check ourselves

For this first blog, we must take it back with a throwback, and since we are from L.A. it's a must that we select a westcoast classic. It's "Check Yo Self" by Ice Cube and Das EFX, think it came out circa 93. The video was the continuation to Cube's "Today Was A Good Day". Did Ice Cube pay a visit to the wishmaster or something?? That fool hasn't aged at all!


Why we like this video:
*It's an obvious classic!
*It makes sense unlike so many current ones (so many songs don't make sense so it's kinda hard to make the video make sense).
* It has an obvious storyline and a good one at that!
*Ice Cube was spitting knowledge, listen to those lyrics! It was so appropriate for him to sample Grandmaster Flash's "The Message". Everytime I hear/see the line "now ya name is just 'Twan", my stomach hurts from laughing!
