Heat 4 - "Sabotage" - Beastie Boys v "Drop" - The Pharcyde

[Crawliano]

This in my eyes should be a semi final. Big one this...

70s cops v it all going backwards. TOUGH.

 

[Crawliano]

Honestly, I really need to think about my vote, both are bloody great videos.

For the record Labcabincalifornia is one of my favourite hip hop albums ever, but I had to vote for Sabotage, I love that video.

I've been waiting years for us to have one of these battles so I could nominate Sabotage. Awesome song, awesome video. Now, after me....

I CAN'T STAND IT, I KNOW YOU PLANNED IT....

Arggh, had no idea this was on or that I'd been drawn against Sabotage. Bugger.

The Pharcyde "Drop". Dir. Spike Jonze
The entire video was recorded backwards, then reversed so it was forwards. So the members of Pharcyde had to learn the entire routine and perform it walking backwards, not only that but singing backwards. A linguist was brought in to create a new language that when reversed would lip synch correctly to the video so the group had to remember that aswell as the choreography. And to top it all it's shot in one continuous shot, it's an incredible acheivement and a stunning visual effect.

I'm-a set it straight, this watergate...SOLD.

Sabotage hands down winner for me.

Sorry Dras, epic video, but BB is just seminal.

 

[DTS]

Paracyde - Loved the song love the video.

 

[Crawliano]

Sabotage wins by a landslide. Feel sorry for Drastic, that video is awesome, it just came up against a classic.

I always get tough draws in 'Battles'. You'd think it'd get easier :'( (or I'd learn to choose more popular nominations)

Sabotage is a classic though, I can't be angry with the Beastie Boys.:clap:
