one of the best hip-hip videos of all time?

Music videos went nuts in the 90's I have to agree there. Artist were making so much money. I was working at the Hit Factory in New York for most of the 90s and I have some crazy stories.
 
Not sure which bothers me more; the self-indulgence of the video or using a sample of Enya to create a lesser quality song. (She reportedly sued them and the case was settled out of court.)

Don't mess with Enya! All she has to do is hum and she creates better music than the Fugees, and all hip-hop artists, combined.

thats a little harsh, pk. Self indulgent? sure, but like rich and I were talking about, it was a sign of the times.

And as far as Enya, she's absolutely amazing, but I'm sure there are a lot of Fugees fans out there that could would listen to her track and simply go "... I like the Fugees song better"

Both artist have their place :)
 
After watching that video, and others like it from the 90's, I'm pretty sure that's why we're in a recession right now. All our money went into 90's music videos!

Cheessailor77 - I know music is subjective. I wrote the book on subjectivism. Although I felt the book was mediocre at best. :)

The Enya comment was a joke. I was petending to be an over-the-top mega-fan. Like the "Leave Britney alone!" guy. (Although, sadly, he was being serious and, sadly, I wasn't being funny.)

But there is no denying that Enya is the Chuck Norris of music. If Enya burped the alphabet it would be in perfect tone and women around the world would listen to it while they lit candles and relaxed in a bathtub with the one they love. Her music would cause world peace and end hunger, but she doesn't allow it because she enjoys watching humans suffer.

Don't mess with Enya! The Fugees did and look what happened. They got pwnd by a soft-spoken woman humming to the beat of a Casio keyboard.

But enough joking about Enya. I don't want to make her mad because I really want her to sing at my wedding.
