Sammy Stephens
Commercial appeal
Monday, February 9th, 2009 | musiX | 1 Comment
I don’t even know what to say. It’s so bad it’s good? It’s so good it’s bad? How about, “It’s just like a mini mall.” The large man in this commercial for a flea market in Montgomery, Ala. is Sammy Stephens. He made news a couple of years back with the “Mini Mall Rap” … guess I’ve been living under a rock.
Anyway, Sammy can explain it much better than I can. My favorite part of the video is the camera tilt at :14 that goes with Stephens’ soulful “maaawll.” Did I mention it’s just like a mini mall?
