Dan Le Sac vs Scroobius Pip 'The Beat That My Heart Skipped' (dir. ??)
not really in the same league as 'thou shalt..'
title also quite resemblant to 'de battre, mon coeur s'est arrêté' by jacques audiard.
i reckon that's pretty weak. the tune doesn't match up to thou shalt either, but mostly the video's just not visually interesting; the reliance on something as jaded as 2 girls writhing next to the artist... the writing out of lyrics (AGAIN)... the artist shown on a tv in an attempt to make a boring performance better... the strip club setting...
i guess the difficulty with this is how much his lyrics play a part in it, and resisting the obviousness of simply filming out his lyrics (which they did very successfully to thou shalt). but then you run in to that on any hip-hop videos where the lyrics actually mean something, and they're not all wack like this.
