This is easily my favorite thing in awhile. How could it not be? Hurricane Chris singing “Halle Berry (She So Fine)” on the floor of the Louisiana House of Representatives. Incredible.
Did you know this was actually the basis for Mr. Smith Goes to Washington? It’s true*. In the future, someone sees this video on SpaceTube, gets the idea for Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, uses their time machine to go back in the past, KILL HITLER, and then writes the screenplay for the 1939 Academy Award winning film. Then they celebrate at the Enchantment Under the Sea Dance. Of course, due to racial intolerance in the country at the time, the writer will have to make Hurricane Chris into a white camp leader for the Boy Rangers. But everything else is almost directly taken from this video, which is why film scholars have been puzzled for years when Jimmy Stewart proclaims in the film’s dramatic fillibuster scene, “In order for a nig like me to spend cash, you gotta bounce like shocks in your ass.” (Via TheDailyWhat.)
*It’s not true.

why they decided to let some guy from the god-awful hell that is shreveport do this rather than one of the numerous awesome bounce artists from new orleans take over the chamber is beyond me. or maybe not, considering that bounce tends to be really vile. either way, this is my legislature, and everything they do is terrible.
is this real life?
i categorically denounce this.
damn we are just ALL ABOUT TIME TRAVEL in 2009 aren’t we?
Also, this is politics? UGH.
Watching this has left me with so many questions…

Whoa. Chill Jenn, they heard you the first time. Also…I thought I was registered for this krap? Why does my comment look like amateur hour. The interwebs are confusing :-/
Great gag at the end.
I like to think it was this guy saying it..
I don’t understand why this happened.
as a native louisianian, i’ve never been prouder
and by proud i mean bowing my head in shame
I have never been more glad to be a former citizen of Louisiana.
oh, pffffft. we louisianians have done WAY more embarrassing shit than this. like elect bobby jindal! or re-electing william jefferson AFTER they found the cash in the freezer! and then there’s that whole KKK murdering a woman in a ritual earlier this year, and that whole situation up in jena…
I’m shocked this many Louisianians read videogum honestly.
This makes sense. Move along.
I’m pretty sure that’s the plot of the time travel movie with Britney.
Was he expecting old people to understand?
Hurricane: “Well, you know, this one the youngstas might know.”
Rep: “Oh, okay, well, let’s see what ya’ got, little guy. Do your thing! Erv, I want to see what this guy’s all about. I’m all ears young man. Take it away”
-Hurricane plays music, sings, raps-
Rep: “Okay, okay, I’m digging it. Oh yeah, ‘Halllleeee BeerrrrryyyY!’ Say, you wouldn’t happen to have a disc on ya would ya? I’d love a copy for me and my wife. We’re still listening to that Silk tha Shocka and Master P tape and haven’t been following your work. It’s quite good.”
Reading the court documents is hilarious. “We honor Hurricane Chris for graduating from a Louisiana high school, having the #5 song in the country (#1 on BET YO!) and having a video currently ranked 23rd on Youtube!”
graduating from a louisiana high school IS an accomplishment. we only manage to graduate like 4 people a year down here.
HC’s surge of WTFness just made my brain levees fail.
I tip my hat to this comment. Sadly, I can only up vote it once.
That’s my state
Holla to my southun’ brotha! Hailin’ from Nola, I am not offended by hip hop in the hiz-house. I am stunned by the suckage. We have some bangin’ artists down here- so why this?
I just want to see the reactions from the lawmakers during this performance. C-SPAN! STAND AND DELIVER!
Uh wha?
