Eminem vs. Pitbull

So a while ago I posted about Eminem's new song We Made You, and the awesome video that went along with it. There is also a series of "Making Of" videos on YouTube, so you can see how much work went into it.


They have like 4-5 different sets/scenes, with a pretty big cast, one that includes Dr.Dre (legend) Even with so many complicated plots/themes, the whole shooting takes two days.

On the other hand, Pitbull, another rapper, currently has the #16 spot on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 with his song "I Know You Want Me." Now, I have nothing against Pitbull. Since I'm not a music snob, I admit that his songs are pretty catchy. But here is his "Behind the Scenes" of his music video:


After watching the first eight seconds you'll get the basic idea for the rest of it, and also Part 2. Basically Pitbull is in a nice suit and sunglasses, kind of moving his body from side to side, while a hot girl slinks around him. What a tool.

Hmm this sounds familiar - oh yea, that's what he has been doing for all his music videos! Suit+sunglasses+hot girls. While Eminem is practicing his dance moves and getting in and out of crazy costumes, Pitbull can't even do a simple two-step. He lets all the girls do the dancing instead. This is why Eminem is way more awesome.

Okay so after all that hard work Pitbull does standing around, this is the final result:

Looks like it took a whole two minutes to make. He might as well have hired me and I could have churned up. In fact, he should hire me for all his future videos. I would just loop a clip of him standing there while a girl grinds up against him. BAM. Done in one minute.
