Brilliant visual interpretation!I liked this song from the first time I heard it but I have to admit I thought it was just a catchy tune laid under regular ol' fun and boastful hip-hop lyrics.
This video has been a bit of an eye-opener. It follows the lyrics faithfully and made me pay more attention to the song and it revealed the message underneath the bright hook-laden record.
It performs the very essence of a music video's intended function - it makes the song become more than what it already was to the viewer.

I am amazed. I absolutely agree that the video enhances the song and emphasizes the message. Also I like how explicit it is without being explicit by using the advantages of the drawn style, making the shape part of the content and more than a fancy eyechatcher.doubleplus, 5. September 2008, 01:12
Well done. Nice style, and a number of little visual puns to the lyrics in there as well. But great details, very convincing world, and well used effects.
