Music

Friday by Rebecca Black is hands down the “Viral Video of 2011” and not in a good way either. In only a few months, her original ‘Friday‘ music video has reached over 167 million views. It’s the most “disliked” video on YouTube,  and we’ve long since lost track of the number of parodies and covers people have done of that song. But Rebecca Black is one hell of a trooper and is back with her latest single, My Moment.

As you’re about to see for yourself, it certainly is… something. 

We’ve got an amazing readership here at Unfinished Man. You guys leave great comments, you’re always emailing us with suggestions for things to check out, and most importantly – most most of what you guys send us is pretty damn awesome; thank you! Maybe hold off on the Russian bride stuff, but anything else is fair game.

So on that note, here’s a video that one of our readers suggested we check out by filmmaker and music composer Trygve Stakkeland. It’s called Street Beatz 2.0, and it’s basically a handful of beats performed in various places around Stavanger, Norway. It’s a simple but interesting clip, and the

Shawty’s Over 9000!! If you have no idea what that means, watch the video above and read the interview below to find out what that means. In the process, you will also learn about Vancouver based rappers, BB & G-Wize who have a unique and versatile set of skills on the microphone. I wanted to say that they are a diamond in the rough but that would be an incorrect statement. These guys don’t need any polishing and will easily wreck the mic. They are two down to earth dudes who are trying to get their foot in the door in the music business.

Unfinished Man: So guys, why don’t you tell us a little bit about yourself and your up bringing?

BB & G-Wize: We’re both best friends who’ve known each other since high school from middle class families. Rapping was something we used to do for fun when we were young, B was the producer/instrumental composer, and G was the main guy who was rapping at the time. Both of us kind of got real good at it, impressing people at talent shows and other venues.. eventually this turned into something we really loved to do and here we are hoping to make something big out of all this.

UM: Boriz and Gamada, how did you guys end up with stage name BB & G-Wize?

Years ago I read the epic Dune series of books by famed author Frank Herbert. From the pages of his books I learned a great many things. I learned how to walk across open stretches of sand to avoid attracting the giant Shai-Hulud, and perhaps more importantly, the Bene Gesserit taught me about the power of music, and the sway it holds over people.

I’ve started to realize that people do in fact enjoy the music they hear on the radio. There’s a good reason it’s called pop, and in a way this music hold sway over a great many people. They continue to listen to it and support (or not support, as is often the case) the “musicians” that create it. But that’s not the point of
