How much scarier could this possibly be?

Please....someone defend it!

Bobby Brown is starting to look like a sleepy Ol' Dirty Bastard.

Big Bobby Jesus! *ducks*

So much glaring, over-singing and silly dancing. It's really horrific.

It has a big helicopter in it....

It's dreadful beyond description and handily encapsulates virtually everything that's wrong with music, nay, popular culture today!

Ja Rule = Cookie Monster. Discuss.

You just want him to cough and spit out the huge greeny he so obviously has stuck in his throat, but he never does. JUST FUCKING COUGH MAN!

no, guy from Cannibal Corpse = Cookie Monster
Ja = Grover

I like how they answer the lady's question about when they're gonna make a video by pointing out the helicopter outside their window. Evidently for Ja Rule helicopters immediately imply a video shoot is afoot (unlike hot air balloons, which mean he's about to leave one). Evidently he never saw GODFATHER III.

Also, does anyone else get weirded out by the decontextualization of the word MURDER? It creeps me out to see these mindless playa wine'n'groove videos and the word MURDER is in big letters in the background (not to mention happily shouting MURDER! in the middle of a song). Would they have gotten away with RAPE INC?

Best example of that is in "Gangsta Lovin" - it's pretty odd starting off the most nutrasweetish rap track ever with "MURDER INC RUFF RYDERS!", as if it's all about homocide and dangerous sex.

Also, how much of a hardcore muthafucka has Bobby Brown turned out to be! Someone give him a Strepsil already!

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Monday, 16 December 2002 23:55 (twenty-three years ago)

is Whitney Houston a tenderoni?

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Monday, 16 December 2002 23:59 (twenty-three years ago)

Bobby Brown hardcore? LOL...... he's about as hardcore as my last turd, after an all night sushi-and sake-fest. Come to think of it... both kind of look the same too.

My question is this: If things are so great and normal and going well between Psycho Whitney and Scary Bobby Brown, why is he out thuggin' and posing with scantily-clad vixens with Ja Rule? If I were Whitney and I saw this video, I'd go off on a crack, acid'n'amphetamine bender to rival Syd Barrett.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Tuesday, 17 December 2002 04:09 (twenty-three years ago)

Syd Barrett did crack?

― James Blount (James Blount), Tuesday, 17 December 2002 04:13 (twenty-three years ago)

Well, probably not, but back in his day, I doubt he'd have said 'no' to it.
