We’re not too sure what a Justin Bieber is but the new video from Aziz Ansari’s foul-mouthed alter ego Raaaaaaaandy (eight A’s, count ‘em) is pretty darn terrifying. Following first single “Aaaaaaaangry” (eight A’s, count ‘em) a LOL-rap that ridiculed Hip Hop’s brightest stars in the most funny-cause-it’s-true way possible, Raaaaaaaandy’s second single “Don’t Fuck With The Bieb” takes aim at a tween bubblegum pop star who allegedly stole Raaaaaaaandy’s beats.
In case that highly unlikely scenario isn’t ridiculous enough there’s also cameos by Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ Nick Zinner, TV On The Radio’s Dave Sitek and the most sickening animal-related revenge since The Godfather. Lesson? Don’t mess with Justin Bieber cause he ain’t playing.
Jay-Z is as much of a prolific New York City icon as the Yankees or the Statue Of Liberty. He waxed poetic on his much loved home city in his Grammy Award-winning tribute “Empire State Of Mind”, and now he’s taking his pubic affection for NYC one step further with a brand new documentary that is being released in partnership with ABSOLUT VODKA: “ABSOLUT NY-Z”.
Shot in black and white and directed by Danny Clinch, the main narrative of the film follows the journey on and off the stage in the lead up to the Answer the Call benefit concert that the rapper held to raise money for families of New York City firefighters and police who were killed during the September 11 terrorist attacks in 2001. The footage also features Jay-Z speaking about growing up in New York and about the city being the muse behind his art.
The film premiered at Madison Square Garden at his concert on Wednesday 3 March, but it will soon be available online for anyone to look at – via a joint venture between ABSOLUT VODKA, Facebook and Madison Square Garden. All you need to do is become a fan of ABSOLUT on facebook where the video will be launched on 22 March.
