No front page love for g mo?

I thought it was a pretty good video.  The animation isn’t stellar, but you have to consider that the song is based on the part of DBZ that everybody who doesn’t know shit about DBZ makes fun of.  You know what I mean, like when people say “DBZ?  Oh, you mean that show where the guy spends 20 episodes charging an attack and another 10 throwing it?”

Yep, that’s what the song is referencing, so you can expect the video to be a little dry in terms of high action fight scenes.  But I’m good with it.  It was cool to see the Twiztid and G-mo in amine form.  Maybe they could do something with this.  We’ll have to see.

Also, that second and third verse are a bit ironic now that certain things have transpired, but it’s whatever.  Good song, good video in my book.

The song is one of my favorites from the album… Never been into dragon ball z.

The video was just… Pointless in my opinion. Seemed like it had nothing to do with the lyrical content.

Kinda like watching an old shitty Godzilla movie.

Kinda cool animation though.

As usual I’m gonna forego formatting and just quote ninjas directly.

“I have to admit I haven’t given the album my full attention, but the whole DBZ gimmick feels a little like a cash grab”

You likely haven’t given G-mo much attention in general. He’s been using DBZ references and iconography for years. It’s more likely that he’s a fan of the show and nerds out by peppering his work with DBZ flavor. Bukshot does this as well.

“The animation isn’t stellar, but you have to consider that the song is based on the part of DBZ that everybody who doesn’t know shit about DBZ makes fun of.  You know what I mean, like when people say “DBZ?  Oh, you mean that show where the guy spends 20 episodes charging an attack and another 10 throwing it?””

Here’s the thing though: DBZ really is that. And I do know shit about DBZ- I watched the entire series, the Japanese version, before the first redub when it was still being censored stateside. I used to have fuckin’ hardsubbed VHS’ you’d have to get off Ebay for too much money. The Freeza saga was like pulling teeth.

As for the animation, it’s about what I expected. Nearsofar as I can tell, this was just one dude working in flash. Those smooth anime frames you see on TV require dozens of Korean animators, so he gets an A for effort there. 

…actually, looking up the animator, I kicked it with this kid at GOTJ last year. He’s a crazy talented artist. Good for him.
