Comic 39: Breaking Bad

In high school, a childhood friend and I would race home after school every day, so that we could grab a snack and watch Yo! MTV Raps. It wasn’t enough to watch it, though. We would record that shit, so that we could rewatch the videos and discuss the nuances of what the hosts (Ed Lover, Doctor Dre, and Fab 5 Freddy) had to say.

For two nerdy Indian teenagers, watching hip-hop videos was really the same thing as playing with Transformers: pure fantasy. We watched rap videos the way housewives watched soap operas-to pretend for a little while, usually with a pile of junk food in front of us.

These days, the best I can say for myself is that I demand better writing, cinematography, and sound design from my fantasy worlds. It might have more nuance than Ed Lover, but it’s still the same shit.
