Get excited, urlbots -- Denny Blaze is back in the game with a new(ish) rap video! Not familiar? We'll excuse it if you excuse our Wikipedia lazyblogging:
Denny Blaze, commonly known by his stage name The Average Homeboy, is a rap artist made famous for a demo tape produced in the late 1980s featuring his single The Average Homeboy. The video was widely rejected by record labels and allegedly sat within a box at an MTV Studio for 17 years until an employee discovered the video then uploaded it to youtube. Within two weeks the video was downloaded an estimated 1 million times.
Boom, internet history. Now on to the good stuff. Here's the infamous demo video:
And here's "THE CURRENT AVERAGE HOMEBOY...18 years later," a video uploaded to the official T.H.A. YouTube account a little over a week ago, in which Denny "knocks on your computer" to discuss YouTube, middle class life and his goal to become the most downloaded rapper EVER. Then he painstakingly recreates his original video to show off some sweet digital recording, vastly improved rap skills, and how well he's aged. Or something. He even talks smack about his "million views." Don't mess with this guy, beefing rappers -- just behold the glory of old Denny Blaze remixing young Denny Blaze:
What we would give to be an internet superstar in 18 years, Average Homeboy (and yes, iTunes really is blazin' right now). He has a whole EP for six bucks! Sorry, Bill-O, you may get bumped from the commute playlist after all.
