Fresh from their brand new sorta-LP Jupiter, Starfucker has released the video for their lead single, “Medicine.”
From the press release:
“The concept behind Starfucker’s new video ‘Medicine’ was to extract and canonize the best and most recurrent elements from a typical hip hop video scenario; flashy dancers, big cars, intense focus on the artist, and a loose story line revolving around money and some sort of conflict,” says director Andrew Sloan. “We took these motifs and stylized them in a way that was more relevant to the song whilst still keeping the feel of the video big, and flashy. The video should feel familiar, but with a certain layer of grit screwing up the picture.”
While I think the video is a lot of fun, I didn’t really get that vibe at all. Huh, guess I need to watch more Sucker Free.
End Hits: They need to make a video for “Boy Toy.” That song kills.
Oh wow this video is stellar! I can definitely pick up the vibe they were going for. Starfucker never fails to impress.
WAIT A SECOND! Hipsters don’t dance! They just kinda stare at the band and waggle their heads! What gives?
oh i get it, it’s ironic!
I like the idea of throwing down stacks of money on a game of Go… but from the look of the board, I don’t think they know what they’re doing.
everyone dances @ starfucker shows. hipsters included. trust me.
