ANALYIS OF FOREIGN BEGGARS & NOISIA 'CONTACT'

This is a song by a rap duet called Foreign Beggars, this was a collaboration track with Noisia. the songs title i called contact, it is a fast song with loud and repetitive beats. this is a very steryo typical video for a rap song it starts with a man walking down the street in a hoodie with the hood up (very stereotypical of the audience that would listen to this song, youths with loose trousers and hoodies) he is entering the same phrase over again " YER, YER, YER, YER!!" the way he says this and the arm gestures make you instantly recognize him as a rapper. the construction of the video contains three main locations: a set/gig at a venue, out on a street in black and white and a black room with there logo in the back ground. However, half way through the video "2:38" they start adding random clips that doesn't necessarily have anything to do with the song, a man dressed as Vishnu and a man holding a record player.

The music has a close relationship with the visual of this video, for example there is a wobble bass line that is consistent in most of the video. the way they have Incorporated this into the video is by using a wobble affect on the camera as if there is a earthquake "0:31", some of the lyrics also fit the visual for example when Orifice Vulgatron the man to the right of this image says "been around the block still pack shows enit" it cuts to them on a street corner rapping with fellow member of the group Metropolis to the left of this image. after the couplet it then cuts to a slow motion clip of them rapping on stage at a venue "0:43-0:47".

I feel that Foreign Beggars would be a good inspiration for the type of music video I hope to create. This is a quote from wikipedia describing them;
"Foreign Beggars are a critically acclaimed English Hip Hop, Grime and Dubstep group based in London. The group consists of MCs Orifice Vulgatron, Metropolis, producer Dag Nabbit and DJ Nonames and are renowned for their eclectic and energetic live shows. Currently performing well over a hundred shows a year the group has performed with a number of high profile artists spanning a range of musical genres. Foreign Beggars release their records through Dented Records a label which was created and owned by the group to support their own material and a host of UK underground artists."

They also have a website to promote themselves this will be good research when creating my own website for my artist/group. http://www.foreignbeggars.com/
