aiming at different demographics, and succeeding in every way. You got two black guys and a Latin, and that is as urban as it gets," Will.i.am noted. The trio also touched on their success in everything from electronic dance music to pop, and now Latin. But she does it in a very gentle, humble, sweet way, to where you just wanna please all of her concerns. And that takes a very skilled negotiator, a great collaborator. Shakira is on a totally different level!" Will.i.am said. Rey Soul, as well as J Balvin and Maluma.ĮT spoke with Will.i.am, Apl.de.ap and Taboo earlier this year, where they spoke about working with Shakira. The LP also includes songs with Ozuna and J. The lyrics, if you were wondering, translate as: “Mumble mumble, shnerdle, herdle, erm, have we done three verses yet?”Ī cheery A-Z of drug-taking that successfully lampoons the clubbing experience by making it look authentically hideous."Girl Like Me" is featured on BEP's album Translation, which was released earlier this year, and is the first time Shakira and the group work together. Also includes extreme, no-holds barred close-ups of fish. Not remotely explicit, but boundary-probing in a way, in that it features two teenage boys kissing (5.24) – and makes it look epic and romantic, rather than playing it for shock value. What next, a warning at the start of ‘Thriller’ reassuring viewers that it’s not the actual exhumed corpse of Jacko dancing around like that? Supposedly, MTV would only show it with an introduction from Jay-Z himself explaining that it was a metaphorical death, not a real one. Our hero gets gunned down in the final sequence. Where are all the mime artists and blokes cycling past wearing stripy jumpers carrying baguettes.

Supposedly ‘hard-hitting’ and ‘gritty’, but it doesn’t look much like Paris to me.

It’s essentially ‘The Wicker Man’ as re-enacted by readers of Nylon magazine. There’s some sinister stuff involving a dead dog and some spooky-looking children, culminating with a boy cajoling a girl into chopping off his hand. None of it’s as entertaining as David Cross’ cameo as the clueless DJ, though. A feel-good classic.ĭirected by Jonas Åkerlund (of ‘Smack My Bitch Up’ fame), so we shouldn’t be surprised that it features close-up footage of a cock (and I don’t mean singer Til Lindemann).ĭrunken texting, vomiting on the pavement, gay fumbling in a toilet cubicle – it’s basically the average indie fan’s night on the town. In this snuff movie-esque clip, vaguely reminiscent of an episode of ‘Sexcetera’ gone wrong, a masochist is strapped, naked, to a metal torture device which slowly drills into his flesh before ultimately ripping his insides out, draining his blood for use as garden fertilizer.


Like most ‘controversial’ videos, this one combines nudity with extreme violence. This video has it all: a woman in a nappy grappling with a sumo wrestler, an oiled-up fat bloke, and a man in a horse mask waving his bum at the camera. Pretty much like a Vice magazine cover shoot, then. Not massively explicit, it’s true, but at one point there’s a grainy shot of a rail-thin hipster with his balls hanging out.
