Gimme Some More
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gimme Some More is the first single from 1998's Extinction Level Event (or E.L.E.) by Busta Rhymes. Similar to his single Put Your Hands Where My Eyes Can See this song has a (very) speedy delivery and clever (but violent and a bit more offensive) rhymes. The track was produced by regular Busta collaborator DJ Scratch.
[edit] Video
This video was directed by Hype Williams, along with Busta Rhymes himself (credited as Busta Remo). The video opens up with a Looney Toons-like setting. Busta Rhymes is narrating in the background and talking about when he was a "shorty" and how he bumped his head. A little boy playing Busta as a child acts this out. A lady comes to the aid of Busta, asking him as Busta narrates, "Did you bump your head?" Busta says, "Yeah..." The lady then asks, "So that means you gon' switch it on 'em?" with Busta replying, "Yeah...Flip Mode...Flip Mode is the greatest!" After that, Lil' Busta turns into a little blue monster and chases the woman who came to his aid around the house. This video also features Busta Rhymes and other members of the Flip Mode Squad in outrageous costumes and situations. Busta is seen as:
- a boxer
- a stock broker
- a police officer
- a miner
- a gun-toting texan
- a body builder
- a pimp
- a person tied up about to get run over by a train
"Gimme Some More" contains a sample from the opening theme to Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho, performed by Bernard Herrmann
