Videodrone: Is “Yodel-Rap” The Trend To Watch Out For In 2007?
The final entry in the year-end-review sweepstakes (we think) comes from Oh Word, who, as part of their 2006 run-down, put a big, rusty nail in the “user-generated content” bubble with their list of the Top 5 Hilariously Bad YouTube Freestyles. Solja, the aspiring hip-hop artist you see above, nabs a spot on their list, thanks to what the Oh Word guys call his “excessive use of bizarre onomatopoeia”; be sure to stick with it until about 45 seconds in, when he starts to–no kidding–drop “yodel-ay-hee-hee”s into his rhymes. Somewhere, Jewel is watching this clip intently and plotting her next career move.
