This Flash clip by a band that calls themselves
DJ Funken Wagnalls feat. Cottonmouth, MC, AKA the Robot Underground is an awsome piece of work which combines hip-hop, animation, and video games into a totally kick-ass music video. The clip for a song called
Futurology is suppose to be "a history of sci-fi literature in hip-hop radio drama form." It starts off as a normal music video but then turns into a Asteroid-type game and the ending you get depends on how well you do. Look out for visual references to classic video games like
Spy Hunter and sci-fi films like Kubrick's
2001: A Space Odyssey. Also, listen to the lyrical references spanning from Shelley's
Frankenstein to Huxley's
Brave New World. It's mind-blowing!
