[iwillknifeya]

Great post :D

[thumpah]

anyone one else notice the old women with the shopping bags shuffle to side looking all scared.lol.... Bless, She probably got the fright of her life.

[mazadiablo]

Love this song, not to mention its videos trippy way of doing things. lol

[rapinsomniac]

if only i had seen this in reverse when i was 12, i think i would have made a better choice in life. its so simple its genious

[stulhp]

this shit backwards sounds better than a lot shit out there now forwards!

[askjrvbjkrfbvhjbdjf]

they learned how to sing their song backwards, this way their lips would match the song when it played reverse....crazy shit aha

[retorique]

There's a cut at 1:59 ):

[manwalrus]

According to Spike Jonze the part with the chorus was actually recorded forward, so now it's backward. Weird

[cappadinoceo]

fkn awesome!

[BLBHSkateCrew]

the beat sound hot backwards

[ottoman9240]

amazing

[exkimo64]

I not only find it dope that the sample Dilla used is reversed, but I find it even more interesting that it actually sounds better in reverse, now that's dope.

[DonkeyMagnet99]

thats one gorgeous piano loop !!

[Spillberg]

I like the fact Spike Jonze had them move backwards so when he reversed the footage, it would have them look like they were moving forward! Nonetheless....A CLASSIC BY FAR!!! RIP to Jaydee aka J-Dilla on the beat! Can u believe Skillz (Mad Skillz) had this beat and passed up on it back in the day??? What an idiot!!!

[CaptainPommby]

Lol one landed on the other! 1:57

[vegnugun]

fatlip is in this song he jst didt have dreads at the time and he jst doesnt sing. he got kicked out of the group after this album was released

[mjalber]

I really wish someone woud flip the instrumental backwards too. beat sounds so nice backwards

[ruslanio]

That's crazy how they spoke some random language and backwards it came out to be English.

[C2CONTINUE]

Now that's satanic!

[gotjuice9]

waits for conspiracy theorists to explain how this is satanic.

[jjmaster99]

In this video that was reversed the audio and video isnt in sync! Can someone reverse the instrumental if possible! I would like to hear the song without the backwards talkin...

[dookiie]

if dey recorded the video that way how did the mouths match wit da audio in da end

[scottt]

art by mark gonzales?

[mawio]

hehe great you just saved me quite some work

[digitalpunk006]

The pop-up message at the beginning implies they sang the track in reverse, but in fact they just shot the video backwards. So the lip synching was reversed, but not the song itself.

Such a sick video!

[flashbejerkin]

so they lip singed backwards?????major skillz rite there

[WuTangChillaBee]

@flashbejerkin i know i thought that when watchin the real video.

[marcumus]

@flashbejerkin dumb ass

[TheMrMisterE]

@flashbejerkin Nah, you can see in the original video their mouths don't match up with the lyrics they're saying. But you can't tell unless you really look for it. Still a legendary video, regardless.

[sinetwo]

@flashbejerkin Yep, more impressive than today's lipsynching!

[gologabob]

@flashbejerkin Not really no diss but anybody can do it if you practice it multiple times.

[elbadfella]

@gologabob True, but with complex lyrics and the structure what The Pharcyde's actually saying..I'd like assume that it was difficult ha.

[rickylascaze001]

@flashbejerkin Yeah the lip synced the words backwards watch the official making of the video.

[Hoodyrulez]

@flashbejerkin

a documentary said they had to sit up in the studio and listen to the song lyrics backwards for days

[westamanda0777]

thats not fatlip, fatlip left the group before this song was made

[jtill23]

@westamanda0777 uh uh man, fatlip is in the video but has no verse in the song

[westamanda0777]

my mistake, i feel like a twat now ::P

[Benjahmmin]

LOL are u serious?

[sfchris]

If someone wants to synch this, you can synch the sound my matching where the voice ends (2:21) and where the guys face is close to the camera (2:26).

[sfchris]

Your sound is 5 seconds behind the video.

[almostashskater]

HAHA! the guy in the red jacket gets his hand crushed at 1:58, great song tho.

[MrAvenged]

@almostashskater haha so true!

[thatunit994]

aaaaaawesome

[ADAtl11]

Spike Jonze filmed them walking and messing around the city backwards...then Spike played the video backwards so the people in the back walk backwards only and the pharcyde walk normal..sort of lol

[BenjaminPFilms]

Hey nobody really know how it goes, huuh?

[DerekKnox1]

i've always wondered how they mouthed the vocals for this if its backwards :S

[RastaChaka]

The peculiarity of the music video to drop is that it was received with less than ten sections and is shown backwards. To the mouth movements in sync with the music can still look at the musicians had to practice long sections rap "backwards".

[MorCilinho]

they learned the song backwards so the lip syncro matched ;:)

[Darckcloud73]

The lip synch on this is all off. they didn't record this video by learning the song backwards. Most of the time you can't make out what they are saying and at some points you can seee that the lip synch doesn't match

[ColossalRofl]

Mike D and Adrock FTW

[sadziom]

Gotta listen properly, if its all so reverse song (piano loop, video), there gotta be hidden message! xD

PS: The 'cursor' should go from right to left! xP

[HobobotheClown]

LMAO!!!!!!

[Schmooveness]

i can't understand the video!

[colmadina]

The Video was recorded backwards meaning they had to learn the lyrics backwards aswell chuck in some reverse moves then they played the whole lot backwards with the soundtrack over the top. Shit! Does that make sense?

[bboyrx]

hahahah interesting!

[geniusgza7]

do it at normal speed

[Hoodyrulez]

they didnt record it like that

atleast hte music wasnt

[mchlljhnsn]

genius*

[mchlljhnsn]

also notice how the piano loop in the song is the right way but then it's reversed in the original

j dilla was genious

[pkfilms1]

do you know if j dilla sampled the piano loop. or did he make it?

[mchlljhnsn]

i'm not sure.

[birdsgotmyrocks]

well its j dilla he could of sampped it but its jdilla he could of made it

[CMJSpiers]

@mchlljhnsn ... funny it kinda makes sense as this is the Original in reverse C:

[kevinsmellls]

@mchlljhnsn I wonder if Spike Jonze noticed that and if that gave him the idea to do the video backwards??

[Kdzification]

@kevinsmellls That's exactly the story of this video

[mchlljhnsn]

how did they memorize all this

this video is the most amazing thing ever!

[kanyew3s]

dope dope dope cant fake the funk here

[GemGod122]

dope vid, sounds like another language

[superpoluha]

confusion dilusion, fo reel mang

[taaffeman125]
