but i'm sayin, i think it's pigeon-holing to put out a common video that's supposed to be a "poetry spot." because that song is HIPHOP, not "poetry spot." i got no personal problem with any poetry cats, but i ain't really into that shit, and i sure as hell don't think it makes for a hot video. i like the studio shit though, because you never see that in a video really, and that could be much more interesting.

but i mean, that whole "organic jam poetry spot" thing just leaves such a bad taste in my mouth, shit's so painfully cliche, the roots have spent the past 6 or 7 years trying to shake that image, i don't see why they should go out and reinforce it. it just feeds into all the jackasses who think that sampling isn't "real hiphop" and that BEP or arrested development is more hiphop than biggie.
