This "song" is nothing without The Clash's "Rock the Casbah". I mean, Will Smith (the Weird Al of Hip Hop) hacking together a pop hit from real music is like me throwing together a term paper by doing cut & paste from Wikipedia!
" What you do? " " See what had happened was... " " Jeff what did you do to KC man? " -looks- " He be Aight. " " Jeff speed this dude up before you break his neck. " " I'm trying it won't work. " " Give it here " " I got it " " Jeff give it here. " " I got i- " -remote hits floor- Ooooo lulz
Its pretty damn catchy. Its a song for every new years, not just for the turn of the millennium. I'm watching it, and cant help but think of how optimistic we all were back in late 99.. Those were good days. Its a different world now.
@poundsounds2009 totally agree!! By the way thanx man. I'd heard the original song many times before this sample but i did not know the name of the band..now I can look it up.
I'd be remiss if I didn't say....that Will is rap personified. His rap style, his sense of style in and of ITSELF! And, this song....with his artistic spin on it...It just made for a MONSTER MEGA HIT!! It's the whole reason why you can't sit still and just listen to it! You HAVE to bounce! and also...It makes you reflect on the times. Timeless talent.
I LOVE THIS VIDEO. HANDS DOWN THE MOST ENTERTAINING AMONGST ALL HIS PARTY VIDEOS. A creative look at the past, present, and future mixed with good ol' Will Smith humour. YEAH!! Good TImes.
This song is Rock the Casbah by The Clash; came out in 1984 on Combat Rock Album! Why didn't he a least credit them? Because if they didn't come up with it then he wouldn't have used it in his song....I am a fan of will smith, but i just wished he would have credited them; most people don't even know that this song was produced by the godfathers of Punk Rock....it's a shame.
