Trust Chris Daly, he’s a doctor.
At this stage in the game, we’re used to seeing the more comical side of Killer Mike and El-P in videos as they destroy things. Whether it’s their take on Tiny Tim and Xmas sweaters in “A Christmas Fucking Miracle,” kidnapped puppets in “36″ Chain,” or what really happens behind-the-scenes in an ambulance,” RTJ consistently balance the hardcore with enough levity to let the listener in on the joke. Hell, there’s an entire video of El-P auditioning cats for the “Meow the Jewels” remix album.
For “Oh My Darling (Don’t Cry),” the duo changes things up a bit. Largely consisting of the two men angrily engaging the camera head on, we’ve also got plenty of weird lens tricks and oddly framed naked women of the highest caliber (just because you’re shaking that ass doesn’t mean your mama didn’t raise a lady). The visuals become more unhinged as the song progresses, kind of like the band itself. Disagree–well, you can take El-P’s advice and run naked backwards through a field of dicks.
