Not Many (remix)

Scribe , Music Video – 2004

from the album The Crusader (2003)

Director Chris Graham toys with black and white in this performance-based clip, which accompanies possibly New Zealand's best-known remix. Graham shoots Scribe and company in colour, but apart from skin tones makes every ‘colour’ used either black or white: including the hoodies, caps, milk bottles ... and the dog. Film speed is tweaked to the beat, and the result is monochrome magic. Scribe is joined by a crusading crew of Kiwi hip hop luminaries (Savage, P-Money, David Dallas/Con Psy). 'Not Many' originally topped the charts as half of a double A-side, alongside 'Stand Up'.

The peak of popularity for NZ hip hop, [director] Chris Graham once again came through with the goods and a nod to a classic Craig Mack clip.
– DJ Sir-Vere
