nah I'm not hating on people hustling. But I'm saying this is like any other video from the low budget dime-a-dozen rappers who make a video with no creativity. Certainly people can make great stuff with little or no budget.
This isn't it. This is like every other corny rap video I see. Maybe it's cause I worked in a NY college radio station and saw them all.

this is still one of my favourite dubstep tunes with vocals
it can hardly be compared to the poison dart video when that
one is clearly exceptional, but i think this ones goes nicely with
the tune and its also a reminder that flow dan is not jay z and
doesnt have to have "hoe's" around him when he's spittin to feel
secure about his lyrics

Random question: How many times did Radarr Van harass you?
And I like the video, because unlike those dudes, Flow Dan and Killa P are great MCs. Swear to god, if the right big-head DJ started spinning "Skeng", shit would be HUGE!

lol, utterly pointless video. this tune got heard first nearly three years ago now. looks like it took about 30 seconds to come up with the "concept". Still better than that benga and coki video though.

And now it's the second single of The Bug's album.

Urban video checklist:
1. London/Major city. Check
2. Tower block/Rundown estate. Check
3. Sullen rappers/emcee's looking menacing and smoking spliff. Check
4. Black and white to give it a more 'gritty' feel. Check.
Nah not feeling this video at all, it is boring and cliche. With the backing of ninja tune would have hoped for something more creative to match the music.

Creative videos cost money, which come out the labels pocket, which gets held against The Bug's royalties. Add that to if he took any advance.
Just saying... sometimes, less is more for the person who benefits from it. The video is a promotional tune for the song, which is still a beast of a song.

best bit is the bug at the end shooting the camera, definately a comedy moment!

What does that have to do with the merit of this video? Creativity and imagination is free and I don't think this video is very good.

It obviously doesn't otherwise it would be called Skeng...or Ganga...or Warning....or Jah War.
If you don't have anything nice to say then don't say it unless you have more to back up your opinion.

Listen to them, there is now denying they sound extremely similar.

Similarities - but not extreme ones at that. Wouldn't dare say they are the same either. Maybe you should open up to a deeper understanding of music.
