Probably one of the 20 best hip hop videos, no? Either way, it's Hype at his Tooniest. (Gondriest, too?)

dir. Hype Daddy & Busta Remo

This video is one of the reasons I wanted to start making music videos...I can remember where I was when I first saw it...picking my jaw up off the floor...

I had not seen this in 5 years but it's barely aged.

If I remember right, some of the look was already cliche when it came out. But it put an end to the whole thing by doing it better than anyone else could. I can't think of any other track that could be used to similar effect.

Is there a term for the editing technique here? The subtile freeze frames are so unsettling.

It's so good. I can watch it over and over.. Getting the lyrics down is hard though. :)

I wish Busta and Hype would team up again. But maybe not, cuz Busta seems more adult now. And "Touch It" was dull, even though you don't see rappers golfing much in their vids.
