Honestly, when I clicked play on this video I expected to turn it off after 30 seconds. Surely this would suck? What I didn’t expect was a truly funny, well put together Straight Outta Compton parody with some killer punchlines.
This could have been a bog-standard video that got by on the strength of the high concept — Batman villains rapping, etc — but it takes things a step further. Not only is it well written, well shot and well edited, but the raps actually do a great job of mimicking the original. The Riddler’s verses actually sound like Eazy-E both in cadence and timbre. Like it’s crazy. They’ver perfectly chosen each Batman villain to represent each N.W.A. member and totally followed through on it.
I don’t want to say too much more, just check it out.
