Lil Kim Is On The Cutting Edge Of 2003 Internet Culture

"Download" video, you guys:

Holy shit. MySpace and "Top 8" references? Fine. But cybersex? I am pretty sure cybersex ended when Jobe Smith went back to VSI and completed the final stage of his evolution, projecting himself into the mainframe computer and becoming pure energy in the neural net. And don't even get me started on "he's a thug so I hit him on his gmail." That joke is too clever for Lil Kim by half, and the worst part is that it doesn't even make any sense. There is absolutely nothing gully about a free email service provider.

T-Pain's singing avatar was a nice touch, though. When life gives you a guest artist who refuses to show up to the music video shoot, make singing avatars of lemonade! (Thanks for the tip, Joe.)

Jesus. Why did Lil Kim give a picture of MJ to her plastic surgeon?

In her defense, wasn't she in jail during that lag? She's being reintegrated into the society that she left, not the society that exists. It's just like The Shawshank Redemption, but with more Auto-Tune and rhinoplasty.

"Floppy disk" as a metaphor for penis!
That's like cutting edge of 1983 internet culture.

2:52 and the cyber-surfing "dance," but this isn't near as bad (not saying much) as Paul Wall's "I got the Internet going nuts" video. ughh.

That white guys hair is on the cutting edge of 1993 hairstyles. And major LOLs, Lil Kim owns an Acer.

are these Acer brand product placements? it seems like a pretty obscure, low-end computer brand for a R&B video.

ACER?!

This is like the opposite of Parks and Rec. using macbooks. Seriously, I'm down with 'computer love' (as I believe is a common term among no one and never was) but I'll need at least a fuckin' VAIO so I can masturbate in style.

Gmail as in G as in Gangsta. It makes sense, but you have to have been conscious during the last decade or so.

The dude and 3:20 looks like he's looking at 2girls1cup, and i like how the black guys are all "yo homies! check up this fine beeotch!" and the white guy is all sophisticated and drinking champagne.

(P.S. to Gabe, "thug" is also black lady slang for a good looking guy)

note to lil' kim:

"he said he want to explore me like the internet"

apparently, he has not already explored the internet, otherwise he wouldn't want to keep exploring. because the internet is pretty fucking gross. and so, based on the simile he's creating, lil' kim is pretty fucking gross.

it's the transitive property. math.

Don't be so insulting Gabe, T-Pain is not a .gif, he's an amateur flash animation.
