Are you kidding me? LOL, that video had Greenscreen in there as well and it looked like it was done in 1996.

Considering how low budget the video was compared to this one, it was by far the superior video. The Lucifer Effect video actually had a concept to it and it made sense. What concept does this video have to offer? It doesn't have one. It's just a random video of Dizzy, SwizZz, and Hop dancing while a sci-fi creature in the background just stands there.

Actually all the "sci-fi" creatures were symbolic of record execs, A&Rs etc. hence "Independent Living" it's a song about how they overcame the "demons" in the industry that held them back.

I realize that and I recognize what they were trying to do with the video, but it just didn't work IMO.

I almost agree, this video absolutely has a concept.

Edit: Jeet pretty much sums it up

It does have a concept, but I just feel that they didn't pull it off well.

You can say you don't like how it was done, but it definitely works and makes sense.

I agree, but that doesn't mean it didn't have a concept, regardless of whether it worked or not..

Iunno, maybe i like greenscreen videos, theres a few more that do this style where the camera just moves without cuts and i'm feeling how they are abstract, etc.

I like the concept and I think it would have been a very good video if they did it right. If Hop would have directed/edited this (I know that's too much to ask for) then this video would have been really good. Hop can think of a concept in his head and make the video pull that particular concept off as best as possible. Whoever made and shot this video could have done a better job. I'm not saying the video is terrible, but it's not something I would show someone if I was introducing them to FV.

Lucifer Effect > Indie Living.

Look at Kanye West's Mercy. What did you think of that?

I personally feel like Independent Living video is a counter to Kanye West's Mercy and the Video is 10x better than Mercy

It was alright, and I agree that Independent Living was better.

I immediately thought of Mercy when I saw this video. Like Buddie said, I see what they were trying to do and I liked the concept but it could have been executed better. Overall I still think it is a decent video and by far their best looking scenes in front of a green screen, but I feel it could have been better.

I hate the song. I only like some of Dizzy's part. I think this is Hopsin's worst verse beside the Barbecue one.

Mon 1 Oct 2012 - 4:56

Song is meh, video was better but still meh.

I thought Hopsins verse was the best one! Dizzy's wasn't good to me compared to Hops and SwizZz

How is this his worst verse?? His flow & delivery were on point, & his intonation patterns were sick. Lyrics were good too. I do think the barbeque verse he spit was one of his weakest verses, however.

As for the video, it was nothing special. They could have made it a lot better.

Well, I think the lyrics are mediocre compared to other serious songs. I guess I don't like Hopsin on this beat.

Tue 2 Oct 2012 - 1:13

SwizZz had the best verse, Hops verse was wack.

Kind of reminds me of a few other videos where there are no cuts like this one

SwizZz had the best verse...hands down

Wed 3 Oct 2012 - 13:10

This is my favourite FV song,

Its not like we don't need another song with them talking about how the industry screwed them over and how Funk Volume is so great Hopsin
