Posted by dickdondi, Sun Oct-08-06 08:12 PM
Cast:
Four women, “model”-types, cast as different 2pacs:
Barechest, tats (skin-colored synthetic with tats added)
Juice (blue carhart, hoodie, fade)
Red Wing Jersey
All Eyez On Me Vest (leather vest outfit)
& Six identically dressed dancers, in Fitted caps and white Ts.
& Fontley Benzworth (FB) or similar

---All “rain,” “splashes,” and “pours” come from buckets of water poured from above.
---The 2pacs filmed on black box soundstage
---Dancers filmed behind green-screen

---READ ALONG WITH LP VERSION
---START AT 0:29
-0:29 Stream of water being poured onto jade plant; libation
-0:35 Camera pulls out, revealing stream of liquid (pour out a lil’ liquor) onto bald 2pac head. Her chin is upturned, toward the sky
-0:37 <overfade to soundstage> Four six foot tall pawns, black, are clustered together at back stage. The 2pacs slowly push them apart, straining, as they emerge from behind.
-0:44 Drums enter. Camera starts at the feet of Fitted/T dancer and moves upward. Timberland boots are standing in inch-high water. Pans up to baggy jeans, white T hanging nearly to knees, white dust mask on face (http://www.sfpby.org/images/guy_with_mask_and_drawer.3.jpg) , fitted hat with Game Theory hangman logo stitched on.
-0:56 Pacs: Vested is cheerleading, Juice is skulking, Barechest and Redwing pacing back and forth, as if onstage
-1:01 Pac pumps chest, bboy/girl style
-1:05 <tight shot> Fitted moans “oooh” through safety mask, wagging head (like wolf to moon)
-1:06 <green-screen: > Fitted/Ts are in chorus line formation, kicking legs, splashing water.
-1:13 Still. http://www.illusiongenius.com/3-02-rab10.jpg
-1:14 2pacs continue to gesticulate
-1:27 <FUCK edit> FB uses umbrella to protect Pac from downpour
-1:29 <REEFER edit> Fitteds do dance a la sean paul video
-1:36 <tight shot> shows water rising at dancers’ feet
-1:38 2pacs tag-team rap lyrics. Start with “I’m bout to up the fees…”
-1:53 Still. http://images.encarta.msn.com/xrefmedia/sharemed/targets/images/pho/t013/T013776A.jpg
-1:56 <fireworks on the green screen> The Fitteds are frozen in motion as the image moves in background.
-1:57 <tight shot> Juice 2pac faces camera and mouths chorus as FB holds umbrella overhead, as water is “raining” down
-2:01<camera pans from left to right> The camera is tight on their faces; they don’t move. Their 6 hats spell out “HUSTLE” in various letter logos on each hat. The T, L, and E begin to do the chicken noodle soup dance after to the formation is made. “HUS” stands frozen.
-2:07 <even tigher, just her mouth> back to Juice Pac, mouthing “Get ‘em, Hus…”
-2:11 back to 2pacs getting crunk
-2:25 Still. http://images.heritagecoin.com/images/HNAI/75/14062/14062005011o.jpg
-2:26 <camera pans from left to right> the 6 fitted hats now spell out “R I T E O N”
-2:31 Still. http://www.captionmachine.com/photos/21.jpg
-2:36 Cymbal crash. Water pours on Juice Pac and she/he falls to the floor. FB gasps in horror.
-2:40 Still. http://www.architecturalrecord.com/news/katrina/images/LB-10.jpg
-2:43 <HELL edit>bleep
-2:43 < police car lights spinning on the green screen (strobe effect)> Fitteds doing the kid n play. Water keeps rising.
-2:51 Still http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B00005UDK5.01._SS500_SCLZZZZZZZ_V40892257_.jpg
-2:52 <tight shot> Vested 2pac faces camera and mouths chorus
-3:05 camera pulls back, showing Vested 2pac down to waist. As cymbal crashes Redwing 2pac catches a bad one: get bucket of water from above, collapses. FB in background, sniffing the neck of Vest 2pac.
-3:06 <M-16 edit> bleep
-3:07 The Fitteds do the engine, engine #9 dance: they crouch down lower and lower, now in waist-high water, on beat, during the turntabled-out too-hot-for-TV Malik B passage
-3:09-3:15<turntable-scratch out passage>
-3:16 The two 2pacs left standing give each other a high 5!
-3:17 The Fitteds, chorus line style, so the wop
-3:18 Jumpcut to the 2pacs doing the wop, until…
-3:21 <in slow motion> FB notices water about to splash-out Redwing 2pac, and he runs to him/her, umbrella in hand. But it’s too late..
-3:24 <FUCK AROUND edit> splash. Vested 2pac goes down.
-3:27 <KILLER edit>instead of hearing “the land where <the killers> dwell,” it’s “the land where <http://okayplayer.com/images/headerGT.gif> dwell”(a still).
-3:28-3:31 fireworks
-3:32 The Fitteds do the chicken noodle soup. But all we see is the top of their heads, and their hands (letting it rain and clearing it out) jerking to the beat.
-3:36 Redwing 2pac and Barechested 2pac in a shoving match to recite the lyrics in front of the camera. FB tries to break it up and gets pushed off-camera. Redwing 2pac gains advantage and blurts…
-3:39 “<IMPORTING HEROIN edit>,” <tight shot> said by Redwing 2pac with censor bar over mouth, followed by spitting.
-3:41 <black and white, slow motion> The Barechested 2pac shown shoving down all of the 6’ tall pawns.
-3:43 Shot of the six Fitteds dancing.. They come to a stop by 3:44
-3:47 The Fitted lift up their white Ts, the camera pulls out to show each member of The Roots’ face airbrushed on a Fitted’s stomach. Each dancers’ chest is heaving, out of breath.

THE END
