This is an excellent parody of gansta rap videos. By parody, I don't necessarily mean Weird Al style, but more of the classic uses of parody, which isn't necessarily comical (though it is), but is essentially critical.

There is a lot to read in this video.

Aphex Twin "Windowlicker" (Over 10 min.) Big download (96.8 mb), but worth it for the context of this discussion. (Try right clicking, and "Save As")

Also available on YouTube, but their service isn't working currently. Be sure to watch the long version.
