(From Majician album; 2024)
It's funny how a great video can transform a song into your favourite jam on the whole album. Absolute perfect marriage of music and music image resulting in a prequel to the ? video and the greatest DOOM tribute ever. Shit twists my tearducts like a muppet; keepin' it honest, I can't listen to it in public. Also, a rare modern Kurious video where he's not wearing jhorts. That man definitely owns more cut-off denim than an ECW wrestler.
If I ruled the world, Kurious would have included I Don't Even Exist and Don't Know on his Majician album rather than his Mystery Mixtape. One of my biggest pet peeves with Rap is rappers not including great songs on their proceeding album. It's an annoying practice which dates back to the mid 1980s when Dr. Jeckyll & Mr. Hyde didn't include Gettin' Money, Fast Life and A.M./P.M. on their album. Run-D.M.C also got in on the act when they neglected to include Together Forever on Raising Hell or Here We Go (Live at The Funhouse) on King Of Rock. The Beastie Boys also threw their baseball caps in the ring when they decided She's On It wasn't going to appear on Licensed To Ill. The Beasties now hate that song and refer to it as "Cheese Omelette", but they're terrible judges of their own catalogue so who cares what they think?
** EDIT** Ice-T was another early offender when he left Killers and Dog 'N The Wax (Ya Don't Quit Part II) offa his Rhyme Pays album.

Both the song and the flat cap deerstalker 👍
I know Kurious has been wearing those hats since the 90s, but my first thought when I watched this video was Colin Robinson.
I love that Cow's Eye video so much.
"Bad karma got us lookin" like Little Shop Of Horrors..."
Recently read some conflicting info about the year Killers dropped, either 84 or 85. I always assumed it was the latter. Do you happen to know?
Discogs says 1984.
