Last week saw the release of the long awatied video of Tempa T's Next Hype, one of the grimiest songs of 2008/9.
Tempa T or Tempz to those you are unfamiliar with his work, is an artist who's lyrics basically consist of physically harming people in various different ways, robbing people and destroying things. Not very much socio-political commentary or satirising of recent events or intelligent word-play here.
The video starts off with Tempz working at Pars'R'Us and being called into his bosses office, who happens to be Tim 'bloody' Westwood. Too good to be true. Westwood then procedures to try and act and persistantly looks at his script. The scene then ends up in Westwood firing Tempa which ensues chaos with Tempz running amok. Watch the brilliance!
My favorite scene was when he was chasing a man with a kite. Its a shame there was a wealth of testosterone-endused scenes of Tempa T either working out or just oiled up, which frankly was unnecessary for the video. There was no need for that in my opinion. Conversly it makes up with the appearance of Westwood who only dropped some acting bombs rather than the fictional music-based bombs he drops in his weekly show.
However good this video was, I think that Tim & Barry who made it were inspired by the follwoing video as looks awfully similar Tonx Tantrum's Just Me. which is awfully similar to Tempa T.
Note the strong homoerotic overtones, the car jacking scene, the similar style of the video and the unnecessary flexing of muscles. I think a potential lawsuit is on the cards.
