So a student just showed me this video. He knows that I'm into watches and he figured I might enjoy the song. To be honest, I'm speechless for the first time in a while now. I've never seen this one before and thought you might "enjoy" it as well... Here are some parts of the lyrics: No,Really?! Are they actually being serious?! Wow, all other watches "tick-tock", only "Rollies" glide... Ok, you got me. You're not being serious. The text is pretty... Limited. And where are all the Rollies? Certainly not on their wrists?! Why do a song and a video about Rolex then? It seems I'm getting too old to understand these things... Here's the video:
Barf. I know I risk sounding like a 50-something year old bitching about 'kids today' or 'music today'. I'm a semi-professional musician and am acutely aware of the hypocrisy I risk by complaining about styles I don't play or enjoy. Whatever....this kind of crap has zero appeal to me. It sounds so over-processed with lyrics razor thin in content value. It's like the 'musical' equivalent of electrocution. I am sorry kiddies, but if this is what you listen to and what inspires you, we, or rather you, are doomed. I still buy new music and am open to fresh musical ideas. But they need to meet a certain standard of quality. This ain't it. Good thing the rappers haven't found a way to screw up the name Omega..
I'm rater young and I have a deep appreciation for hip-hop music, but this is just pure garbage. The more Morons will sing about a Brand or see it as sign of success, the less likely I'm to ever buy it.
In case anyone was wondering what a "dab of ranch" was: dab of ranch diamonds on an object like a watch or a chain: I just got a watch with a dab of ranch. I just got a new chain with a dab of ranch. I just hit the mall and got a designer belt and a wrist band with a dab of ranch.
