That Layzie Bone example is perfect, why did everyone in this era (with the budget) have to do a James Bond (Roger Moore era) impression? With elaborate costumes and set pieces for some shyt that has NOTHING to do with the songs title or content....

Not to forget the post apocalyptic videos, where for no apparent reason (yes I get 'Nastradamus and 2000 but still) the video is shot and designed like some sort of 'Mad Max' tribute.....

dead at Nas playing with the tv's in the beginning....still dope to see Nas and that QB chain spitting grimy bars over that track.






Or the soundtrack video with the very dope and creative concept of LL rapping from the perspective of a fukking great white shark...

'battle to the death thats how sharks play'

'I'll eat your ancestors....the ocean is haunted'

'underwater storms your blood is so warm...your life vest is off and thats TURNS ME ONNNN'

:dead:

Deepest, bluest, my hat is like a sharks fin. Corny as hell LL.

So many class/weird videos from the 90's.
They almost had too much money in those days

There was actually a platinum thread on Sohh about that Willy D Clean Up Man joint.

I always wondered why the fukk they made a video about hunting and fighting ants :childplease:

:pachaha:

The director heard the word "exoskeleton" and must have thought the song was about putting gps trackers inside ants.

This may be be one of the more jarring examples, of 90's excess run amok....

1. A misguided and ill conceived group album, severely lacking any real talent

2. The videos fukking concept.....Eviel Kniviel and leather jumpsuits? American flag apparel riding a motorcycle over the whole crew?


3. Meeno's infamous out of the cannon introduction to the world :mjlol: what does that man do for a living in 2015

4. uhhhh Baby Stase uhhh Baby Stase

What corporate think tank dreamed up this debacle? If you just say the video concepts out loud, I don't see how these got greenlit, time and time again...

Truth is, jokes on me....cuz this shyt was hot to me in 99, and I had the cd.....

I am 29, so the late 90's are tinged with such a nostalgic light, that was when I really got into the game....
