cute :) a good attempt, you got the sounds and movements pretty good. I have no trouble following West's ideas, but I think you tend to ramble on one idea much longer than he would and then move on to a completely new idea. While West would connect each idea in a related way so you can follow what he is saying easier.
I love brother Cornel West and often have a giggle at his incredible vocabulary and his word gymnastics while simultaneously delivering straight fire!!! This allowed me to get my laugh on, without being totally disrespectful to the movement. good stuff, i can see the humor. peace
Great impersonation skills! You have Brother West almost dead on!! I didn't want to watch this video initially because I saw the fro and your demonstrative gestures at first glance and immediately wrote you off as another youtube goon who managed to get his hands on a camera. But I kept watching and was pleased with the outcome. As I write, my mouse now hovers over the subscribe button.
you should send this to cornel west and ask if you can interview him in character. it's smart enough stuff that he may actually agree. i can see it now: "when brother east meets brother west." Hahahaha, keep up the good work. the audience is out there; it'll just take them a while to find you.
Dead on, hilarious, and smart. I'd love to see Clifton East as a regular commentator. Good luck in your search for a writing gig. I have no doubt that you'll be successful in it.
Kind of lost the post discursive, transgressive, althusserian hermeneutic of racially applied simulacra as the terminus of the message approached revealing a glimpse of potential genissess and further comedic genius; but as the now subjective, now deconstructed author of this comment seemingly can not spell the words he uses a reader can safely see the comment erasing itself as political text, existing only as the stale ghost of poor parody and homage.
You are out of your element, my man... I have a feeling you are headed for eminence, at least past the level of YouTube posting...
BTW, if you listen to the Four Tops' version of "Eleanor Rigby", you can hear just how soulful a song it is... the seed of rock came from Africa, was sown in the South, and harvested in England...
I Think Even Dr. West Would Have To Give This A Thumbs Up!
