Both solid artists, one of the hyphy persuasion, noticeably toned down from the Technicolor Thizzcoat he was initially known for, and the other, of the Timb and Yankee cap persuasion, struggling to keep NY Hip Hop relevant with his Slaughterhouse brethren. On the real, I delayed watching the video for "Hit Me On Twitter" by Fab cuz I couldn't bear for it to be corny. I'm sensitive about my Bay shit. I was relieved to find out that it was fun and lighthearted, like a song dedicated to a social networking phenomena should be.
And Joell Ortiz's was highly-entertaining and made the most for its low budget - which is smart nowadays since we're not into seeing all that money wasted in a recession on another played out rap video. Speakin' of played-out, "hollering" at "Hip Hop" like she's a beezy from around the way that got broke down and crackpiped has been done. What you gon' talk about in 10 years - the results of her paternity tests on Maury Povich? Man...
It's no "I Used To Love H.E.R." but because Joell is such a natural lyricist, it was entertaining and enjoyable.
