He's an old school mate of MC Frontalot. They'd been out of touch for years and years, and then he finds his old buddy is an internet rapper of some renown.
Small freakin' world we live in since the internet took off running.
*from MC Frontalot:
"I can't believe I haven't passed this around internet already (not that this video needs help from my social networks---none of MY videos have 2M+ views). Gm7 called me into his room and showed it to me probably the day it got posted.
The rapper is Dave Whitman, and he's an old buddy of mine and Gaby's. We all went to Berkeley High together and graduated in 1992. And I knew Dave before then. Did we even do cub scouts together for a while? At the end of High School he was the drummer for Gaby's funk band called Dorothy's Not Home. He was also already a DJ who spun hip-hop and I remember that I thought he was about a thousand times cooler than I was. I saw him in the summers throughout college because Gaby and I kept going home to Berkeley to put on these rock operas for Emerald Rain Productions, and Dave drummed for us.
I haven't seen Dave much in the last 15 years, and it is great to see him pop up with such a well-crafted piece of satire. It is also catchy and well rapped, and you should watch it again (you have already watched it, duh, it has 2 million hits and then some). It's funny that he and I are both rappers from the internet now, since there was no such thing as a person from the internet when we were growing up."
