2503618, LOL @ this spoof of early 90's hip-hop music videos...

I thought this was funny.

The rappity rap lyrics.
Does hard heavy drums.
That dusty bassy looping sample.
That weird horn sound that comes in every few seconds.
The grainy look of the video.
The rappers running to nowhere.
The rappers brandishing a machete/firearm.
The burning fire from the trash can.
The way the video goes to slow motion every now and then.
The cameraman shooting the rappers from that angle where the sun is shining down.

I thought they got it spot on lol. Reminds me a couple videos.

There's more on their channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/breakfastllc

The comments from people who SWEAR that they remember the group from the early 90's were very much worthwhile.

2503718, I couldn't tell whether that was people trying to extend the joke

or people that actually believe that, I'd like to think the former.

I think most of them know that it's a spoof, they're probably just trying to extend the joke to confuse people who might of came across the the video without knowing that it's a spoof.

A few of them think it's actually a real video. I did when I saw it posted on a forum. Then I started to scroll down the page and saw the funny reaction to video, which confused me, until I went to the video page and saw the comments and their other videos.
2503637, the blurred out joint and guns lol

2503652, This is (mostly) brilliant.
Posted by AFKAP_of_Darkness, Thu Feb-10-11 09:39 PM
The only fuckup I see is that they shot it in broad daylight instead of in a sewer... and it's the wrong kind of grainy. It looks like video...

It kinda looks like a Pharcyde video on their second album.

Still quite awesome.

Yeah, they should of shot it at night time in and around an abandoned apartment complex. Still a good spoof though.
2504492, I actually think the field makes it more hilarious.

Like the sewer or hood would have been TOO obvious. The field at daytime is really like WTF?
2503719, that sounded like an organ rather than horn sound to me

i would cop an album of this.
2504239, Same here. 'Mattafact it says there's gonna be an album....
Posted by The Wordsmith, Fri Feb-11-11 09:40 PM
...with the following info in the YT link:

"I Getz" - Featured on the forthcoming album "Saturday Night" from supergroup Friday Night - dropping Feb 2011.


I want an album from them because between this joint and the other joints I've checked out, it seems they've done a damn good job catching the spirit of that era. This is an album I'd pay for.


Had to edit because the info was Summer 2010. I see on their page it's now Feb 2011

2504280, I found the Bandcamp link to the entire album.
Posted by The Wordsmith, Sat Feb-12-11 12:54 AM
Unfortunately, they only have it on share mode and aren't selling or allowing any downloads for now. Fortunately, I have download helper on Firefox and was about to pull a lil' magic. However, I did a lil' Googling and found someone on the Philaflava boards who already beat me to the punch. The quality is 128 kpbs but unless you can find a site selling a higher quality version (which the ripper couldn't find nor could I) this is better than nothing. If you need the enbocks, let me know.
