I wonder how much Yuga Labs paid for these hip hop legends for this.
I nearly fell off my chair when I saw the music video.
Eminem and Snoop Dogg did a new music video for BAYC.
It debuted at NFT.NYC months back but it was fresh.
They literally turned into BAYC characters and rapped about NFTs, metaverse, weed and Long Beach.
Old but still keeping it relevant.
Hip-hop legends who still gets attention and eyeballs.
Combined, Em and Snoop is nearly a century old.
They been through the whole she-bang of east coast vs west coast, drugs and gun toting, gangster rap era and still emerged fresh as a bagel on Monday morning.
At 49 and 50, they cannot possibly be rocking with the new-age rappers on TikTok and twerking around like they use to right?
Wrong.
They don’t twerk, but they do spit some amazing rhymes and know how society works.
A few lessons from the some of the greatest rappers of our generation.
If you need to know, Eminem is 49 and Snoop is 50 years old.
Keeping it real.
They don’t pretend to be who they are not.
They stick to what they know and love.
Snoop and his weed and his amazingly chill demeanour.
Em and his fiery rhymes and high quality of work.
For those who follow Em and Snoop, this is a stamp of approval.
A vote of confidence from their idols that NFTs are here to stay.
Does it mean you have to buy a Bored Ape to be relevant and cool?
Nah.
At least know what’s up and see how NFTs have progressed over the years.
I don’t know if they were paid for this but I do know what it means for NFTs.
That it is going mainstream and permeating into rap culture too.
Will it stick?
Does it matter?
What matters is that people from different industries, genres, walks of life are embracing and dipping their toes into NFT culture now.
Why are they doing this?
Maybe they own some NFTs and like to make a song about it.
Maybe they were paid handsomely for it.
Maybe their kids persuaded them to do it.
Forget the scams, shills and scares in the NFT world for a moment.
Let’s appreciate NFTs for what they really did.
Snoop Dogg and Eminem will bring their Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) NFTs to the VMAs this Sunday, performing from inside Yuga Labs’ upcoming metaverse game “Otherside.”
That is bringing crypto, blockchain, art, online meme culture and the metaverse to the ordinary folks who would otherwise never heard of it.
For anything worthy to grow and blossom, you need the initial hype, eyeballs, interest and attention before talent and creativity will go to work and really bring it to the next level.
Rap has its culture.
Dancing has its culture.
Electric cars has it culture.
So why not NFTs?
It may be the bear market now and NFT sales have definitely withered.
But let’s see if where NFT culture will go in time to come.
