Isaiah the Playah might not be a name rolling off your tongue yet, but the dude certainly knows his rap history. Last year, the YouTuber uploaded a video detailing his opinions on the best rap songs from the last three decades, which garnered over seven million views in a matter of weeks. Now he’s remade the list.
“The weird thing about that video was that it blew up, like, two or three months after I uploaded it, which is pretty crazy because not many videos go viral only a couple months after they’re uploaded,” Isaiah the Playah (@yuhboyISAIAH) said in his latest video. “I never thought that this early in my YouTube career I would have a video with over seven million views! It still does not feel real to me.”
After re-watching his original version, Isaiah decided to remake the video that launched him into that YouTube orbit.
“I made that video when I was really bad at editing,” he explained in the new video. “I knew the bare minimum, so the video just seemed really unprofessional and not polished. And on top of that, my knowledge and practice has grown a lot since making that video, so there’s actually a decent amount of selections that I want to change. Plus, it’s 2018 now so I get to add another song to that list, so for all those reasons I just decided that I’m going to remake it.”
