markdavid Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 is this guy serious?

The Funk Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 Before watching the clip I was going to say something stupid like "stop getting worked up about stupid youtube videos" - but that clip really is stupid. I can't identify what the guy is pretending to teach us about hip hop bass playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
