Gashi Is The GOAT

Published on by Giddy Up RanchLeave a comment

There is a constant debate over who is the rap world’s greatest of all time. Depending on who you may speak to, the names Tupac Shakur, Biggie Smalls or Eminem may top the list. But as we very well know, opinion will own crown champions in figure skating and gymnastics, so this music debate remains open.

“GOAT” is an acronym for “Greatest Of All Time”. And though Albania rapper, Gashi, would never claim to be the best to perform in his genre, his music video “1134” makes him the goat, literally.

In 2018, we happily assisted in a music video production that featured several of our baby goats. The video’s climax shows the Brooklyn based rapper, dressed in black, dying and then transforming into a blue-eyed black goat that we have since named “Gashi’ in his honor.

Giddy Up Ranch is no stranger to Video productions, having become one of the more popular animal rentals for music producers. Our tortoises were featured in Canadian rapper Benny Mayne’s “Strangers” video, and we were also called upon for an Alpaca to star in Keiynan Lonsdale’s “Good Life”.

Though our animals appear at a glance to serve only as entertainment and display at public and private functions, they have a wide variety of uses, which include television, movies and music videos. So if you’re ever in search of a four-legged star to enhance your production, just know that we are only a phone call away.

ICYMI: Good Day L.A.

Over the years, Giddy Up Ranch has become synonymous with birthdays and anniversaries. Whether it’s the city of Pico Rivera celebrating its 60th or children celebrating their first, we are often called upon to provide the party’s centerpiece.

Recently, Fox 11, along with its many viewers across Southern California, celebrated a very special anniversary.  And once again, Giddy Up Ranch answered the call.

The cast and crew of the Fox Television’s “Good Day L.A” morning show paid tribute to long time colleague, Tony McEwing, as he celebrated his 25th year as a broadcast member.  The celebration included the unveiling of a street now named in his honor, and a ride along that paved road on an unusual transport.

A big man requires large transportation.  And on this day, it was a camel that would parade him from one end to the other.  Though he first appeared hesitant, the King was finally aboard and presented to his loyal subjects.

“Good Day L.A” is the most watched morning show in the city of Los Angeles, establishing a new ratings record in 2017.  Tony McEwing joined the FOX team in 1993.  Giddy Up Ranch is no stranger to the FOX set, appearing each December on the morning show, in its Heifer International promotional segment.
