Wow I didn't know Jones did this. This is still one of the most artistic hip hop videos to this day. No half naked bitches washing down expensive cars with a bunch of unhappy looking niggaz standing around talking about how hard they are.
hah hah! I remeber when this video first came out. My friend angel called me on the phone completely irate. He was yelling turn on your TV! turn it to BET, NOW! then I saw what he was seeing.... thanks spike, thanks pharcyde, thanks angel.
this director is so brillant. one concept for his reasoning to make the video completly backwards is to follow the production of this beat. The song has a synth sound that is on a continous loop. If you listen to it the sound has been reversed and is being played backwards through out the song. Spike achieved making this video and song combine in similarites. (no spell check, i know)
buen uso de la motion cam, muy bien acopladas las partes , y hasta aparicion d 2 personas usadas para samplear la voces del inicio. una palmada mas para spike jonze. Bravo.
I saw this on the collection of spike jonz vids and I got to give the band credit for having the balls to rap, walk, and do this video backwards in the unsuspecting public.
whats crazy abotu the fmaking for this video, pharcyde the group actually had to learn the lyrics backwards so when they reverse the video it can look as if their rapping the lyrics if you know what i mean.
WHEN U R READING THIS DONT STOP OR SOMETHING BAD WILL HAPPEN MY NAME IS SUMMER I AM 15 YEARS OLD i have BLONDE HAIR , SCARS no NOSE OR EARS I AM DEAD IF U DONT COPY THIS JUS LIKE FROM THE RING COPY N POST THIS ON 5 MORE SITES OR I WILL APPEAR ONE CREEPY NIGHT WEN UR NOT ExPECTING IT BY YOUR BED WITH A NIFE AND KILL U THIS IS NO JOKE SUMMET ING GOOD WILL HAPPEN TO U IF YOU POST THIS ON 5 MORE FLASH BOXES
i give huge props to both the directer spike jonze and even the artist
it is an amazing feel to know that there are still people doing stuff for the art and not the hoes
i hope i can make a video as good as this in my future :)
