California-based emcee Murs knows what's up -- it's time ya'll recognize the fury that was Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!! for the NES.
An homage to the classic 8-bit title, this video for the Murs track "Murray's Revenge" (taken from the 2006 album of the same name) was clearly created by people who truly have a love for that particular era in gaming. With direct nods to the game itself spilled all over the screen, it's likely only a matter of time before Nintendo's legal hounds break out of their cages.
And hey -- if Taito can ressurect Legend of Kage, isn't it about time we get another Punch-Out!! title, Nintendo?
[Thanks to Jason B. and Nelson L. at GameVideos for the heads up on this one]

mandlebaum, weren't feeling the beat? I loved it! Murs is solid for sure. His album with Slug from Atmosphere(found under the moniker Felt) is amazing also.
I second the Felt comment. Murs & 9th Wonder are the hotness. This video is tighter than an old white man's khakis. Thank God good hip-hop is still out there.
Fantastic. Just... fantastic. Is this a new video? I'm a fan of Murs and love this track in particular for the great use of the Bob James sample. But this is the first I've seen of the vid. Anyoen know who directed it?

but man, the composition of the song itself was weird... 2 verses and no choruses? seemed like it should have been longer.

And man can rhyme, but I wasn't feeling the beat.
Also, Wigga Stole My Bike! That scene was epic win.
Nice video I'll have to check him out...
I am ashamed to be a part of the downfall of what was once a decent music cable channel.
I think I spotted O.J., Jesus, and Donald Trump in the crowd. Dunno who the last cutout on the right is...
