Top 5 thoughts while watching the above two videos
1. How in the world did Stress’ director convince Monch and Prince Po to shoot a scene shirtless and a snow field? Lung-collapsing pneumonia.
2. Q-Tip’s mustache in Stressed Out: ill advised or a bad idea? Seriously though, someone needs to document the trend of razor-thin facial hair on Queens rappers circa 96-97. Nas and Nore are repeat offenders.
3. How slamming was Faith Evans? She makes Rhianna look like Kelis here.
4. Stress samples the bass line from the Beatles’ Come Together. Future Prince Po collaborator Dangermouse sampled The Beatles’ White album years later to remix Jay-Z’s Black album. Jay-Z is a member of the illuminati who was in State Property with Tim House who was featured in “In the Cut” with…Kevin Bacon.
5. Much love to Phife, but his rudebwoy interruption in the Stressed Out video really takes away from the song. Save it for the remix son.
The above are best enjoyed with East-Coast weather, a bad work situation and a pound of cess.
