Eat dat watermelon!
I dunno about this Lucky - I considered posting this as well.
This vid was produced by Nas, in response to how hip-hop went from empowerment to ridiculously stereotypical silliness. He recruited Nick Cannon and (I believe) Affion Crockett to don blackface and perform as Shuck & Jive.
This particular embed doesn't have the explanatory message (voiced by Nas) that the original vid did (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PgRAgJI7aoc), and out of context this vid would seem to be totally racist. It is, however, a commentary about the degree to which *hiphop has lowered itself, and the extent to which 'artists' are whoring themselves out to corporate 'slave masters' in the name of money & fame.
