That video came totally out of left field for me.  I seriously think that's one of the best low-budget videos I've seen in a loooong time.

I just love the look of this video.  I wonder who the Art Director was, if it wasn't just the overall director.  Regardless, he/she did a really great job matching the visuals with the central topic of the song.  I loved how everything was shot with neon primary colors, and how the video had a slickly handheld feel.  I lol'd when Daz stuck his head out the ice cream truck window.   ;D

Come to think of it, this video reminds me of the one for Raekwon's "Ice Cream" from the Cuban Linx album.  Similar style videos for similar metaphore-themed song concepts.

Really impressed.  Major props to all the creative personnel involved in the making of that video.

CANDY video is = :banana_trippin:

I think they're talking about, you know, felatio, lol, for lack of a better word. (Giant NO HOMO)

Kurupt even says "I got the perfect substance to coat your throat" or something like that.  Obviously that's a felatio reference.

The video is OK, but the hook is soooooo bad. Just like "hat 2 tha back", the intros and hooks are sooooo awful, the songs are unlistenable. I can't believe they putting out this shit for singles. Get Butch, or Nate, or fucking anyone, TO DO YOUR HOOKS. And stop producing Snoop, its really a debacle.

People are too indifferent about music, how many songs are labeled "banger" around here. Music quality is way down, Snoop, Quik, Xzibit, DPG, all release incredibly below par music. I like a lot of music, but way too many people are accepting crappy music. When an artist can do better and they don't, don't buy it. People accept mediocrity, the artist think the fans like it, so they continue making it. WHEN something sucks, say so. When you don't like something, say so. Indifference in music is killing music. State your opinions, don't just accept shitty music.

i dont think people dont like the music, like u said were accepting tht music is changing, u maybe dont like that, but most people are just enjoying tht new music is coming out from ther favourite artists, surely u dont think dogg chit is tht bad, and the new digital smoke is "bangin" no doubt
