Listening Post

There's nothing less funny than really white guys trying to co-opt hip-hop lingo -- particularly gangsta rap. And yet the level of good-natured goofball mockery that these guys heap on that entire aesthetic -- while still paying homage to its source material -- makes this song and video pure genius.

(This song, by the way, is available as part of the unofficial "soundtrack" to my memoir, Dead Star Twilight. It and the rest of the music from the book can be found here and here, and downloaded from iTunes.)
