Quantcast



Normally we might skim over the music video above or save it for a Weekend Destructainment, but considering that just happened and we're all up in the listening to music anyway with dtunes, it's getting its own story. I've never heard of Pato Pooh or Adam Tensta, but their song Follow Me has a catchy, and somewhat chiptune sound to it, and their video is jam packed full of awesome retro gaming references.

I don't know how cool it is to rep "Stockholm City," but I do know it's cool to rep Mega Man, Super Mario Bros. 3, Ice Climbers, Star Fox and so many other retro games it's hard to count them all. It's also cool to lay down a line like "Blow in the cassette so mother-f*ckers know the games on." Except its not a cassette it's a cartridge. Maybe he's not so cool. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt though because the video has the Duck Hunt dog in a sideways baseball cap. Whether you like the song or not you have to give mad props to whoever put the video together.

That was a well put together video. My favorite videogame related rap still goes to Del's Protoculture: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_owLgOBTng. The lyrics to that song blow my mind every time.

Great video, but the rhymes are pretty average.

Yeah, once I realized that he was able to cram Power Glove, Dreamcast, Rival Schools, Doom, Zelda, Panzer Zwei, Xenogears, etc. into a song then my mind was blown and I was like O_O.

Adam Tensta is a Swedish rapper. Named after a part of stockholm called Tensta... which is very uncool. The song is actually allright, but dropping names of different stockholm suburbs hasn't been cool since 92.

But DAMN that video is awesome!

The clip was pretty cool , but being the Hip-Hop aficionado that I am , the lyrics we're pretty bland. (Like most of Modern HipHop I might add)

My wife just heard me playing this and asked if one might call it "Chip-Hop"
I never thought it would happen, actually. Seems an odd mix, but it works. And yeah, I'd have to agree that the lyrics are pretty weak.

As someone who has lived in Stockholm, I can assure you that is is about as gangsta as suburban Minnesota.

Someone should really take these Swedish Rappers and drop them off in Detroit, Chicago, or New York City. I think that would give them some perspective.

So many nods. I'm amazed that they even slipped a Chocolate Rain ref in there. Musically, not bad, might look into more. Really liked Tensta's rhymes, but I like a quick lyric. Still not quite so high on my list as Cocoa Brovaz' Super Brooklyn:

@Edgar Alan Poe: Wrong! pato means duck

Anyways, yeah, music is decent, the video is an awesome retro tribute but it stands above other simply for doing what ALL of us wanted to do with the duck hunt dog right at the very end

Ok, Fisrt of all, yes Pato means Duck.

BUT! Pato Pooh is Chilean :3 He's living and producing music in Sweeden, and singing in English :3

Finally, Pato is the short for Patricio (Patrick)

And I'm proud of that guy, VIVA CHILE MIERDA!

I thought this was pretty cool. Mostly the music and the video. The actual rapping was decent enough to go along with it though.
