As you probably realized, RemixTheVideo was hacked on Wednesday. Apparently, some Russian who lives in his mother’s basement wanted to reignite the Cold Way by hacking us. Rest assured, the exploit has been fixed and the malicious code has been removed from the site. We have also implemented additional security measures to ensure that an event like this never happens again. Thanks for bearing with us and we are back! They couldn’t keep us down for long!
Remember that amazing video for “What You Need”? The one we all couldn’t tell if it was an official video or not? Well, it is gone, at least the original upload (you can still watch it here).
Now, what a great way to treat your fans, especially ones who paid attention to just about every detail of The Weeknd’s themes portrayed in their own photos. These people who made it obviously spent a great deal of time making the video and it is largely in line with The Weeknd’s branding, so why go ahead and take it down?
Did The Weeknd even try to contact the creators of the video? If the uploader is not making money on YouTube than what is the harm? Why take it down? In my opinion, this is a poor move by The Weeknd. At least, we now know all along that the video was really unofficial. Who knew?
Just in case The Weeknd had trouble finding out who to contact (and happens to be reading this as well), I’ll help them contact the creator of the video. His name is Cole Walliser. He grew up in Vancouver and now lives in Los Angeles. He has directed videos for the likes of P!nk, Katy Perry, Miley Cyrus, Ocean Grove Band, and The LXD and also has credits on videos from LL Cool J, Britney Spears, Toni Braxton, and Beat Freaks.
You can check out more of Cole’s work and contact him at ColeWalliser.com. He also did a really interesting interview with The Vancouver Sun talking about the video, which you can read here.

If you happen to be a rapper, I got a task for you. Apparently, DJ Skeet Skeet was sitting in a hotel room singing along to some Taylor Swift and decided to make a beat out of one her songs. The only thing missing in the song is YOU, so make a track out of this and send it my way. The best one will be featured on RTV and you will also win a date with Taylor Swift! Okay, I was lying about that last part.
“Was sittin around listenin to Taylor Swift in my hotel in Mexico City and decided to try to sample it. Made a lil rap beat quick and figured somebody out there in the interweb could rap on it. POST UR RAPS IN THE COMMENTS. SWAG.” – DJ Skeet Skeet
In case you needed more proof that this album is a certified disappointment, the god just gave this album 2 Zeus slaps out of 5 and that’s less than he gave Game’s album. Enough said.
Whattup yall its ya boy P-Tone aka the Hands Of Zeus namsayin. I aint really gon waste too much time wit the introductions tho namsayin. Yall probably want a nigga to get rite into this shit. Word is bond. Niggas been waitin on this album for bout 3 years n shit. After son dropped his bullshit “rock” album tho….a few less niggas was waitin on this shit. Then he dropped the joint wit his crew Young Money n it was even fewer niggas waitin nahmean. Truth be told tho… thats more of a bouquet of niggas than a crew son. Im jus sayin b….maybe pluck Gunz outta that shit tho. Millz aint exactly horrible neither but he been gettin stale as fuck lately. The rest a them niggas is lightweight tho…so what you expect par? When he dropped the I Am Not A Human Being shit he seemed to be gettin back to his Dedication/Drought shit tho…so niggas started anticipatin his shit again. But then he dropped the single (you kno the one) n niggas jus abandoned this muthafucka period. Now he relyin on 12 yr old broads n the pedophile niggas that need his music in order to lure 12 yr old broads to they car for all his sales. Pretty much eybody else jus gon find a mediafire link n leave it at that son. Unless this shit actually proves niggas wrong yo. Who knows namsayin. Anyways…the god aint gon judge this shit til he gives it a listen first. So Imma chill.
Mac Miller pretty much reiterates what I said word for word in this post as well as discusses his upcoming album in this interview with Hard Knock TV. Blue Slide Park dropping this November.
Watch: Mac Miller talks Blue Slide Park, Donald Trump, Eminem (Video)
Everyone and their Mom is complaining about how Donald Trump compared Mac Miller to Eminem and I wanted to throw my two cents in. Give the guy a break! Do you really think he is an avid Hip Hop fan that’s know the differences between the many subcultures, styles within it? Absolutely not. He even says in this video that the lyrics in the song are “a little hard to understand.”
Trump is just gloating about the fact that a rapper made a song titled “Donald Trump” that’s popular. Since this is Donald Trump, this really shouldn’t come as a surprise. Plus, I can only imagine that he is saying Mac Miller is the next Eminem because they are both white and popular. Eminem is the most successful white rapper to date. Mac Miller might be the next. On another note, there will never be another Eminem. Never.

Lupe Fiasco calls Obama a terrorist. Bill O’Reilly calls him a pinhead and says he declined to come on the show. Lupe Fiasco was like “What? I would never miss a chance to be on air with Papa Bear.” Finally, the two met up on The O’Reilly Factor to discuss Lupe’s comments. So… who do you think won the “debate?”
