You might have missed it in the ongoing torrent of near constant bad news and new content, but Compton rapper Buddy teamed up with his — ahem — buddy Kent Jamz of Crenshaw-based hip-hop quartet Overdoz to release a truly enjoyable joint mixtape, Janktape, Vol. 1, this spring. Forunately, the two friends put out a new video for their song “Bad Boys” today to bring attention to the tape and show off their laid-back chemistry and stoned humor.
The video takes inspiration from other popular weed culture duos, including Beavis & Butthead, Cheech & Chong, and Sean and Marlon Wayans, whose classic 1990s gangsta movie spoof Don’t Be A Menace To South Central While Sippin’ Your Juice In The Hood gets a scene in “Bad Boys” along with its inspiration, Friday. Buddy and Kent also do a serviceable rendition of an iconic scene from Pulp Fiction, a rowdy, post-basketball-championship-winning press conference, and a hilarious ode to the promotional poster of Step Brothers. And if you’re wondering whether they pay homage to the film franchise for which the song is named — come on, you know they recreate a shootout from Bad Boys, complete with a cameo from their partner in rhyme (and humor) Guapdad 4000.
Buddy and Guapdad also popped up together in another video earlier this year: Dreamville’s “Don’t Hit Me Right Now” alongside Bas, Cozz, and Yung Baby Tate. Meanwhile, Buddy recently spoke to ongoing protests with his “Black 2” single.
