Discovering Tunes ~ Nobody Speak
This is a tune that came out in 2016. I first saw the video about a year ago and fell in love with it then. It’s from DJ Shadow and features lyrics by the 2 members of Run the Jewels, El-P & Killer Mike. The song is called Nobody Speak, and the video is absolutely awesome.
I love cool and different music videos. Not just the band or artist performing the song. Give me something funny or thought provoking. That’s what this video does.
DJ Shadow
Directed by Sam Pilling, this awesome video was shot in Kyiv, Ukraine. According to one of the leads Ian Bailey (politician with glasses), it took 19 hours to shoot this bad boy. He has stated on his own website that he went in for a rare audition for a music video in London. He spoke some lines and then got the call that he got the part. 30 hours later they were flying to Kyiv and he had a few days to learn his lines before shooting. Pretty awesome how these things come about.
Killer Mike & El-P of Run the Jewels
The other actor in the video is Igor Tsyshkevych and is Ukrainian. I believe most of the other background actors are Ukrainian as well if I remember correctly.
The video features a mock meeting amongst some politicians. The 2 main leads are representing a politicians from both the US and the UK. On the video, things get off to a tense start and shit really hits the fan soon after launch. All the while as the actors are lip syncing the rap lyrics in hilarious and perfect fashion.
Currently this video has over 27 million views!!! Check it out below and let me know your thoughts. Did you dig the tune? The video? Both? Hate it? Lmk!!!
