Nuff respect to Kanye West and Okayplayer for providing a visual for one of my favorite mixtape cuts of the year! Bentley Farnsworth's upcoming CD (whenEVER it drops) is at the bottom of my list of "must-haves," but this single--"EVERYBODY"--is a pretty strong contender for "knock-worthy beat #1" on my next cd burn. Enjoy, and let me know if it moves your BACK-ground.

I love it! It has a very retro, or should I say Old school vibe to it. No scantily clad women, no rump shaking. Very nice.
Not bad. But I ain't sure how I feel about the video...
Lovebabz: I'm digging the "retro" vibe, too. Another artist, Ryan Leslie, used a Sammy Davis, Jr-inspired style to push the video for his song "Diamond Girl" (don't have a link, but I know it's on Youtube), and the flavor worked. Don't get me wrong--I like a pretty face in a video--but I respect artists who deliver the music on its own strength will little else to distract me.
S6-8: Call me weird, but I like videos that seem to come off as left-field ideas. Honestly, I miss the days of old when my imagination painted the pictures and shot the movie for every song I heard on the radio. MTV-styled video took that away from me in a sense, and the nuttier videos that I see these days (especially Rick Cordero's stuff with the Roots, Wale, Nas, et al.) feels closer to the slightly retarded way I tend to see song lyrics in my mind's eye. Blame it on my pops for taking me to the first Star Wars movie when I was a knee-high brat and for playing so much P-funk around me...
Only Brothers can make tight high-waters look FLY azz HAYL!! LOL! I've always loved synchronized dancing.
I wasnt a fan of the track but I am loving this video... so funky and creative!
Cap: LOL about the "high-wataz!" I'll PASS on that fashion choice...
Eb: I like left-field sounds, and
SA-RA tends to create beats that listeners either love or hate--but rarely LIKE. I'm glad you could dig the video portion, though.
