Video Hype

Check it, here's Max & Dania's finished video for Ironik's 'Tiny Dancer', featuring Chipmunk and Elton John:

The video had it's UK television premier on Starz last Wednesday. (Basically Fizz went bankrupt a few weeks ago. The proprietors got all Enron on the paperwork, burnt the offices down and started up again under a new nom de plume - Starz. But don't worry, the formula's the same; they're still robbing £1.50 off children by getting them to text in requests for their favourite videos.)

And 'Tiny Dancer' is already whipping up a bile storm on Youth Tube. Here's what Aggiestaruk had to say:

'you do realise if u watch this video in detail it is rather nasty like chipmunk is spanking half naked ladys and girls are kissing its like a good song no lie but the video is kinda like off putting'.

That's how I roll. Making UK hip hop and grime videos that instantly alienate the artist's core fan base, but get rinsed on telly and tinternets.

In the words of Wiley as he walked off set on the Rolex video, 'this is white people's vision'.
