			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s the mother flippin’ Rhymenocerous and the Hiphopopotamus.</p>
<p><object width="425" height="353"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/FArZxLj6DLk"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/FArZxLj6DLk" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="353"></embed></object></p>
<p>The lyrics (via <a href="http://www.wmhartnett.com/2007/07/20/more-hiphopopotamus-vs-rhymenoceros-hbo-version-lyrics/" title="More Hiphopopotamus vs. Rhymenoceros: HBO version lyrics">William M. Hartnett</a>):</p>
<blockquote><p>I&#8217;m the mother flippin&#8217; Rhymenocerous<br />
My beats are fly and the birds are on my back<br />
And I&#8217;m horny<br />
I&#8217;m horny<br />
If you choose to proceed you will indeed concede<br />
Cos I hit you with my flow<br />
The Wild Rhino Stampede.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m not just wild, I&#8217;m trained,<br />
Domesticated<br />
I was raised by a rapper and rhino that dated<br />
And subsequently procreated<br />
That&#8217;s how it goes<br />
Here’s the Hiphopopotamus<br />
The hip hop hippo</p>
<p>They call me the Hiphopopotamus<br />
My lyrics are bottomless</p>
<p>They call me the Hiphopopotamus<br />
Flows that glow like phosphorous<br />
Poppin&#8217; off the top of this esophagus<br />
Rockin&#8217; this metropolis<br />
I&#8217;m not a large water-dwelling mammal<br />
Where did you get that preposterous hypothesis?<br />
Did Steve tell you that, perchance?<br />
Steve.</p>
<p>My rhymes and records they don’t get played<br />
Because my records and rhymes they don&#8217;t get made<br />
And if you rap like me you don&#8217;t get paid<br />
And if you roll like me you don&#8217;t get laid.</p>
<p>My rhymes are so potent that in this small segment<br />
I made all of the ladies in the area pregnant<br />
Yes, sometimes my lyrics are sexist<br />
But you lovely bitches and hoes should know I&#8217;m trying to correct this.</p>
<p>Other rappers dis me<br />
Say my rhymes are sissy.</p>
<p>Why? Why? Why?<br />
What?<br />
Why exactly?<br />
What? Why?<br />
Be more constructive with your feedback, please. Why?<br />
Why?</p>
<p>Why, because I rap about reality?<br />
Like me and my grandma drinking a cup of tea?<br />
There ain&#8217;t no party like my nanna&#8217;s tea party.<br />
Hey! Ho!</p>
<p>I’m the motherflippin&#8217;<br />
I’m the motherflippin&#8217;<br />
I’m the motherflippin&#8217;</p>
<p>Who’s the motherflippin?</p>
<p>I’m the motherflippin&#8217;<br />
I’m the motherflippin&#8217;<br />
I’m the motherflippin&#8217;<br />
Motherflippin&#8217;</p></blockquote>
<p>This one is up there with <a href="/2007/07/12/flight-of-the-conchords-if-youre-into-it-cocos-song-and-part-time-model/" title="Flight of the Conchords">my other three favorite songs</a> from the first season. While not nearly as catchy musically, it&#8217;s every bit as clever as a video, and clearly an unmistakable homage to early the Beastie Boys sight and sound. A definite keeper. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ll admit I was way too into GI Joe back in my youth, so when I saw this first clip earlier today, I nearly fell out of my chair. Even better that I found it on the <a href="http://www.beastieboys.com/" title="Beastie Boys blog">Beastie Boys blog</a>. You might want to sit down for this: </p>
<p><strong>Fenslerfilm GI Joe PSA 15 &#8211; computer</strong></p>
<p><object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/7g__E2z3kBA&#038;rel=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/7g__E2z3kBA&#038;rel=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object></p>
<p>A little searching on YouTube tonight (there are at least 25 different PSAs) came up with two more instant classics:</p>
<p><strong>Fenslerfilm GI Joe PSA 01 &#8211; mimimimimi</strong></p>
<p><object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/zt_KfBaRWxs"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/zt_KfBaRWxs" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object></p>
<p><strong>Fenslerfilm GI Joe PSA 25 &#8211; old school</strong></p>
<p><object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/TNwxv6TgsuU"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/TNwxv6TgsuU" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object></p>
<p>They&#8217;re just plain wrong on every level, yet so unbelievably perfect and precise. Admirably, it&#8217;s restrained without going over the top, and obviously weird without being absolutely bizarre. It pushes the edge, but remains well-balanced. As for the original cartoon animation, wow&#8230; it&#8217;s awful. How did I watch that show? I always loved those PSAs tho, &#8220;and knowing is half the battle.&#8221;</p>
<p>You can also see them all, in higher quality, on website of their creator, <a href="http://www.fenslerfilm.com/" title="Eric Fensler">Eric Fensler</a>. </p>
<p>And yes, I realize this confirms your suspicions that I have the comedic sensibilities of a 12 year old, but I don&#8217;t care. </p>
