Back In The Day Buffet, Music Videos

BACKTRACK: Living Colour featuring Daddy-O Wonder Why You Wanna Give Them That Funny Vibe.

04.10.08 | No Comments | Posted by E.J.

Both this video and the song itself offer a really powerful look at commonly adopted stereotypes associated with young black men. It’s a bit dated in some respects, but there is an eerie omnipresence about the messages it contains. Sometimes it’s good to wonder just how far we’ve really come.

With regards to the music, Living Colour’s Vernon Reid remains one of the most impressive and skillful guitarists ever to adopt the instrument. Behind the breakbeats, you can find evidence of his mastery all through this song.
