It’s supposed to be out today? Can anyone find it?
EVOLUTION VIII MR knows all about Sir Mix-A-Lot from our Blown Euros trip this year, lol.
Pics from the making of the vid:
As many of you know, Anthony Ray (Sir Mix-a-Lot) is a serious car guy. He is especially fond of Lamborghinis. In fact he’s been a Lamborghini owner longer than most on the forums.
Anthony got tired of the rent-a-car rappers constantly shooting videos with cars they don’t own, then finding himself bunched in with that group who know nothing about cars. He’s a real enthusiast, very knowledgable, an active member of the car community and a truly fun guy to hang around with. He’s a serious driver too!
So, this summer Anthony decided to write a song about the car guys who actually drive their cars, then shot with the very guys he hangs around with. We had 26 cars show up for one day of shooting alone, all in support of Anthony. In total I’m guessing there were over 50 cars involved, with so much footage shot that he will have content to post for months!
The song and video will be released this coming Saturday night right after the the big party we’re having in the Seattle area to sort of wrap up our car season. Teamspeed will be on hand for the event. The song will be available on iTunes and the video will be posted everywhere that same night.
I now have permission from Anthony to start posting some of the photos from the making of the video and I’ll give you some of the back story along the way.
The photos were shot by Jason Tang, Kim Lind, Vic Tiscareno, James Boyer and me. I’m sure they will add even more photos in the coming days.
The video shoot required all types of shots. This was a formation shot on a closed runway. We’re following Anthony as a helicopter and film crew in a truck lead the group. Here we’re getting ready for a long shot.
The SSC Ultimate Aero is in the lyrics and it made some incredibly impressive runs. There were a few prior critics who were there who were new to the car and were blown away when it managed 198 on the runway that day. I could only get up to 178 in the same length.
And of course when they were at the music shot. They were having fun!
