Moontanman Posted June 11, 2012 Posted June 11, 2012 In the back ground of this music video is an odd musical instrument, what is the name of it? Could that have ever been cutting edge? great video though...
ecoli Posted June 11, 2012 Posted June 11, 2012 they're using a drum machine/ synthesizer. It doesn't necessarily have to be an actual instrument.
Moontanman Posted June 11, 2012 Author Posted June 11, 2012 guiro? The box with a vinyl record on it?
doG Posted June 11, 2012 Posted June 11, 2012 The box with a vinyl record on it? My guess must not be the one you're asking about then. I know one was used in that song but I guess it's not the answer you're after.
imatfaal Posted June 11, 2012 Posted June 11, 2012 I think its a faked up scratching/mixing deck (with a guitar neck added on) that allows the dj to get into the video (dunno if that is Young MC or poss DMJ). The video is a piss-take/homage (del as applicable) of Robert Palmer Addicted to Love. Both great videos Theres a great view of it here in Funky Cold Medina at 1:12 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0OP5EnaaYjQ Pretty sure it's a faked up pretend instrument and still unsure who it is - DMJ (who did sampling and scratching on both) or Young Mc (who wrote/cowrote both)
