• Comments: NOTE: This video is 5 years old, and was made with analog equipment (3 VCRs). I used VHS source put onto an SVHS master... this MPEG is pulled from a VHS copy of that SVHS master, so the video quality here isn't going to be very good. Sorry! ^_^;
  
  EQUIPMENT: 3-deck SVHS editing bay
  FOOTAGE: 51 different anime and live-action "Shaft" movie.
  WORKING DATES: September 1999 - April 2000
  CONS / AWARDS: Best Action Video (Anime Central), Best Fight Video (AWA 6), Best Various (AWA 6)
  
  BACKGROUND:
  I saw a sort of lackluster video to this song at A-kon a couple of years back and remembered thinking what a huge amount of potential it had, so I decided to take a stab at it.
  
  This video was fun as hell (and tough as hell) to make. "Mama Said Knock You Out" is probably one of the most stupid, pompous, puffed up mainstream rap songs out there, and the fact that L L Cool J (he of "Going Back to Cali" fame) is the vocalist just makes it rank higher on my camp-o-meter.
  
  I decided to play up that factor and just go overboard with the macho posturing and silliness. Hence the Shaft, Princess Rane, etc. footage.
  
  This was the last video I made on a linear system.
  
  I wish the video studio where I made this had had some sound editing software. I think the song goes on too long, and I wish I could have cut it shorter.
  
  Anyway, this music video is STUPID. It knows it's STUPID. It wallows in it and loves it.
