This group Rob mentioned was one of the standout groups that he grew up listening to and that the cover photo for the album "Straight Outta Compton" had really stuck with him over the years, I listened to the track whilst looking at the front cover and thought that this would be a scene that we could easily replicate through me lying down on the ground and using my Sigma 10-20mm wide angle lens; which would look very cool; the posse could even perform a beat down which could really add to the homage/parody of the music video to old skool Hip Hop. What I find visually strong within this still is the power that the group seem to express upon its audience and even looking back at 'Fly By' video; this seems to be something that Hip Hop makes overly prominent, expressing raw power throughout their videos and building up their characters as tough guys. Given the appearance of Run CMD this portrayal of strong aggressive power over the audience should work really well as being funny whilst still staying true to the roots of Hip Hop without mocking it or making fun of the genre as that's certainly not the intent.
