Blame It On Something

Bunz. Bubble Boy. Richie Cunningham. Ghost Dog. Had this been a 5-seater, I would have drafted Data from the Goonies to fill a quota, but he hasn’t invented a workable pair of slick shoes yet, to date.

Enlisting a whole set of A-listers for his, Blame It video (some D-minus listers, we’ll just call friends – you’ll see them) Jamie wanted to bring back that Biggie Smallz-esque video feel – big party, multiple cameos, red lights, sunglasses in the club, etc. Courting Hype Williams for directing purposes, solidified the attempt. I have no real gripes about this video or its choice in cameos. It actually gives me a boner, just like what alcohol was meant to do. Kudos to you for a boner well done, Eric Marlon Bishop, kudos!

Cameos: Forest Whitaker, Jake Gyllenhaal, Jamie Foxx, Ron Howard, Quincy Jones, Jermaine Dupri, T-Pain, Tatyana Ali, Morris Chestnut, Ice Cube's little thug friend from Player's Club, Bill Bellamy, Pinky from Next Friday & House Party (if you look closely), the world's largest bladder, Cedric the Entertainer's Teeth, Jalen Rose, the Uncle from The Jamie Foxx Show, and, last but not least, Samuel L. Jackson.
