FunnyMike goes viral with real-life Nuketown music video YouTube: FunnyMikeYouTuber FunnyMike has made a song called Nuketown \u2013 and filmed the music video in a real-life recreation of the iconic Call of Duty map. FunnyMike, real name MacArthur Johnson, isn\u2019t traditionally a musical artist, doing a variety of pranks, challenges, and vlogs that you would expect from a modern YouTuber. However, he has dabbled in music in the past (including becoming \u201922 Savage\u2019), and the release of his NukeTown music video quickly went viral after it released at the end of February. Mike isn\u2019t typically known for doing gaming content, but some games \u2013 Call of Duty in particular \u2013 has become somewhat of a staple of the next generation of rap, with many artists sampling or talking about the game on various tracks. The real-life Nuketown appears to be at a paintballing center judging by the paint splatters around the map and the guns everyone in the video are holding up \u2013 not to mention the frequent references to paintball throughout. The song and video seems to be somewhat of a play on rap music that may have a particular focus on gun and gang violence, but with a more playful and satirical twist. Lyrics such as \u201cIf I shoot you with this paintball, what you going to do?\u201d show inspiration from the stereotypical rap music we would hear today but with a more humorous twist to it. FunnyMike has clearly found a good niche here, with a song and video that resonates with his demographic, is a catchy song, but also keeping his lighthearted style in there means it can be more easily enjoyed by his fanbase. Filming the video in a real-life Nuketown was no doubt a win for Mike, as people not only want to tune in and see how it looks, but also makes the song more immersive and likely to pick up more fanfare \u2013 as evidenced by it popping off on YouTube\u2019s Trending charts. Just the day before the music video released, Mike tweeted that he had filmed some vlogs with Platinum recording artist Lil Yachty, which could be a hint at more music to come in the future. Me and lil yachty finna fuck y\u2019all head up with the vlogs \u2014 FunnyMike (@1funnymike) February 26, 2020 Yachty has been a very outspoken fan of Call of Duty, even joining as an honorary member of FaZe Clan, so it wouldn\u2019t be a surprise to see Mike and Yachty playing CoD or making music together in the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
