Walk It,Talk It (Feat. Drake)

I appreciate how it's a little authentic to the time, even the host.

(P.S. if ?uesto sees this is the re-release of the show ever gonna happen or is the contracts just getting in the way?)
3002811, Yeah, that was pretty entertaining.

But I'm a sucker for retro shit like that.
3002815, Honestly, no shade..

The music does not sync up with the video in ANY way - like when people take clips from rap songs without a video and cut in clips from another video in it.

I wonder what music was ACTUALLY playing on the set.

It's not my type of music - but good for them being creative.
3002848, agreed. you cant just throw video concepts on any track.

3002884, LOL.......that's the entire point of this video.

It's basically making fun of alllll the videos where they put Soul Train clips up with new Trap songs, since the BPM is just cutting the Disco song in half to make it on beat for Trap.

They are still essentially dancing more on beat than off, but it's made like this on purpose.
3002889, If it's on purpose than I don't see the purpose

If it was supposed to be funny then I didn't get it.

(And I get funny most of the time.)

Note:To be fair 99.9% of the time a rapper laughs at something in their own song I also don't find it funny.

But those Babar books SLAY me - he's wearing a crown!!

agree completely. given that i hadn't heard the track beforehand, it all felt lackluster.

The soul train camera work is spot on. And the doing random shit with their hands and faces...so Soul Train. I enjoyed it. And of course Aubrey leaned into his part all the way and make it even better.
3002852, Appropriation?

3002855, I'm sorry, but a throwback Soul Train Music Video isn't that original.
Posted by Buddy_Gilapagos, Tue Mar-20-18 11:11 AM
I mean how many times have we seen this in music videos since like the 90s?

What show are you referring to?
3002876, ?uest was working on getting Soul Train on a streaming service.
Posted by phemom, Tue Mar-20-18 10:57 PM
Seemed like ?uest was heavily involved into getting the show somewhere and then he never mentioned it again.

I was being inconspicuous to not give away the Migos vid.

Sounds cool. I would love to see episodes that never made it to the DVD compilations.

Not debating you but who else did the Soul Train concept?

I think Shimmy Shimmy Ya had a soul train line circa 1970s theme... I know there are others.
3003057, People been making them since they invented YouTube

3003087, what are they doing that the Afros back in the 90's didn't do?

Migos feel like a Black version of Old Navy trying to appeal
