Reh Dogg: Why Must I Cry?

Posted by Zeal i. See

Why. Why must I cry? I know why you cry. It’s probably for the same reason you turned off your comments for your Youtube videos.
Reh Dogg is a self-made rap artist, he makes his own CD’s, merchandise, ringtones… and along with his musical ‘prowess’ he’s also a director and actor. His Youtube channel is full of some pretty awful stuff, but I am going to focus on the first thing of Mr. Dogg’s I ever saw…
Why Must I Cry is about, in Reh Dogg’s own words, a “music video is about a man whom befriended a fatherless ghetto boy. The boy stole from him time and time again. This video also speaks of a man who fathered twins with a woman he felt no love for. This song is highly emotional and it's not about how well the singer is it's about expression of hard times.”
Honest. The lyrical content is horrible, and his acting and video making skills are abysmal. The singing at the beginning makes my dog whine. With repetitive wording and no flow, the lyrics are just as much a pain to read as to hear. The video itself is just… Gosh. I don’t even have words to explain how horrible it is. I mean, just watch it:



Shower scenes? Cop clothes? Leopard print seat covers? Really, Reh Dogg? And what’s up with the running through the woods?
If there was an award for worst music video, I would like to award it to Reh Dogg in person. Even though I do appreciate that he is expressing himself, could he do so in another way? His 'videos' are honestly no worse than a lot of other things on Youtube, but Reh Dogg has been qouted saying that he wants to make a living.
I want to wish him luck, and ask him to stop making me cry.

Yes, the world does need to recognize what horrors are suffocating the media. Fantastic idea!

Reh Dogg is on a quest to create another Internet Sensation. we are pretty sure he has done just that with his latest creation "I'm Jerking Off"

This one is more disturbing than his last hit "Why must I cry" Don't just take my word for it check it out and be the judge.

Don't be shy. You can suggest movies, games, people, books, music... that's right. You can even suggest that douche bag's band down the road with the crappy myspace page.
