Video: B.G. and Jeff Richter, Pomo Auteurs Extraordinaire

It's difficult to explain how bizarre I find this video from New Orleans hood legend B.G. It is, for all intents and purposes, a low-fi version of Kanye's "Drive Slow" video -- and yet what it lacks in slickly simulacric, hyper-reflective car imagery it makes up for in the mind-bendingly self-referential final vignette, where B.G. raps while standing in front of a huge real-time video reproduction of himself.





As seems to be a running theme with me, I find this infinitely more thought-provoking than it probably should be.
