What I saw b4 reading the comments, was that this was not a variety of your average New Yorker. They kept showing certain types of people and the one Black cabby talking about living his dream! ARE YOU FREAKIN' KIDDING ME? His dream is not driving around rich designers, brewers, and musicians. Not very accurate at all and I've never even been there.
They missed the whole concept of what New York really meant... MELTING POT. It did not represent New York. And isn't "DAPPY" the name for ghost in Patois??? WTF??!?!?! FAILED!!!
Sorry for the wrong spelling IT's DUPPY. Oops!
I couldnt get through the video 4 obvious reasons..but umm I agree a very biased representation...ahh well..the love is still there, everyone's view of the city is different and unique and thats why its a world class tourist destination.
The video didn't bother me over all cuz its just 1 type of view of NY. The fact is there are rich, artsy types in NY just as much as gritty hip hop style everyday types. I just think the inclusion of the cabbie made things stand out too much. Had it been a black art buyer, poet or restaurant owner then it'd be fine. But the the drastic difference was too big to over look.
I agree you Nightfall, it's not a bad video, that's their world and they are expressing their opinions, but why fill the little spot with Dappy?! Should have just kept him out of it. What was really the point of putting him in there?
