MOP featuring Busta Rhymes, Teflon, and Remy Martin-Ante Up Remix


The club is full of punk rockers. The club manager appears in the back room to tell MOP and company that while the capacity crowd is eager to see everyone perform, it is a crowd that they may not be accustomed to. Busta Rhymes, presumably speaking for everyone, says that he is undeterred, and would like to put on a very good show.


Busta takes the stage and immediately the crowd is energized. Between shots of him on the stage and in the crowd, Busta performs his verse. The crowd abides enthusiastically. During Busta's verse, scenes of people behind chain-link fences are also shown.


As Remy Martin takes the mic, she is shown on stage as people crowd surf; she also appears to rap her verse in the backroom where the video began. People slam dance, and are shown behind fences once again. Remy reminds us that she, "Wants them goddamn Diamonds."


Billy and Lil' Fame sing the chorus, as more people slam dance, and dreadlocked women yell along with them. As the hook ends, a women is shown in restraints in a cell, reminiscent of a mental institute.


Teflon raps his verse while in the mental institute mentioned above, and also on stage.


Lil' Fame appears next, appearing in the mental institute, on stage, and backstage. As Fame raps his verse, a more hip-hop oriented crowd begins to filter into the club.


When Johnny takes over the mic, the mental institute has been converted into some sort of club, where he raps, and in the original club, a tense atmosphere has developed because the crowd is now 50 percent punk rockers and 50 percent hip-hoppers. Women make-out.


As the last chorus is sung by Billy and Fame, the two factions in the crowd realize that they share a common interest, and begin to wile out together. As the video ends, various individuals sing the lyrics in front of a large MOP banner.


Addendum: Remy Martin, or Remy Ma as she is currently known, was sentenced to eight years in prison for shooting a friend, as of 2008.

GZA-Liquid Swords


GZA and The RZA hand out in various locales while GZA raps. At times, they are seen hanging out on what would appear to be an asphalt school yard that has a large black and white clock painted upon it. There are intermittent clips of a chess board and chess moves; at other times various members of the Wu Tang Clan are seen in the studio, writing rhymes, practicing rapping, among other things.


There are also clips of GZA and The RZA walking through an industrial area, and what could also be a park. Later, they drink liquor while in the studio or a bar. An unidentified individual sits in a basement throwing LPs at the wall; tarantulas climb on the broken records. GZA reminds that sandals are feminine.

Big Pun-Still Not A Playa


Big Pun arrives at the docks via chopper to meet Joe to go to their respective clubs. When Pun uses his chopper alarm clicker all in attendance are startled, prompting them to reach for what the viewer would imagine are their guns. All have a good laugh about the situation and hug.


The duo arrive at their adjoined clubs, named Joe's and Big Pun's. After thinking things over for a moment, Pun decides to enter Joe's, and Joe enters Big Pun's. Pun enters Joe's and the performer is removed from the stage so Pun can rap. The club is packed. In Big Pun's, Joe is surrounded by numerous voluptuous women while he sings; one of the women has a Chihuahua (lax health standards?). Pun then also raps in some sort of disco-ball room, which could possibly be located in the back of Joe's. He is alone.


Fat Joe shows up and is apparently up to some mischief, as his body movements would imply. Fat Joe peeks into Big Pun's, and then peeks into Joe's. The performance continues. Fat Joe makes his way to a different backroom in Joe's (not the disco-ball room), and looks through a peephole and observes that the party is still going strong at Big Pun's. Pun now raps surrounded by beautiful women. Fat Joe scratches his head while forming a mischievous plan.


Pun arrives in an alley lit by white string bulbs on a motor-scooter, and also raps on a corner in the rain at night while his assistant holds an umbrella for him. He also raps in the alley while sitting on the scooter.


Fat Joe once again looks through the peephole; the party is still going off, and he smiles widely as he has formulated a plan. His motives are unclear. Joe shows up in the alley to dance, sans Pun. As the revelers continue to dance, Joe is shown on a stage dancing by spotlight, and The Terror Squad also dances in the spotlight.


Fat Joe gains access to the main circuit-breaker for both clubs, and his plan comes to fruition when he cuts power to both Joe's and Big Pun's. Fat Joe winks into the camera, apparently very pleased with himself. All watch as the lights go off in the clubs. As everyone spills out of both clubs, there is a moment of confusion, until the revelers simply continue dancing and enjoying themselves.


Fat Joe is briefly shown surrounded by women (one wonders if his subterfuge was unknown to them), Big Pun exits the alley on his motor-scooter, and also walks of the corner with his assistant in tow.

Notorious B.I.G-Mo' Money Mo' Problems


Puffy Woods is about to attempt the winning putt at the Bad Boy World Champion PGA Tour, hoping to knock off three time champ Fuzzy Badfeet; Mase Gumbel is reporting. As Mase commentates, Puffy sinks the birdie putt and wins, leaps into the air in jubilation, and it is noted that, "he is unstoppable."


As dancers clad in white dance in front of pyrotechnics, Puffy and Mase intermittently rap in various locations. The locations include: a space station of sorts where they wear yellow goggles, a space warp tunnel where they wear red running suits, and a spot in front of the Unisphere where they wear bluish metallic outfits.


The action stops for a moment and Mase, back on the golf course, asks Puffy how he feels about winning the Bad Boy World Champion PGA Tour. Puffy thanks his deceased friend, The Notorious B.I.G. for metaphysical help on the winning putt and telling him to cool out. Mase then asks Puffy if winning the tour means mo' money, mo' problems for Puffy, and Puffy laments, that it does.


The aforementioned action then continues.


Archival video footage of B.I.G. follows, and he too laments that mo' money means mo' problems, while barely managing to breath. B.I.G.'s verse is then shown as archival footage; Puffy and Mase watch it from the space station, and the video is shown at a white clothes themed dance party as people dance.


As the various scenes described above are repeated, Puffy boards a car in order to leave the Bad Boy World Champion PGA Tour in slow motion, and other men walk in slow motion. A final scene, briefly shown in the very beginning is re-inserted, showing Mase and Puffy in slow motion in front of explosions and falling money.

Gang Starr-The Militia


A gang of crotch-rocket riding female assassins is dispatched to kill "The Militia," a crew that is made up of Big Shug, Guru, and Freddie Foxxx.


Big Shug is caught up in a bar fight and is dispatched by a grenade, even if when he's "caught up in a jam [he'll] blast his way out." He fought to his death.


Guru is caught up by a motorcycle helmet wearing assassin in an abandoned building and is pushed out a window to his death. He falls for a long time.


Freddie Foxxx drives for a while while rapping, and then is pursued by assassins on motorcycles. He posts at some spot, and then it is revealed that Big Shug and Guru had not in fact died; Big Shug had a protective steel wall put in place just before the grenade was thrown, and Guru had in fact fallen on a flatbed truck covered with cardboard boxes driven by Big Shug. As the assassins face off with a rejuvenated Militia, the ending is left to the viewers interpretation.

Nas-Street Dreams


Nas is chilling with the dude from The Sapranos that got shot and then had his head run-over, in a bad, bad suit. In the desert. He gets in a car and is blown up.


What follows is a montage of Nas in Las Vegas doing stuff for the guy from Sapranos; at some point Nas' girl is involved with some dude that gets mashed out by the Sapranos guy. Nas is bummed or something. I forget. Then it goes back to the original scene with dialogue, and Nas gets blown up again.
