Those of you keen to the wonderfully entertaining world of YouTube sensations may have become familiar with the hilarity of Young Humma and Flynt Flossy's "Lemme Smang It"-- a beautifully low budget synergy between smashing and banging that I was recently introduced to over this past spring break. If you haven't already, watch here: In another track, Mr. Flossy and Mr. Humma bring in Whatchyamacallit to tackle the ever-difficult quandary of whether or not their girls would prefer to have their eggs fried or fertilized, just so they can be sure to please. Definitely not as good of a song, but certainly amusing nonetheless.
Flynt Flossy's solo "Did I Mention I Like To Dance" is also worth watching, if for anything but to take notes on dance moves for future reference.
If there is one thing I love, it is music that doesn't take itself too seriously and is not afraid to mock its own genre. I find this to be especially relevant within the context of hip-hop and rap. There are so many artists out there who try so hard to fit the mold and pump out the next bumping club-banger...that they all just end up sounding the same to anyone with half of a shred of true musical appreciation. I'd personally much rather a casual club-smanger...and these folks' subtle satire delivers exactly what I'm looking for.
Yes, these songs aren't really as dope without the videos flaunting their hilarious dancing, emotionless girls, and fake facial hair. Yes, the novelty of it all may very well be short-lived. But, why not enjoy until you move on?
As a bonus, if you are interested you can download Turquoise Jeep's compilation release here to enjoy the label's other songs including but not limited to: "Not Your Professor But Your Prosexxor" "Sex Syrup" "Cavaties" and "Wifey Boo". The Humma and Flossy songs are the best though. Check out their YouTube channel to watch the accompanying videos.
Cheers.
