Musicians starring in Web videos is nothing new. John Mayer’s comedic attempt on Funny or Die comes immediately to mind. And as far as general Internet startups go, M.C. Hammer is only one of many players. 50 Cent, Nick Lachey, and Kylie Minogue are in the fold as well.
Perhaps the newest name to arrive on the scene, with his own video blog, is the Grammy-winning former Fugee Pras Michel. Topics to be discussed with viewers? Anything on the artist’s mind. Music, movies, politics. No gossip, though. That’s out. So world news with some hip-hop flavor rolled in?
