Your Moment of Zen: Bangs the Great “Take U to da Movies”
Posted by Miss Info under good for me , laugh with , new music , videos[37] Comments
There’s alot of aggro in the hip hop atmosphere, so just to lighten the mood a bit, I have to share this gem that I spotted over at Crunktastical. Snicker all you want, this video by Bangs the Great, “Take U to da Movies” is 369k views and growing, gull!
But seriously, I love this guy’s wide-eyed enthusiasm. As Fresh says, “Get you some, (bleep)!”

this guy’s flow is almost identical to soulja boys….sounds like they are reading the lyrics off smoking in the boothe

the ill thing about it is, he’s probably a pretty dope rapper in his native tongue.

add a “burr” here and a “well damn” there and he’s got a hit….. hell if he adds his equally talented friend Vitamin MC and do the remix over a zaytoven track he may end up on a popstars single

at the end of the day. people just wana be entertained. call it wack, call it a joke…
shit is mad funny n from the views at least his getting a reaction.
i’d consider signing him and turning him into a rap-comedy act.

You dont even know when you are being racist
thousands of dope struggling artists and Mcs in Africa that would give any american artist a run for their money if given a chance, but who gets 369k views and more promotion on missinfo ?
Bangs the great eh ?
as long as you get a good laugh, who cares, right
and some even deceive themselves into thinking, oh we are not laughing at him, we are laughing with him
do you even stop to think what impression the world would have of the artistic community in america if all the world got to see was soulja boy ??
enjoy

um, zing. there are thousands of dope artists here who I’ve never heard of either. None of that has to do with racism. Some vids go viral and gain a following. There’s humor here, but its obvious that Bangs gets the humor. In his interview clip, he seems very aware about how basic the idea of taking a girl to the movies is in the larger scheme of things. We laugh at alot of people, local, national, international. We’ve laughed at Soulja Boy…and more often not laughed but scoffed.
don’t try to make something negative that is not.
at least not here.

Damn, I watched his video last week, ‘My special girl’ and laughed my ass off. I thought it was funny. But Damn Zing what a way to make me feel like a douchebag. He does kinda have a point miss info. But its not technically racist, He is playing a character, or caricature. Its like a ‘hahaha look at that funny talking foreigner rapping’. But at the end of the day he Will give real african artist a bad rep. and for that i’m sorry I laughed my ass off.

“We laugh at alot of people, local, national, international.”
Thanks, missinfo, that is exactly my point.
I dont have no poblem with ppl laughing at an “artist” like this, whether its an african or asian or american or whatever…..after all, we Africans have a sense of humour too.
My point is, if i could remember the last time i saw a REAL artist from Africa get any kind of promotion or video rotation on hiphop blogs like this one, I wouldnt have no problem at all.
So, sorry for being a spoil sport, but
As an artist from Africa, i find it disrespectful that the artist that people are first exposed to, as an example of African hiphop, is someone to laugh at/with.
As an African, i find it racist.
After all, missinfo, you cannot tell me how many people are sitting there watching this video, thinking, look at these funny africans.
Which wouldnt have been a problem if the real artists were equally represented too, cos we like funny videos too.
we laugh at soulja boy videos too, but we cant forget that the same community that gave us soulja boy, also gave us Nas, and Jay, and Rakim and so forth

have to admit i kinda agree with zing’s point.. my first instinct when i saw this was “Sweet another youtube vid of a black person making a fool of himself that white people can laugh at..” if he’s aware that its a joke then thats kinda ok but still
