zircon Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 My school cafeteria plays MTVU basically all day, which in turn has music videos going almost constantly. This one video has been played about 5-6 times lately but I haven't been able to check out the artist or song name. It's stuck in my head and so I gotta download it, even if it's crappy - you all know how that is All I know about it is the following; * It's recent * It's a rap song * There appear to be at least one black and one white MC * The video is mostly presented in the form of a black and white comic book, with certain panels containing the live action rappers * I think one of the lyrics is "Four and three and two and one" Been searching on google, mtvu's website, and youtube for awhile but I can't find it. HALP!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzumebachi Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 I dunno anything about a music video, but I'd start with the white rapper, since there aren't too many of dem wiggaz. Start with the obvious ones: Eminem Bubba Sparxxx Atmosphere (Slug) Everlast Cage Vanilla Ice etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Majin GeoDooD Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Google tells me that it may be "Countdown" by T.I. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zircon Posted March 22, 2007 Author Share Posted March 22, 2007 Majin, I can't seem to find much info on that artist OR that song, much less the video :/ Checked Yahoo, Youtube, Google Video, Google etc. Why is it so damn hard to find something simple like this?

tweex Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Try the iTunes Music Store. Since they let you listen to 30 secs of the songs, you can try to find it that way. If it's recent (which it sounds like it might be) it may be one of the more popular downloads and be in that small list over to the right of the window .

Katsurugi Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Majin seems to be on the right track, at least with the lyrics anyway. Your google-fu is weak, zircon. I got this on the first try. Finding a video might be trickier though. Countdown Lyrics by T.I.

zircon Posted March 22, 2007 Author Share Posted March 22, 2007 That's not it. For one thing, that's old... the video I'm looking for has gotta be recent, eg. a 2007 release (not 2004). Another thing, the lyrics are "Four and three and two and one" not "four three two one" which is a pretty big difference. I did check out the track on Amazon and it's way off. Thank you for the attempt at least... You'd think a search like "music video" "comic book style" would return useful results, but no, it doesn't. :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerrax Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Is it "Early Mornin' Troy" by Felt? http://www.myspace.com/mursandslug (scroll down to see the music video) If so, then weak google-fu indeed zircon. Got this as first result after a quick overlook of MTVU's video listing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cerrax Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 WTF did you put in Google to pull that up??? Am I to assume that I have found said song? I just looked at MTVU's video list. Since it uses some stupid Windows Media Manager or something that my computer doesn't have, I just looked at the screenshot for Early Mornin' Troy and noticed it was kinda cartoony. So then I googled that specifc video and found it on their myspace page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
