Creative album.
Who rocks the show so it’s good to go?
Put the money in the bank and tell the crowd thanks
(Come on, jamboree. Nickel and dime, music machine)
Even if it’s a tough pill to swallow
Entertainers, role models
(Cow bells, tambourines. Somebody’s listening)
I’m not really surprised. I like it.
It’s interesting to see so how much more criticism a christian artist must face. I’m not surprised that it finds its way into Mr. Zappin’s music and videos. What interesting shibboleths the cultural divide has created in America.
This video is brilliant…
I do find it annoying however that I can’t buy the CD until December!
BOO!
can’t wait for the CD to come out, man.
anybody know what the chorus says?
Obviously he is representing how sex and drugs/alcohol may seem fun like a big “jamboree” but eventually they take over your life and kills your true self. This song is showing what happens when you have no self control. He says at the beginning “sex, drugs, or self control” to represent the choice people have to make between choosing one of these options.
If you look at the story, the women seem to represent the lifestyle many fall into while famous.
Always hanging around him, getting in the way when he is getting out a good message, tying him down to a chair and taping his mouth shut rendering him unable to speak, they also try to force alcohol down his throat.
They bury him in the end. I believe this represents what happens if you let fame get to your head. John is down to earth, and he is staying that way.
The girls here represent evil.
Finally the ladies were taping him up, and forcing him to drink that alcohol because that could easily symbolize how our BAD role models inadvertently make us feel forced to do certain things we don’t want to do. The taping up would represent how trapped we feel when it comes to try being like those role models.
Idk I just heard a part of the song from what I listened and I am very sure that’s what it’s all about!
The ladies look rather unfulfilled, depressing, and unenthusiastic.
This was likely done to show the idea role model that the world sets to be rather pointless and disheartening.
The imagery is typical for John reuben. He likes to be weird and this shows what the obsession of being like the really idea people are can lead to. How it leads to a death of individuality and yourself, yet your still alive physically.
(I will continue in one last comment)
Well surely if you are a John Reuben fan you know how controversial he likes to be with a Christian Perspective.
The ladies were dressed a little loose, but It wasn’t really ALL that bad. Perhaps John did push the envelope a little too much but that’s no reason to be on his case by it.
Besides the ladies were probably intended to be dressed in such a way to show the monotonous idea of beauty for it’s cold, inhuman, and repetitive nature. (I will continue in a different comment.
dude
google satire
you dont need to like christian rap
or rap
or music
you either like the artist on his merits or you don’t
i have been quite a fan of reuben for awhile
and his new stuff is knockin it out of the park
I think you are being to obvious and pedantic here.
Anyone who begins to believe there own hype is destined for destruction- Samson, Solomon, the list goes on. But then again the Bible is full of immodestly dressed women and visceral imagery.
I am very disappointed, John Reu.
You even said it in THIS VERY SONG… “Even if it’s a tough pill to swallow, entertainers, role models.” What kind of role model are you being with this sick video with immodestly dressed women and visceral imagery? This is the most secular thing I’ve seen you do yet!
I’m just not impressed here.
love the ending!
this video is awesome
kinda weird video, but i kinda like it lol
this is the coolest thing i have ever seen
freaking sick video I wonder if one of the girls in the video is his wife?
Now thats some John Rueben. Nice nice I had to play it twice. More deep phat beats and bass and less Disco on the next serving please…
Awesome vid!
sweet tune!
addictive.
After 5 minutes I still don’t know what I just watched.
I was just like, What the frick is going on in this??? The ending was freaky weird…
