Sweet! Moopjaw rocks it again. A departure from prior efforts too. Nice work.

         

Blaxploitation?

         

Blaxcellent!

         

Oh come on! Is this what music videos are being reduced to at the end of 2009. Randomly edited, locked off shots of kids breakdancing? Blaxploitation indeed. Although dare I say there is not really that much being exploited here except perhaps an easily amused audience. Sweeeeeet!

         

And the dancing sucks!... After seeing a good few decades of dance-based music videos, how the hell does anyone think this is "sweet"

Would anyone think it was cool if the kids were white I dare ask? Would it still have the "sweet" faux-ghetto overtones? Exploitation indeed.

         

lol. You guys are nuts. T'was simple and cute. (Also, performing kids of any colour are funny.)

Wow! that first youtube link is supremely better than the Beni video.

         

Gets boring quick - not a fan of the dancing and insta-video formula.

         

i dig it... although the weird keying of the backgrounds & dodgy sharpness (stills for background insome? shot the kids in a studio?) kind of threw me.

• i think it's easy to get a little carried away on the eploitation arguement, i mean, they're kids, they're MEANT to be cute. and yeah, frankly it WOULD still be cool if the kids were white.

         

I think the blaxploitation comment specifically refers to the kids being black and breakdancing. Ie getting paid on faux 'ghetto, street' cred. At the same time yes, using kids and the cute factor is exploitation as well.

As in exploitation films there usually is not much else that is interesting about the film besides what is being exploited. This is certainly the case here. Maybe I should supersize my previous comment of 'an easily amused audience' to 'exploitation of a stupid audience' because if people are seriously ready to pay this as a good video than the world is sadly being over run with morons.
