I looked at this and immediately thought of Busta Rhymes.

He would have loved this for Woo Haa

It's wild how awful so much of 90s/00s hip hop is looking back. Like I have rose-tinted glassed about that era because there was so much great stuff but sometimes a Ja Rule or Puff song comes up on the radio and I just think "goddamn we as a nation actually accepted this cornball shit at one point"

Re: Matrix ripoff videos



This came out in 1999 though and I don't really know when. Matrix was released in September so presumably after that but would be funny if they just used trailers for the inspiration lol.

The Matrix came out in April before Episode 1

You can feel however you want to feel about it, but the music today doesn't feel fun to me.

lol, I remember people who were 40+ years old back then saying the same thing, verbatim.

I tend to stick to trance and EDM so I have no real opinion on today's Top 40 but I thought that was funny.
That's true. I just don't find today's stuff really danceable. But you can't say as an EDM guy that it is the same wavelength it's always been. Well trance kinda is, but on the whole it's a different ballgame.

OP, what decisions are you making in your life that are leading you to watching the P.E. 2000 video multiple times in the year 2019?

And the effect was used in 1995 by Michel Gondry for Bjork's Army of Me, years before I saw it anywhere else.


It's not the Matrix effect. There is no movement between the frames. In The Matrix the speed of the action is fully divorced from the movement of the camera. In these videos it's just a series of still images from different angles. Not the same thing, but obviously a precursor to it. I remember they used it in some Gap commercials and the intro to the Howard Stern Show on E!.

The fact that Mo Money Mo Problems is as good as it is with P-diddy in it is an extraordinary feat

But imagine how wonderful it would be if you took him out and just added another Biggie verse

Imagine

Now I'm reminded that there were also Spanish and rock versions of this song.



Ah the late 90s / early 00s - era of rock/rap fusion. You had limp bizkit, rage against the machine, linkin park, Puff Daddy's experimentations, Rage against the Machine, korn (to a lesser degree they leaned far more into pure rock than say limp bizkit or Rage Against the Machine)
