Eddie Murphy and Michael Jackson
I think this is a really important work. And so to look past it would be a real shame. Whatzupwitu?
"hey man can I talk to you for a second?.....what’s up with all the motherfucking jokes? you don’t like Michael motherfucking Jackson? Ill moonwalk all up and down your ass!"
Sweet Jesus! Surely that's not them getting an award for the whassup song? Oh my god it is- I've just noticed 'American Music Awards' behind them. Why is Eddie Murphy dressed as Freddy Mercury in the video?
Surely the pilot for the old Budweiser 'Whassup' commercial campaign
From my comment:
Wayne Isham 1-upping/stealing Jim Blashfield's Sowing the Seeds of Love. Both were Breakthrough Videos on MTV, even though Blashfield already made his 'breakthrough' with Talking Heads "And She Was". They both kinda have that hippie-consciousness vibe that was a trend in mv from 1989 to around 1993 - hell, Whatzupwitu probably put the last nail in the coffin. I'm not sure it worked for Eddie. ..or Michael. (btw I love this vid)
Nice, but it worked even better a few years later when they added Magic Johnson to the mix.
To be a stickler, Remember the Time came out a year before Whatzupwitu, but your point still stands. "Do you remember the time, when we had budgets.."
Kev ive been watching this everyday since you posted it... i can't get enough.
I look forward to seeing its influence in your coming vids. ;) Maybe a flying note or two??
HAHAHA!
