Baggy Trousers
2000 Music video
- Hip Hop
From the EP The Baggy Trousers Project (2000)
This unlikely ode to loose pants from Christchurch hip hop duo Dark Tower reached number 29 in the charts in 2000. “I like my pants baggy, baggy, baggy, baggy, baggy / cuffs a draggin' with the crotch a saggin’.” The South Island-accented funk rap showcased another side of Aotearoa's predominately urban hip hop scene, and won a cult following. The video, directed by David Stubbs (Reservoir Hill) riffs off the found footage concept of (then) hit horror film Blair Witch Project; it was nominated for Best Video at 2000 NZ Music Video Awards.
