Our housemate Amy showed us this video yesterday. It is probably the best music video I’ve ever seen (this week). Here’s why:
- Speak’s strange rapping style.
- The opening monologue which is a shoutout to Biggie, Snoop, Dre, Tupac (his favourite) and the victims of 9-11.
- The bling car shot.
- “Yee C’mon”.
- The four warbling singers and those lyrics.
- The “Business” bit.
- This is supposedly no pisstake.
- THE LYRICS DUDE!
- The Chris de Burgh lookalike reaching for those high notes.
- The pigeon!
Here is Speak’s website.

I almost feel bad about slagging this, but then I realised: Wait a minute, he’s not retarded – this is the record he wanted to make. Very funny.
Absolutely classic stuff.
The chorus singers are obviously an homage to those guys doing the Tina Turner song on the pitch in Germany

The “business”.
I think the pigeon is representative of his pigeon English. Word to dee modder. Yee c’mon.
/me goes to search for it on iTunes
You can get it here, along with a hilarious speeded up jungle version

HAHA….easily the worst song I have ever heard.
I love his quote on his myspace page
“I dont want war, I just want peas! Check this. ”
well….peas are tasty with a little salt.
Oh no, Prison Break vs. Speak The Hungarian Rapper.
