Okay ILOSM family, we were sent this music video of Minnie Riperton’s oldest child, Marc Rudolph. He is the big brother of Minnie and Richard Rudolph’s daughter, actress/comedian, Maya Rudolph. Folks were talking about his vid,’ so we wanted to check it out for ourselves and oh boy! I have to admit that this video is a lil’ weird to say the least, but the question that was even more prevalent to us, here at ILOSM, was ‘What are Marc’s intention with this video?’

Marc is actually a music engineer who graduated from Brown University, that’s a major part of the reason why we were debating whether, or not Marc is really being serious in this video, or if he’s just doing it for laughs/fun. If he’s serious, then shame on all of us for laughing (LOL), but if he’s doing it for laughs, his mission is accomplished and we thank him for making today a little bit lighter.

Minnie was one of the baddest singers of the soul era- just an incredible talent, but what makes her legacy a little bit more incredible is that if Marc is doing this for laughs, then Minnie and Richard created not just one, but two babies who grew up to have a sense of humor out of this world. Keep in mind that their daughter, Maya, cracks folks up all the time on Saturday Night Live and on film, so maybe…just maybe, Marc could possibly have that same humorous personality trait as his sis.’

If that is the case, it’s really cool that two children with that type of comedic talent came out of the same household. We’re not sure which of their parents had the humorous personality -Minnie, or Richard- but based on how their children are, clearly at least one of them had to have it!

We’ll let you be the judge on Marc’s video for his song, “Carnaval,” though. Check it out below and let us know what you think.

And just because we can never get enough of Minnie in our lives, let’s reminisce to her rare “Loving You” music video…
