I harsh a lot on music videos for their shameless name/label dropping b.s. and general stuntin. I get all heated over poorly cast video chicks, bad dance routines, even worse treatments, and white backgrounds. In the end though, I thoroughly enjoy the multimillion dollar music video. It is more than just a guilty pleasure of mine, I genuinely enjoy watching their suckitude. (unlike HFCS, which I actively avoid)
But have you ever wondered what you could do with a pack of extra-large pingpong balls, some color filters, a couple friends, and a half hour of tape? Apparently Consequence and Rik Cordero did, and the result is this totally awesome (and short) music video for Buggin' Out 2009. I am digging the simplicity and crazy eye antics. Sometimes less is more people. (aspiring video directors take note!). And how do I feel about throwing back to an old Tribe song? I'll co-sign that too.
Want to see more lo-fi video classics? Check out Mjeezy in Emancipation (you'll have to use your auditory imagination since YouTube went all gestapo) or my onscreen debut in ETwo.
(Nick is totally gonna kill me for calling his stuff lo-fi!)
hey that video was pretty damn good for two mins of three guys jumping around while wearing giant fake eyes. i mean, the song? whatever. but the vid has a nice catch to it.
and i'm not upset... i mean, my videos are beyond lo-fi... they're so raw that i call them below-fi!
OMG Emancipation is so boring without the music. i should just toss on one of my own songs.
Below-Fi - i think you just created a whole new genre (that covers like 90% of youtube)!
And yeah, emancipation makes no sense without minnie riperton.
