The person who showed me this video seemed to think I would find it hilarious. Instead I just think it's absolutely brilliantly done. I'm staggeringly impressed.
Man... I can't even express in words how this sounds, so I will have to make up a word.... simply scrumptralescent. I loved The Servant. but if this is what I can expect from you solo, I don't need any more convincing. I have been sitting here listening to it for like ah, 20 minutes now.
Damn! First time i've heard this, i thought this is a Weird Al Jankovich parody! Second time i' ve heard it, i've realized it is better than the original! Much better! 5 stars!
Dan is cool & I like what is doing but... those Ray Ban are the ugliest sunglasses in the world. Even if you're Jude Law or Angelina Jolie, you look like an idiot with them. Anyway, this video is a great exemple of sweding ^^
Good video, incredible mix. Takes me back to Dynamite Hack's Boyz in the Hood mix, but this is superior. It's too bad that the lyrics for Hypnotize were so foul.
Awesome ! I liked Servant's songs but it's great work ! the musique the samples the video, everything's perfect ! GREAT JOB ! Hope to see you live in France again Dan ! And it's not gay at all = S, "art" is not a "gaything" preeks !
That fact that he has so sophisticated beauty doesn't mean he must be surely gay... hehe.. he is just a lucky man. God gave him soooo much...outstanding talent and good look.
I think that out of those 20 000 + views, there are at least a hundred of them that are mine! Yes,I am owning up to them. Desolee. Need to check into rehab for this new addiction. When is the next one??????
dan, you never cease to amaze me. you take a song i originally found disgusting and, somehow, make it beautiful and something i'd proudly play loudly in my car. don't ever stop doing what you do. <3
this song is sweet. and even if you don't like it, you have to admit that the video is pretty awesome and appreciate the fact that a lot of work was probably put into it.
I can't believe this video has only 26,000 views. You get shit like avril lavigne with 100,000,000 views because all her fans put the video on repeat day and night to make it look like she is really popular.
Is it me that the bass line and beat is directly lifted from Rihana's Umbrella and also the orchestral background sounds like a the soundtrack of a sci-fi movie, nevertheless one of the coolest covers his year
Diggin this cover Hypntz, real neat
Audio slappin phat to the homage cat
Nice tight beatz wid synth chorus sweet
Biggie himself dancin on his feat
Laughing that skinny white man got da meat
Aced his tongue twist hyper drive speech
Chuckle as the poptastic twist spills complete
Kickin it from the Blackness twin peaks

pipaaacs 3 years ago
It's pretty much the same as Hypnotize by Notorious B.I.G.
The first verse is something like:
Sicker than your average Poppa
Twist cabbage off instinct people don't think shit stink,
pink gators, my Detroit players
Timbs for my hooligans in Brooklyn
Dead right, if they head right, Biggie there every night
Poppa been smooth since days of Underroos
Never lose, never choose to, bruise crews who do something to us, talk go through us
Girls walk to us, wanna do us, screw us
cheeseontaoist 3 years ago
Who us? Yeah, Poppa and Puff
Close like Starsky and Hutch, stick the clutch
Dare I squeeze three at your cherry M-3
Bang every MC easily, busily
Recently people fronting ain't saying nothing
Packing, asking who want it, you got it flaunt it
That Brooklyn bullshit, we're on it
