Call The Law video filmed 10 years ago today

OK, so it's not as big as the birthday of Lovesexy or Gett Off, but it's all that's in DOW for May 11th

I still haven't seen this video. Any thoughts on the video or the song?

Damn, from the moment i dropped outta my bed this morning i was wondering what this magic, almost orgasmic feeling was that beclouded this whole day...man, thanks alot for clearing this up for me..of course, it's the tenth anniversary of the Call the Law Videoclip..considered to be one of the finest pieces of work ever produced among experts! Personally, it's my favorite Videoclip ever produced..by anyone! It's just full of magic moments...Tony M's performance alone ranks this video high above everything else that was produced at that time, and there were alot of great Videoclips that year!! Anyway, words cannot express how I feel about that certain piece of footage, it shows Prince's genius at the fullest, so all Y'all haters who'll come on this thread to start dissing about it, just pop in the Diamonds and Pearls Video again..close the windows, light a candle..and try to get it, it's far more than it seems at first sight!

PSYCHE! smile

I remember the first time hearing this song and thinking, "What kind of crap is this"?

For years, Prince had always given us great B-sides, thus the reason so many of us bought the singles. But this was truly the worst B-side ever.
If it breaks when it bends, you better not put it in.

Thank you for marking the start of his decline. That is when Prince jumped the shark.

My favourite bit of the song and video is just after it's finished.

call the law video started out looking like NWA's express yourself... marching down the street lookin mean but instead of NWA hats they had NPG hats, then I think they were having a house party and it got too rowdy and the cops came but Tony had his people take care of it... it's just boring and the worst part of the song that ruined it was the jump jump jump with the guitar which totally did not fit the song at all. Go buy diamonds and pearls video collection and you can see CALL THE LAW in all its glory!
