Kevye West: 808s & Expiration Dates (Guac Lockdown)
Available on YouTube in HIGH DEFINITION : Just Click WATCH IN HD
Pitch auto-correction and a simple beat can make anything chart-worthy; even a freestyle about guacamole and expired milk. In case anyone's curious, the music took fifteen minutes, the vocals took five and it was all created in GarageBand with built-in effects. Joe shot the video with me in about six hours over the course of a weekend, assembled a pretty much final edit in an hour, and Luis polished everything up in After Effects in an evening or two.
Do me a favor would ya? If you enjoyed the video, please spam it out to other like-minded netizens. Thanks in advance!

Kevin you are the king
Wow, that's awesome. I posted it on MySpace, the forums I frequent and sent it to my friends.

Awesome video, sir!! Great success!!
I love this! I concur, this is an epic win, dear sir! You managed to make one of the things current "musicians" use, that is probably one of the most annoying things, and make it hilarious and stylish!
Now the picture of you laying in milk makes more sense!
Fucking amazing. we love you K-per
You look like Rob Thomas of Matchbox 20 in this video Kevin. To further propagate the video, people could probably be convinced that he has turned to R&B and this is his video ('stupid people' that is :P).
Well done btw.
Haha that was hilarious, have some whole wheat bread banging against my head. Wish it would've been a tad longer though, it ended right when I was getting into it good. K Per brings the lolz
the sunglasses bit, that'd be my favorite! this was worth the wait!
EPIC video. It better be on ATN tonight. Those are sweet loafers, where can I get a pair?
More Win then anything I have seen before! Great Job.
Hahaha!! Win!
Added to my blog.

you know i fucks w/ you hard Kev, but the Mother's dead thing didn't sit well w/ me at all, the rest of the song was cool beans, but even mentioning someone's dad mother is foul! I understand the spoof and that was a better voocder than 50 used on his last mixape!
Wicked burn.
Haha. Awesome shameless plug on Around The Net! Awesome. I was wondering where you were going with it, but as soon as you said I put something together during lunch I figured, here we go with kevye... And the Olivia singing. *rock*
well done Mr. Pereira. happy holidays good sir and all the best to you and yours ^_^
yo periera awesome vid. i was watching the show today and noticed u did the auto-tuning on garageband. any way you could help out the other kanye wanabes and show us how to do it? thanks brah.
Epic Win video, the tape + shades part was absolutely priceless!!
WOW! that was AWESOME! LOL you rule Mr. Pereira
Dude...this is hilarious. Do more of these
I loved the song and the video. I actually would buy this from itunes. It's catchy and is stuck in my head. Kevye is way more talented than Kanye. I will help spread this around the interwebs for sure. Good job!
