Off the fourth installment of Guru’s renowned Jazzmatazz series, this collabo track has been in my heavy rotation for a while and should be in yours. The video to match is superb to say the least. A throwback to the good ol’ days, it’s unreal: cartoons never looked and sounded so grimy.
Enjoy (and just be yourself)!
EDIT: The video utilizes various clips from Robert Crumb’s ‘Fritz the Cat’ (Big ups to our pal James for the find! ;-P)
Next up we’ve got:
Young Buck + Latoiya Williams - ‘U Ain’t Goin’ Nowhere’
Sure it’s a pretty weak track, but hey, I gotta keep things balanced, right? At least you can get to see Buck Marley dancing by the sea….. (pause)… You might wanna crawl back up to that Guru vid.

Nahshon: purely for the laughs. Seriously though, I believe representing both sides of the picture presents to the people the wide gap between what you hear on the radio and what you don’t. I kinda prefer the latter, but hey, who am I to judge, right?
dcmdva: Fair enough, at least from a cinematographic viewpoint. Wow, is that even a word? Guess so…
What the fuck is that Guru video? A cartoon? That’s wickety-wack to me.
Are you trying to tell me you couldn’t get two rap legends together to do a video? It didn’t have to be directed by Hype Williams, but damn — a cartoon?
Now here’s the real kicker. I think that Young Buck joint is bangin’. (No Caushun)
The video is wack. They could have chosen a better treatment than the standard “Rapper gets seduce by hot ladies on a exotic locale” bullshit treatment.
Forget these two videos. Nelly’s “Tip Drill” clip is more entertaining than these two duds.
Trent is right. The Young Buck video is super generic (but will prolly work where it needs to: BET, MTV2 etc.) but that track is a banger. Anyone saying otherwise is really hating.
As long as it’s good I don’t really care if it’s groundbreaking or not. There’s only a few visionary cats like Kanye who can manage to do both anyway.
