NYC Waterfalls Get White Rapper Treatment
They've turned the trees brown, they've swallowed kayakers, they've sparked a "meh" heard round the world. Now Olafur Eliasson's four waterfall installations on the East River have something else to add to their legacy: another pair of white dudes have been inspired to rap.
At least this one gets points for weirdness. A homage/parody of Eliasson's ambitious installations (he froze a BMW, created a sun at Tate Modern), the video by Modern Jackass features a German-sounding duo dropping ego rhymes from art-star Olafur's P.O.V., calling out New Yorkers for their ingratitude. Sample lyric: "No flowers. No card?! No thanks. I should Cloverfield your shit with both of Denmark's tanks." It's Friday, just watch.
