This is an intriguing video from UK hip-hop legend Skinnyman, who produced one of the greatest UK hip-hop albums: Council Estate of Mind back in 2004.
However this song is called smoking ban and is accompanied by one of my favorite music videos ever. The song was initally made a few months after the UK smoking ban was introduced.
I enjoy the imagery and play on the word bang, which happens a lot. I think he looks dashing in his shiny pink suit and shiny green cowboy hat. You must realise even thought the video and song doesn't show it, he's an incredibly talented artist, even if he does look like a young version of Tim Westwood. (Who is also an easy target for unknowledgable people to mock)
I love both Skinnyman and Westwood in thier own way there are like father and son. Both brilliant and both misunderstood.
I still can't believe this video hasn't exploded and become a youtube sensation, but hey-ho, let's go.
