Made on the cheap, and much much better than the last few he's done.

I like this, but it's hard to divorce Hype from videos like this where things are a bit less claustrophobic, but I guess that's the era we're in.true_fiction, October 15, 2007 9:49:41 PM CEST
We need more experimental Hype videos like this.otc, October 15, 2007 10:51:14 PM CEST
Good stuff. I bet you five bucks that it would look like shit on TV though.progosk, October 16, 2007 12:15:49 AM CEST
that felt good.spencefilms, October 16, 2007 5:11:48 AM CEST
I am not the biggest Hype fan, however i very much doubt Hype would ever produce a promo that "looks like shit on T.V' it may not look like a typical hype Video but i doubt it would look like shit. I am surprised no one has mentioned the obvious "Fear and Loathing" homages, from the opppening titles to many of the online effects, AND I think Hype tried to one up Giliam in terms of a Gonzo feel by choosing video as an originatiion format. Definately one of my more favorite Hype videos since "Gold Digger".true_fiction, October 16, 2007 5:34:34 AM CEST
Funny how 4 of the last 5 Hype videos have a Pharrell connection (Kenna is signed to Star Trak)c-dub, October 16, 2007 5:52:51 PM CEST
that was better than alot of the stuff Hype's been doing recently. Liked this one.loz, October 17, 2007 12:03:51 AM CEST
liked the tune, but really couldn't care much about the pictures... i dunno, i think more story less hype. or else just make straight hype, but this kind of in between hype is just hype.productisking, October 17, 2007 8:08:08 PM CEST
I am a big hype fan...more so because i am more attached to the mid 90's hip hop whose image that he helped mold. I must say though..that I immedietly say the "fear and loathing" references..and i am getting a little discouraged in his recent biting binge (stronger, fam-lay, etc) and he does do that alot. I am feeling his selection of artists though...and am still wondering what type of contract he has with pharrell...i mean damn! But a refreshing display nonetheless.kayser_sauze, November 25, 2007 5:26:53 PM CET
