Oh boy, music videos are raining like confetti today.
Check out The Roots’ “Birthday Girl” video featuring adult entertainer Sasha Grey (but with no adult entertainment).

Cosign that to the fullest. If you missed it, here’s the unofficial one from a while back.

ian Says: April 14th, 2008 at 7:50 pm Video is garbage – the unofficial one from a while back is KILLIN’ this. Why this Cordero cat is getting so much work, esp. from The Roots, is a mystery to me. His stuff is so uncreative and boring – there are actually tons for directors out there who can work with little to no budgets doing way more interesting work than this. I’m one of the few people who likes this song but I liked it a lot less after I saw this video. |

esbee Says: April 15th, 2008 at 1:07 am The idea behind this version isn’t as creative as the previous one…. I disagree with ian on rik’s talents though..this vid is nowhere near a showcase of what the dude can actually do..I have a feeling this wasn’t his idea and the Roots just shot something and he did it the way they wanted it…who cares anyway its no longer the official single.. |
