So I was "cruising the web" today, drinking pre-noon beers in an attempt to aide in nap taking. (i slept two hours the night before and I suck and nap taking, full story for another time) and as the clock rounded noon, I realized I was in fact drinking beers at noon on Tuesday! I can remember a time when I wondered what kind of person drinks beer at noon on a Tuesday. Years later......me, I'm that guy.
At any rate, I came across this video from the Pharcyde. Let's take a trip back in time, rewind back to 1996, I was a white suburban kid just starting college in the midwest . Some of the "coolest" music I could "bump" in my dorm room was Pharcyde's Labcabincalifornia. Indisputably, one of the best tracks on that album, or any other hip-hop album of the 90's was "Drop". I had never seen this video before today, and it struck a chord. The video was directed by Spike Jonze, the Rick Rubin of music videos. It's shot in reverse. Which was a new concept in it's time. Although not quite as impressive as Coldplay's "The scientist" video, in which Chris Martin learned and sang the song backwards, it is freaking good. Certainly one of the best hip-hop video's I've seen. get your freak on:
