the obligatory "Can't Tell Me Nothing" video post
Why the hell hasn't anyone i've read yet has mentioned that Will Oldham is also in this video for Kanye West's "Can't Tell Me Nothing"?! It looks a little odd seeing him playing Flavor Flav to someone's Chuck D.
No, i'm not well-versed enough in hip-hop to come up with something more timely than a reference almost two decades old. Then again, no matter how much it amuses me this moment, this video ain't much more than another riff than something Weird Al already explored with that Amish Paradise bit.
Even though i have most of Oldham's albums, and probably qualify as a devoted fan in some respect, i missed this entirely. I didn't know who Zach Galifianakis was either until i looked him up just now. Now i get Oldham doing the stand-up comedian thing a bit better.
Also, didn't Oldham do some R. Kelly covers? .. oh yeah... Superwolf did "Ignition" and it was sort of awesome in a puzzling way.

You've told me something! When I watched the video I thought the guy looked familiar but I just figured he was selected because he fit a type we're familiar with.
Good video makes okay song better. Funny that. I tried watching the real video and couldn't do it. Bad video made okay song mediocre.
