WARNING: There is quite a bit of swearing at the end due to celebration. I don't care, I got 100% on the hardest song in the game. It's over. Check out my brother's music, he is pretty good i think: www.purevolume.com/storyuntold.
I will be on the next starpower podcast (episode 16), talking about everything having to do with this FC. It'll be published at www.starpowerpodcast.com
No seriously, people if you are that stupid to think that this is fake because im not tilting the guitar for star power: try pressing the select button on your guitar when you want to activate star power instead of tilting
My reaction word for word: holy shit holy shit holy shit holy shit no way no way no way no fucking way oh my god oh my god oh my god holy shit 100 fucking % my hands holy shit holy shit holy shit holy shit that just fucking happened.
The apparent "double-strumming" you hear on the star power chord around 3:24 is me whammying really hard, not strumming.

This is another one in the very early stages, but it's fun to jam with. I messed with it quite a bit before I filmed, but each time it came out drastically different. LOL
I used FL Studio 8 and my Motif XS8 to make this one. The sound I'm using is actually an e-piano (patch is called "Drive EP AS1" on the Motif XS series. I adjusted the distortion and delay to make it sound like it is.
Thanks again for watching and being a subscriber to my vids!!

This was shot on BET Animation and 106 and Park. IT IS A SATIRICAL OBSERVATION ON THE CURRENT RIDICULOUS, OFFENSIVE, AND EMBARRASSING STATE OF THE ONCE NOBLE ART OF HIP HOP. THE RAPPER WHO MADE THE SONG IS ALSO SATIRING THE CURRENT POPULAR RAP MUSIC WHICH IS AN EMBARRASSMENT TO EVERYTHING RAP WAS. WHILE MAKING THIS SOCIAL SATIRE, HE ALSO PROVIDE A POSITIVE MESSAGE AND A SOCIAL COMMENTARY.
African Americans, open your mind. This man is not offending us. He's smaking us in the face and saying Wake Up. This is what they think of us...and the reality is...most of it is true.
Unfortunately I have no connection to the authoring of the video. I merely uploaded it as a show of support and like-mindedness.
I feel that the video was a clever, harsh, striking, and much-needed parody/satire on the current state of hip hop. Hip hop, originated as a black folk style of music, the voice of the innercity. A conscious, aware, if hardened by it's environment, expression of the life of middle/poor-class African Americans and Hispanic/Latino Americans in America. It has, like EVERY style of music before it, finally succumb to commercialization and thus the current POPULAR hip hop is little more than brain-mush over percolating beats. This song highlights that, with the line: "I used to makes song with concepts and shit, but now I wanna go platinum". The irony of that line, says it all.
In addition to being a strong satire/parody, it also instills some very strong positivities: reading, hygiene, ownership of things that cultivate wealth and worth (buy some land), responsibility (raise your kids), etc...concepts that popular hip hop is NOT teaching to our youth anymore.
So it parodies viciously, and instructs what is lacking concurrently.
For this reason, as an African American male who is passionate about the origins of hip hop and a purist of the hip hop form sans commercialization, and as a human being in general worried for our future and our progeny, I couldn't HELP but support the creator of the song and video by uploading it.
