2009 mission statement

in a world where everyone i know around my age uses their blog to post a bunch of dumb bullshit nobody wants to read, i will use mine to publish an important youtube video every day this year (if i don't get bored or lazy). some will be music videos that must be viewed, some will be clips of relevance, some will just be funny, but either way they're clips i think we can all learn a lot from. sometimes i will talk a bit about them, but mostly i plan to just let the clips speak for themselves. we will start things off the right way - by posting what i honestly believe to be

THE BEST CLIP YOUTUBE CLIP, PERIOD (as of right now)

by the best youtube clip, i mean the best clip that's "inherent"/popularized because of it's appearance on youtube. therefore a clip of the part in citizen kane when they find out that rosebud is a sled or whatever would be out of the running, so would the r. budd dwyer suicide video because that shit was being passed around long before youtube was ever conceived. this video, however, i believe is honestly the greatest, funniest, and most entertaining of any video popular solely because of youtube. you tell me if you think i'm wrong. i now present to you... the iron mic freestyle challenge: eli porter vs. envy.









things to watch for:

- marv-o rubbing on j-dub - YOU LOOK GAY HOMEBOY
- envy going for the jugular right off the bat with his line about eli being a cripple
- envy sucks
- every second the camera is on eli porter of the class of 2005
- the look on envy's when eli comes right out and calls envy a "soft nigga" after envy wasted his whole verse rapping clean
- eli's puppet-on-a-string hand motions
- everytime i watch this video i pretty much notice something different and amazing... recently i came to this conclusion though, after months of thinking something different - when eli pauses i think it's actually because someone off camera turned the beat off and told him (inaudibly to us) to stop swearing... hence eli goes "OH", then sits there for a minute. i always thought that he just paused too long so they shut the beat off and gave him a chance to try again. i dunno, maybe everyone else realized what was really going on from the get-go and i'm just an idiot, who knows.
- eli's best lines: "bisexual bridal shower", "gay parade", "running from the cat"
- the look on eli's face at the end of the rap as if he's been possessed by a demon for the last 45 seconds and has just been released from the fiend's grasp
- somebody off camera yelling at eli about swearing to which eli fraudulently declares, "I SAID FREAKIN"
- the judges cracking up, with one even declaring "HE SAID BISEXUAL BRIDAL SHOWER!"... even marv-o can't regain his composure on time
- only the bus gets it right. fuck j-dub and a-14.
