the party break update

motherfuckers are trying to gentrificate fatman scoop. just this morning we were watching mtv and "be faithful" came on. it was cool for like one second cuz i didn't know there was a video, but shit is problematic:

- there's no credit for the crooklyn clan or faith evans. i mean come on, i know scoop gives it his all with the party chants and shit, but dude should get a proper job before he gets sole credit on anything. i started shouting like that once at a club but instead of making me the toast of the pre-club barristas, they tossed my ass out and banned me for three months.

- the video is on that stupid skint/uk dance lam0r tip where a computerized scoop has a big head and goes around some toytown place which as far as i remember is what happened in the "sweet like chocolate" video too, like you can just apply that technique to any song ever. still, i'm sure mixmag are impressed. the only way this song should be heard if you aren't actually dancing to it is to watch julia stiles rip it up in save the last dance, a moment almost as amazing as when she danced on a table to "hypnotize" in ten things i hate about you. don't pretend it didn't change your life too.

- this means the final credit should run crooklyn clan featuring faith evans, julia stiles, e crunk, & fatman scoop.

- it's being rereleased because of some album called something like fatman scoop presents party breaks volume one, which will probably be hot but then what will be left for the dj's who want to drop an element of surprise in their hiphop set if everyone is listening to these tracks on their aiwas. people will have to come up with their own blends. honestly, it doesn't bear thinking about, so i won't.
