Is North Korea the best place to shoot a music video? Yes.

Associated Press — Two aspiring American rappers said on Saturday that they had filmed part of a music video in North Korea, hoping the novel locale will make a hit.

The rappers, known as Pacman and Peso, did not say where and how they filmed the footage, which their fundraising proposal suggested would be done on a karaoke party bus in Pyongyang. Their custom trip was arranged through a travel agency specializing in taking Westerners to North Korea, according to the proposal. Americans are able to travel to North Korea on arranged tours and are constantly accompanied by North Korea minders.

After reading the headline “Rappers Pacman and Peso claim to have filmed music video in North Korea,” got to admit the first thought was how incredibly stupid can these assclowns be? North Korea is a damn prison state. Probably the worst single place on the planet outside of Springfield, Mass. Not only that, but they’re holding an old American man captive as we write.

But then we got to the part about the karaoke party bus in Pyongyang. Which might just be the most thug-life karaoke party bus we’ve ever heard of. And then we thought, maybe Pacman and Peso are on to something? Yeah, we know Tupac was tough and stuff, and Suge Knight is a pretty mean dude, but do those guys really hold a candle to Kim Jong-Un?

Like, imagine Biggie being all “the millionaire, the mansion, the yacht!” and Lil’ Kim just staring stone cold: “The billionaire, the death camp, the fleet.” Dayummmm. Owned.

We guess it was only a matter of time, too. Sure, Scarface cut that dude up with a chainsaw and had that grenade launcher. But bros like Putin manufacture grenade launchers. Not much more thug life than that, right?

Plus, when we Google News’d “Pacman and Peso”?

Pacman and Peso

Yeah: “3,110 results (0.33 seconds).” Not bad for a day’s work. And definitely easier than getting shot all those times like 50.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
