3. The Pharcyde - drop

This is one of the many music videos that has been directed by
Spike Jonze, it was a super hit in 1996, this was partly due to the
special effects used. In the video the artists are filmed lip syncing
backwards, the video is then played back in reverse which gives
an effect in which the artists are singing with the music but
everything else is in reverse. I think that this is Spike Jonzes
signature on his music videos, spike has kept the artists
conventional hip hop image however just stamped his own mark
on the video to make it different by using this reverse technique.
