Spike Jonze And The Pharcyde on the Making of 1995's "Drop"

This is very cool! A short documentary clip (put up on Youtube by someone named Unahmean) about the making of “Drop,” the famous 1995 video Spike Jonze directed for the Los Angeles rap group The Pharcyde. He filmed the guys walking and rapping backwards — they hired a linguist to help them memorize all the Satanic-sounding gibberish — and then reversed the tape for the final product.

Here’s the “Drop” video.

Here it is reversed, so, the way they actually filmed it.

And here’s a video that came out last year, from the Canadian rapper Shad, that repeated the technique. Good song, too. Called “Rose Garden.”
