We’re not the only blog that feels somewhat played by posting this video, which mashes an Apple ad with various internet memes and a rap song that remixes the song used in the original, Yael Naim‘s "New Soul."
This is a blatant ploy to grab attention, but isn’t that what music videos are for? Besides, it’s just so well made, and yes, clever, that we just can’t resist falling for it too.
Rapper AC kicks off the track with "Yo Phenom, what up, yo Glaze, what up. Yo these dudes is doing a lot of commercial tracks, but they ain’t doing tracks from commercials," and then launches into a litany of faux-l33t references including the claim that someone’s wallet is "thinner than the new Mac" and that he’s as smart as the Geek Squad.
At the end of the video appears a note that all of this was created with a PC, enabling the video to tap into the always healthy "people yelling at each other about Mac vs. PC" market. Like we said, clever.
