Re: IMO The best rap video of all time is Wutang's "Triumph"

Triumph? Boring mate.

That video makes the track even more plainly boring than it is on
record. All those big explosions, flaming bikes and killer bees and
you get a beat that sounds like a radio show bed track for doing phone-
ins over.
The best verse on it is Rae's as he's the only one who doesn't just
string a bunch of long words together (ah the RZA school of
intellect). Boring.
That track was what soured me to Forever, I reckon. Protect Ya Neck
was pure, messy, inspired energy wheras Triumph sounds bland and
perfunctory. Protect Ya Neck is "HERE WE FUCKING ARE, NOW FIEND FOR
OUT ALBUM BITCHES!!!" and Triumph is "Here are all the members of the
Wu Tang performing raps over a backing track to promote their upcoming
double album".

The video is good in a Transformers "The Beast Wars" kind of way but
if it's the best Hiphop video ever then Torque is the best biker movie
ever.
