Music video by Xzibit performing What U See Is What U Get. (C) 1998 Loud Records LLC vevo.ly/4B6tPE
Пікірлер
The choreography and direction for this video deserves an award. These continuous shots, no cuts, no edits and Xzibit perfeclt in sync too... To shoot with a steadycam on film you could barely see what you had just shot back then, and would usually have to do more takes "just incase"... Not like digital today where you could play it back in HD. This is crazy impressive. LOL and the director works in the adult film industry too 😆

I remember when this CD came out. It's my favorite album from Xzibit. As I'm watching the video yet again some 20 years later, I realize what a good message the video actually brings: ¹no matter what is going on around you stay focused. ²Do what you went out to do ³get what you went out to get. ⁴Let all the foolish people around you do foolish things. Don't become a part of it, just go and "get the milk". Fill in whatever word represents your passion or goal is in life and substitute it for the milk. There will always be distractions around you. Sometimes things are not always what they seem. Sometimes they are. Watch all the characters and each scenario again with this in mind and you will see what I mean. Well-done Mr. X to the Z(and whoever wrote, produced, and directed this).🎯
@40EntrepreneurDrive3 жыл бұрын
Yo! You are the only person I know that fully got the meaning! It goes with the part that says ..."That could hold his own flesh & bone/And no matter where I go I'm feeling right at home" It was a metaphor for saying stay strong & focused, and was reflected well in the video. The director Michael Lucero (also directed Nexts Butta Love with them having lunch dates on top of the Brooklyn Bridge, another metaphor for how when a couple is in love, they feel elevated above everything else) had a great vision for this video with Xzibit. Lucero was a dope up and coming director that work with artists on the verge of breaking through. He died in a car accident, that's why you see the video dedicated to his memory at the end. He was about 25 years old at the time of his death. I wonder what he would be doing now.

X is one of the rare guys who never dissapointed me,every single album is at least a good listen through, not one track i need to skip in his carreer! top 10 dead or alive!
The choreography and direction for this video deserves an award. These continuous shots, no cuts, no edits and Xzibit perfeclt in sync too... To shoot with a steadycam on film you could barely see what you had just shot back then, and would usually have to do more takes "just incase"... Not like digital today where you could play it back in HD. This is crazy impressive. LOL and the director works in the adult film industry too 😆
The camera angle following him with all that action in the background is genius and the transitions are just pure gold. Whoever filmed this had a ridiculous script to execute and they killed it
They don't make videos like this no more
Ahead of their time I'd say
Reminds me of the verve bittersweet symphony video for some reason

Dig deeper
I remember when this CD came out. It's my favorite album from Xzibit. As I'm watching the video yet again some 20 years later, I realize what a good message the video actually brings: ¹no matter what is going on around you stay focused. ²Do what you went out to do ³get what you went out to get. ⁴Let all the foolish people around you do foolish things. Don't become a part of it, just go and "get the milk". Fill in whatever word represents your passion or goal is in life and substitute it for the milk. There will always be distractions around you. Sometimes things are not always what they seem. Sometimes they are. Watch all the characters and each scenario again with this in mind and you will see what I mean. Well-done Mr. X to the Z(and whoever wrote, produced, and directed this).🎯
Yo! You are the only person I know that fully got the meaning! It goes with the part that says ..."That could hold his own flesh & bone/And no matter where I go I'm feeling right at home" It was a metaphor for saying stay strong & focused, and was reflected well in the video. The director Michael Lucero (also directed Nexts Butta Love with them having lunch dates on top of the Brooklyn Bridge, another metaphor for how when a couple is in love, they feel elevated above everything else) had a great vision for this video with Xzibit. Lucero was a dope up and coming director that work with artists on the verge of breaking through. He died in a car accident, that's why you see the video dedicated to his memory at the end. He was about 25 years old at the time of his death. I wonder what he would be doing now.
@@RamonExtraordinaire1 Actually from what I read and from what Xzibit said it was directed by former porn director Gregory Dark, who went to film music videos after working with Xzibit on this video. He worked with Outkast on The Art of Story Telling video and other artists afterwards. Here is a list of videos that he’s directed: kzhead.info/channel/PL0QFDUXn1p9QvhRz3as0twfewO7ddYPOq.html

I’m in my forties so when that video came out, everyone loved it. It was considered one of the best videos of that year, and if you ask me, it can still hold his own with today’s visuals. Cameos by King Tee, da Liks, all part of the same winning team. Great moment in hip hop history.
and Flavor Flav (PE) :)
Don't forget Rass Kass and Flavor Flav!
Grips of people were there Ras Kas, Safir, Mad Lion, all the others. Mid-City all in the vid. I moved into the area a couple years after this video. But I used to see X and the whole Liks crew all over SoCal like at Unity before that dude got smoked.
@@villedocvalleWho got smoked?
the best xzibit song imo. this is how I will always remember X to the Z. Play this on any PA system and watch people react to the beat on the verse.

xzibit like a West coast version of methodman

I am just here because I listened to this song for years. Not because of Breakfast Club. I listened to Xzibit before his Pimp My Ride show. Dude was always a solid rapper with substance. First rapper to use live orchestra on the record. Xzibit - Paparazzi. Dude deserves more respect, before him no one used live orchestra

I don't know if you'll ever see this because I think I'm still shadowbanned ; but you really should check out the hrsmn project ( horsemen ) with Killah Priest , Canibus , and kurupt ... excellent songs like The Horsemen Are Here , Shakey Love , Places where Pharoah Goes , Scrolls ... just about the whole album is a masterpiece and really was so overlooked ... Check out the discography of Killah Priest and you will get exhausted just from how prolific the guy is . And don't forget the genius of Canibus and kurupt ... what a combination of the four of them : INCREDIBLE . If anybody turns on to that album and likes it please let me know ...
