"All About Audi" featuring Maino

(He may have tilted his head towards the sky, but he's leaning on a Lambo, thus keeping with the theme to this blog)

The All About Audi web-series continues, this time it's with Maino, the Brooklyn bred rapper who brought you "Hi Haters". Like the previous episode with Jim Jones, Maino had the luxury of leaving tire skidmarks all over the streets of Midtown Manhattan (34th Street and 9th Ave. It's really Hell's Kitchen to be specific), while driving a 2012 Audi A7. Check out the video below, and then, I will give my usual blunt, yet logical commentary.



If anyone has ears who watched it, the first thing that was wrong was the quality of the audio. However, I will give credit because Maino actually explored more of the features of the car. First he tested the horsepower, which did impress him. During the joyride, Maino decides to tinker with Audi's Drive Select feature which allowed him to change the suspension of the car right then and there.

However the complaints that I have of this episode still carried over from the previous episode: It was more of "The Day in the Life of Maino" and less about the car. Yes, Maino did explore the features of the car more than Jim Jones, but the amount of time that was discussed about the car was all of 9 seconds. But at the end of the day, what does watch and sneaker shopping have to do with a 2012 Audi?

Basically, I'm saying that I wasn't impressed with this episode, even though I am a fan of Maino.

*Note: Start praying that the episode featuring Jadakiss is a stronger episode than this one*

"All About Audi" Starring Jadakiss, Jim Jones, and Maino

A new webseries called "All About Audi" is set to debut soon. The series is about four hip hop industry movers and shakers, ironically all of them are from New York, and they get to drive either an Audi A7 or an Audi A8 on the streets of Manhattan. Each car has a webcam or two and they let you'se know their opinion about the car.

I know I listed three out of the four people above. We have: Harlem's own Jim Jones, Brooklyn's own Maino, My Personal Favorite- Yonkers' Own Jadakiss (told you I love rappers with raspy voices), as well as DJ Bobby Trends (He's on Hot 97, and I was just as clueless as you were about him. They could have picked a more known DJ... you know, more known outside of the Tri-State area).

Great concept because you're getting to hear an opinion about the car from a regular-- well almost regular person. Meaning, you're not hearing it from a guy who has been writing for Car and Driver for 50 years. I do wish that they added a girl into the mix. Nicki Minaj is from New York, but the odds of her doing this for free are slim to none. Maybe if they did this back in '09, she would have done it.

Enough of my rambling, here's the official trailer.

Of course the irony in this is that Audi of West Islip is sponsoring this. You have to be from Long Island to understand what I'm talking about.

P.S. I imagine Jim Jones being the craziest driver out of the four.
