Video: Cadence Weapon - "Real Estate" video

Saturday, October 11, 2008 Here's a video for Cadence Weapon's Real Estate. It's pretty neat, but I sort of despise how it reminds me that I've yet to get around to listening to all of the guy's recent LP. Oops. : Click Here If Video Is Not Visible : : SOTO - Episode 70 : This week's show has music from the Happy Hollows, Auxes, the Dead Trees, Lowry, Kinetic Stereokids, Kyle Andrews and the Cold War Kids. You know that's a lineup [...]

Cadence Weapon has posted the new video from his Anti- debut, Afterparty Babies .

Cadence Weapon è il nome d'arte di uno dei migliori rapper canadesi. Il suo vero nome è Rollie Pemberton ed è una specie di figlio d'arte visto che suo padre, Teddy Pemberton, è stato uno dei primi dj che ha sdoganato l'hip hop in Canada. A marzo dello scorso anno ha pubblicato su Anti- il suo secondo album intitolato Afterparty Babies e nonostante qui da noi sia passato in sordina è davvero un ottimo lavoro. Mischia beat e synth e in certi episodi sembra il fratello minore e meno compiaciuto dei N.E.R.D. Se avete [...]

Convinced that the housing bubble-burst has finally bottomed out? Well, has Cadence Weapon got an offer for you: "Real Estate", from this year's Afterparty Babies , finds the Edmonton rapper waxing eloquent in some juicy sub-prime sales pitches. The video features Rollie Pemberton (who, full disclosure, has written for Pitchfork in the past) decked out in varying degrees of ridiculous outfits, posing in front of scenic beach and mountain backdrops, and offering you, the gullible first-time buyer, some too-good-to-be-true deals. He even hocks some ice [...]

Still doing his part to put Canadian hip-hop on the map, Edmonton native Cadence Weapon has released the first clip from his March release, Afterparty Babies. In the video for ...

Edmonton's Cadence Weapon, aka ex-P4K scribe Rollie Pemberton, tackles the buying and selling of space in Afterparty Babies 's "Real Estate." The video starts with a literal read of the track title, Pemberton as real estate agent, he and his greedy-ass cohorts "selling real estate" (via 1-888-12-REMIX and 1-888-DEAL-2DAY), but then double entendres and wordplay takeover. We're told "real estate sales are the oldest turf war," but are also pointed in the direction of beautiful views, large units, and gorgeous back lots that look a bit different than the usual condo listings.

Afterparty Babies never got as much love as I felt it deserved. It's a shame, because Cadence is fantastic. He was great at Hot Freaks! and he's great on record. Now I can add a third: he's great in videos. "Real Estate" gets a great video that couldn't have come at a better time, what [...]

How apt is that chorus in today's economic climate? Like those Anglo Irish Bank fatcats who sold their shares before the bailout. How convenient. Hey, this is a music blog, I can say what I like about politics here. Roll with the winners. Jenna pointed this video out, Thanks Jenna !
