Absolutely brilliant and genius rapper Watsky is on Warped Tour this year, and I couldn’t be more stoked about it. Â He recently announced that he’s releasing a new album on August 12th, called “All You Can Do”. Â I immediately went to watch the music video for “Whoa Whoa Whoa”- featuring none other than Bo Burnham. Â Two adorable and wonderful white male rappers (one more comedic that the other) in one video? Awesome.
This new track is heavily lyric-driven, and there’s a lot less focus on the background beats, which helps to accentuate George’s words and voice. Â It’s just stunning. Â He starts with, “I’m a phenomenon, and I gotta bring pain in The Octagon. Â When I wanna spit game at a soccer mom I get it quicker than the left lane in the Autobahn, fast. Like Ramadan, and I battle young padawans all the damn day.” Â It’s so quick that you could nearly miss it, but his words are fascinating. Â Also, how does he rap so dang fast?
This indie rapper/slam poet not only made the auditory experience of this video great, but visually, it’s really incredible. Â The editing and effects are impossibly smooth, with the replay affect making what are only a few shots in the grand scheme of things able to fill up the whole tune, and it’s still fun to watch. Â The way that they repeat split seconds messes with your head, keeping your eyes glued to the screen. Â It’s so well done and watching the video, it not only goes along with the song perfectly, but enhances it, too.
