you!

the second one is cleverer:
Can't seem to get it to play, more's the pity - media has been "opening" for about four minutes now...

Aesthetics encompass utility: there is no exclusion. I have yet to see an example Paul Litterick has given that doesnt have some utility (like earning $$$ for instance.)
I have on my iPod Kim Hill's 2008 interview with Max Gimblett - Kim noted that Max, not a particularly acquisitive person, depended on monied acquisitive people for his art, to which he responded, yes, of course: "all people trade in their neighbourhood".
The MP3 podcast was up on the RNZN webpage for ages and is well worth a listen, or several - if it's not still there I can always email a copy around.

In defiance of all I said yesterday I sat through the whole video this morning.
Others have said it all before but basically it's a straight rip on Eminem (particularly The Marshall Mathers LP and also his recent 3 O'Clock single and video) without a shred of the black humour or knowingness that partly redeems Eminem's violent vids and lyrics. I probably could have done without that crime victim montage at the start too.
Sorry Robbie, but this particular middle-class white dude doesn't see a real player here to be hating on, just a posturing kid who's probably going to look back on this tasteless horrorshow ripoff and cringe.
you can't tell me that there wasn't a masculinist backlash at work. Dirty Sesh is just the end-game of that particular movement. In that respect, he's the local equivalent of Soulja Boy. It's not pretty.

Ah, the memories... and weirdly enough, twenty years later the foil balloon that five-year-old me was waving around is still intact...

In between mining, Derty Sesh and Paula Bennett it's been a bit of a sobering day on the ole PA system...

I saw a few clips from the video via a 3 News story online. Not keen in the slightest to see more. That's all I have to say at this point.
Glad I didn't click through when Robbie S first posted it, particularly given its repulsive place in that post. "Karma"?

I'm totally ignorant, by choice, of this particular video and song. Is that better than watching it and being disgusted?
Haven't seen it either, but I think in a world where so much revolting shit simply can't be avoided, we're entitled from time to time to trust PAS' collective opinion and dodge the avoidable turds.
