Hey, Where Is Ronald Jenkees?

Hello YouTubes,

Where Ronald Jenkees at? His last posted video was 10 months ago. And now it’s basically summertime and we’re sitting here with no Ronald Jenkees summer jam? To quote the legendary Benjamin Franklin, “FUCK THAT NOISE.” I suppose it’s comforting to know that wherever he is, he is blazing! Spitting keyboard truth like hot keyboard fire. But seriously, where he at? Bring him back now. This is getting stupid.

Ronald Jenkees, there are summer parties happening! With no beats whatsoever! We need you! Lock it in! Let’s go!!!!

A Note On The Beauty Of Amateur YouTube Musicians, Both Kinds

Gabe — Thu, 28 Aug 2008 13:00:40 +0000

There’s a lot of internet meme attention paid on amateur would-be musicians who are even more lacking in self-awareness then they are in musical talent. We’re as guilty of that as anyone. Because the fact is those people are fascinating and awesome. Contrary to what one commenter complained last week, I don’t think that it’s laughing at people who are poor and uneducated for being poor and uneducated to appreciate a truly mind-blowing YouTube video made by Outsider Artists. I genuinely love these videos and am glad that they exist, not to mention the fact that the people who make them want their work to be seen, that’s why they’re available on-line.

That being said, it’s true that not as much attention is paid, at least around here, to the internet musicians who actually do have some musical talent and upload their work into the Henry Darger insanity-abyss of the internet. Like these two little girls in the woods covering the Fleet Foxes, for example.

Hello, YouTubes: Summer Edition

Ronald Jenkees puts out a new video and not a moment too soon. Look out “Lollipop” and “Love in the Club,” you’re about to get taken to Summer Jam School.

Talk about boom goes the dynamite. Ronald Jenkees’s music is nuts. Every morning Pharrell looks at himself in the mirror and says “What will it be, Pharrell? Another day of this sad charade, or will you finally muster the courage to call Ronald Jenkees and concede. He is the true President of Music.” Every morning that happens.

Operation Watch This: Ronald Jenkees

Most of our Operation Watch Thises thus far have focused on humorous viral web videos. Actually a lot of our content in general has focused on humorous viral web videos. You’re welcome. But today, I’d like to introduce you to Ronald Jenkees. His new video just went up last night, and it has already forced Timbaland and Just Blaze to kill themselves because if you can’t take the heat that Jenkees is bringing, you get out of the life kitchen.

Dear President of Entertainment,

How are we doing on making Ronald Jenkees king of music and/or the planet?

Thanks,
Lindsay.
