Viral Video Watch: Belizean James, “No Gold Anything”

Words by Jesse Serwer—

Belizean James

Trinidad James leaves himself open to parody in his over-the-top “All Gold Everything” video. Unsurprisingly, as the Trini-born rapper’s song and video have blown the hell up these last few weeks, the spoofs have started rolling in. For a number of reasons, this one from actor Lamorne Morris of Fox sitcom The New Girl reigns supreme, though. For one thing, Morris’ doppelganger is called Belizean James. Then there’s the visuals, a to-the-tee recreation of “All Gold Everything” that looks exactly like the original except where it’s supposed to not look like it. If you’re already in the loop with the whole Trinidad James thing, prepare to laugh yourself silly.

If you’re anything like us, you are kicking yourself for not make a carnival mission about now and making resolutions that next year you are going to blame it on Rio. Or Port of Spain. Or someplace. And in the same breath you are probably thinking you can’t wait a whole year and it is time to get the fuck outta Dodge. We are here to help. We’ve put in a lot of time on beaches over the years and have developed the picky taste of true connoisseurs (ok, addicts). Our favorite sandtraps may be a little further off the beaten path than Frommer’s or the NY Times. But they’re worth the hike. Here are our picks, with no particular regard to order:
