Rappers in limousines
Hi, sorry to do this but I'm looking for hip hop music videos with the artist and two ho's in the backseat of a limo. There's must be millions, but I just haven't been able to find that archetypal clip. It's lame, I know. Thanks Guys
Well, there's this one :)
[I need to tinker with that text, btw]
Yeah, it's amazing. The very first one that came to mind. I'd just like to find an example of the kind of stuff it's spoofing (Not sure if there is such a word)
yep, same one that popped into my mind...
Yup, same here
Yeah, same here
I think there was a Twista video that had a lot of limo shots in it, and I think it was called overnight celebrity. I'm sure its on youtube somewhere.
You'd be surprised how many limos don't appear in rap videos. What street thug would want to appear so posh? Besides the occasional limo during the 90's, when there were more rappers-in-mansion videos, limos are mainly associated with pimp culture and caricature.
The next vid that popped in my head was Marilyn Manson's "The Dope Show," oddly enough, followed by "Weird Al" Yankovic's "Gump," which kind of parodied the jacuzzi-fulla-hoes vibe at the end.
After that, I can't think of a single rap vid that had those. Not Trina, not The Roots, not 2pac or even a Hype vid..??
How about Madonna "Music" or nine inch nails "starfuckers, inc."?
Here's that Twista vid.
Here's D'Angelo's Cruisin', and Lil' Kim's How Many Licks
Maybe the moral of the story is that most vids that have hoes in the backseats of limos are just too crappy to remember.
um this one features ford and rappers in the back of a limo.
Re: limos - I've been trying to get to the bottom of this. One of the most seminal car/rap vids of the 90's was Let Me Ride, which kinda typified the whole P-Funk, low-rider phenomenon of the 90's. In it you barely see any of the girls get in the car (we ain't even talkin' limos) - and when one does, Dre smirks, then replaces her with another lady who's less trashy! But mostly, the ladies are outside of the vehicle, because the car is the man's domain. See also Nuthin' But a G Thang.
Another important video of the time is Ice Cube's It Was a Good Day. No ho's though.
Another relevant car vid is Coolio's Fantastic Voyage.
Hype also strapped a lot of rigs to cars, but did Puffy ever make him get a limo? Probably, but I haven't figured out which video..
The most recent limo vid I could think of was Jessica Simpson's A Public Affair.
Frankly all of these vids (save Jessica) need to be released on DVD. I'm glad NWA and Gang Starr just released DVDs. There are tons of important videos out there. It's only just recently that music video started taking a back seat here in America (to American Idol, MySpace, and YouTube).
Y'all remember dis un? Mis-Teeq - Roll On/This Is How We Do It
Thanks again, you guys are amazing..
