Didn't Think It Could Get Worse...

Rebecca Black's Friday is the most disliked song in YouTube. Why???? Because she was being serious about it and people thought it was a joke, that and the awful lyrics and the nasally voice did not help her cause. Now we have another video that sucks the same amount of balls. What do you know? It's a guy that sings it. A 55 year old casino executive named Allen Samuels or as he is calling himself A. Samuels. Way to go dude, you took your name and made it shorter. Some people are saying that this could be the worst video of the year and I think they could be right. Sure, Rebecca Black has the most disliked video and this guy doesn't but when you compare them, you can notice some differences and if  had to choose one, it would be Miss Black's video.


Let's look at the facts, Rebecca Black is a 14 year old trying to make it into the entertainment world as a singer, she had to work hard to actually get something out there. Samuels on the other hand could be put under the "I'm having a mid-life crisis" category. How much work did he have to do to actually get a song and video out there??? Shit, he's a millionaire, you know he just had to take out his wallet and sing, even if it was bad. So let's dig into this...this... thing and figure out what the hell is it.




Before saying anything and hitting play on this, I see a couple of disturbing things. First of all, the name of the song Livin De Life. It's missing the G from living and instead of "the" he wrote "De". I get that he wants to be gangster and everything, but you could at least put an apostrophe after "Livin" and why use an E in "De", it would have been better if you put "Da" on there. It's not so hard. Secondly, there are selling this piece of crap for a dollar on iTunes??? I want to see the sales number for this song, I really do. That for me is an insult, but hey, its not the only one here. Let's dissect this bitch.



[Intro]
Livin de life
A. Samuels
Newark, N
ew Jersey
Bringing it home

Shit, why don't you just tell us your social security number??? And why do I get the feeling that we are gonna hear Livin De Life every 5 seconds??? Not even Rebecca Black uses the word Friday so damn much. And I'm not even going to touch that joke of an intro to the video.

[Hook: x2]
Yo, I’m livin de life
Yo, I’m livin de life
And if you ain’t with it, shorty, then you part of the hype

And here we go. By the way, what hype is he talking about??? Don't you have to establish what it is you are singing about before actually telling us???

[Verse 1]
Player’s on the hardwood, golfer’s on the green
Cat’s making big papers, I got bitches in between
Doctor’s on call, gangsters that fall
I got lawyers that draw up papers for us all

Really??? Wow, I didn't know that. I thought golfer played on pools. Cat's making big paper??? Who the hell is Cat??? You got doctors on call just in case you run out of Viagra when you're with bitches that only want your money right??? Gangsters that fall??? What the fuck does that mean???

[Hook]
[Bridge]
Bringing home the paper to the family, to the wife
But I ask them this question, “Are they livin de life?”
Yo, I ask them this question, “Are they livin de life?”
Yo, I ask them this question, “Are they livin de life?”

So he's the one paying the bills and he asks his family if they are living the life??? Dude, if they aren't living the life, they should be, but not like you are and was it really necessary to repeat the same thing three times???

[Hook: x2]
[Verse 2]
It ain’t about black, yo, it ain’t about white
It ain’t even about folks creeping in to the night
It ain’t about the Asians and it ain’t about the Jews
It ain’t about the Christians, Muslims, yo fools
It’s all about the paper, power, livin de life
And if you ain’t with it shorty than you’re part of the hype
The caste system is what it is from the days of old
To today’s time that are fast that are bold
To the way that *we* live, and the way that *we* roll
And the way that *we* flow
G4′s, big Benzes and the jewelry and the cash
And if you ain’t got it, girl, don’t let your world crash
Because I’m livin de life
Yo I’m livin de life
And if you ain’t with it shorty then you’re part of the hype

I applaud him for saying that you can be great and that it doesn't matter what religion or race you are, but after that he says that it's all about having money and power. What kind of message is he trying to get across

[Hook: x2]
 [Verse 3]
I know business men that got it, I know bitches that are cool
Politicians seem to think that they can overrule
Big city suburbs I live in the streets
Which one is yours shorty baby don’t go down in defeat
Yo look up now, before it’s too late
Do your thing get out of the gate
Like a fast horse or educated player on a bike
Get out there brother and, yo, live de life
I love to know people with money that are young
Regular people that won’t talk ’til I’m done
People that can hoop, that can holler with spice
I ask you my brother, “Do they live de life?”
I spit lyrics for the brothers that got paper that got cash
For the poor with religion, no paper no stash
Chess players, rooks, pawns, kings and queens
Yeah we all must die but live your life in between
For you player that’s rolling living life on the go
For the sweeties at home who got kids on the low
To the people that protect us from the maniacs that infect us
The world is in a struggle, yo it’s all up in a fight
Don’t give up, don’t give up yo live de life

You are dedicating a song on saying that you have all this money, all these nice things and cars and you really expect us to believe that you live in the streets. Yeah, and The Smurfs is a good fucking movie. The next five lines make no sense whatsoever. This song is like a kid learning to talk, Just random sentences all mashed up together. Define young, because you ain't young. Shit, even a website (that has music on their name and has absolutely no music on their channel) calls you an "Old Rich Dude". I don't get this guy, now he says that he is better than the people that don't have money and that he did this only for the rich people??? This is a moron that tell us that he didn't do it for us and that he doesn't care, yet he wants us to pay a dollar to buy this song. That's like making a movie and saying that the movie is a piece of crap. Again, this makes no sense. What do the next three lines have to do with one another??? No shit, we have to live our life in between before we die. For the next couple of lines I say "Fuck you, I'm not reading"

[Hook: x2]
[Verse 4]
Yo casino is good it got me out of the hood
Now I’m livin de life just like I knew that I would
I was Brand Ernesto suits and vests
I was bringing in ballers only the best
From MJ, Ivy, Shaq and A.I
The bosses looked at me and said, “Damn, you fly.”

You're from the hood??? The roof of your house I can assume because if you really were from the hood, you would be better at this. you know, I think they were talking to the players you brought in and not you or maybe they were telling you to go away. The was a bad joke, but after hearing this, I've lot all logic.

[Hook: x2]
[Outro]
I’m livin de life
Yeah they’re crazy for this one
Riding in Miami and I’m flying to L.A
And I’m in New York I got something to say
(Yo, this guy’s got a twizzem chain, son!)
Dude, no one is crazy for this shit. Only in New York you can say things, right??? Why, people kicked the shit out of you on the other states??? And what the hell is a twizzem chain"??? 
This could be the worst video of the year. I know I hated it more than Friday but this one is a clear winner. This guy is clearly doing this because of a mid-life crisis, it's the only explanation. I know that he wants us to be serious but I can take serious a 14 year old with her whole life ahead of her over a 55 year old rich guy that can wipe his ass with $100 bills. Oh and I counted all the times her says "livin de life". He says it 33 times which is a little bit more than the 27 times Rebecca Black says "Friday" and in her defense, she says it on the chorus and not every two sentences. This song is ass and if you want to become a fan of Friday you should totally see this joke.
