Facebook vs. Myspace. I confess, I like Facebook, especially after I checked my profile this morning!
I received a video message on my FunWall (a place where your friends can post videos on your page) from my sister. It was a clip of comedian Aries Spears (MadTV) at a radio station doing impressions of rappers LL Cool J, Snoop Dogg, DMX and Jay-Z.
During this radio show, the DJ asked Spears to do one of these impressions, but he decided to give us a medley.
I was completely blown away!
The first part of this clip Spears shifts from the saucy, lip-licking LL, to the smooth, west side swagger of Snoop D-O-G-G. Not only are his impressions right on, but his improvised rapping is incredible. "Snoop" then calls on DMX to join the show. Spears growls, barks and grunts as only the true DMX does.
Last, but most certainly not least, Jay-Z enters the mix. As a fan of Jay-Z, I was not aware of how different his voice is. While a strong rapper, Jay-Z's voice, well, isn't. It is high pitched, kind of whiny and buried with his Brooklyn accent. The second time I watched this video I closed my eyes and forgot it wasn't Jay-Z. Again, Spears "flowed" as naturally as most professional rappers do and I caught myself thinking, he's really good!
So, as for Aries Spears, if comedy doesn't work out, he should try rapping. I'd buy his CD!

I really like this post. But I think I would maybe change the first paragraph and take out the part about myspace. I started reading this blog thinking that I was going to be reading about the comparison of the two only to find that it was all about a video.
I think this post would do great with just talking about the awesomeness of facebook's videos'.
