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.
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.
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!!!
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...
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.
@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.
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).
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
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".
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
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?
Great post :D

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