Music Videos
Music videos were shot for "Da Countdown (The Saga Continues)", which was going to be the 1st single back in 2004, but eventually made its way onto the "Ill At Will Vol. 1 mixtape" since the album kept being pushed back. There's also a music video for "Fuck Da Security", but was retitled "Rush Da Security" and can be found on the UK release as a bonus track (uncensored, and not the video). Smack DVD shot a music video for "Gillahouse Check", which has been praised by many fans as it contains raw uncensored footage. Official videos have been shot for "Put It Down" featuring a guest appearance by Don Vito (Viva La Bam), and "Get 'Em" featuring Gilla House artists Saukrates and Icadon. Lesser known videos have also been shot for "Gimmie One" which was produced by Pete Rock, and "Freestyle Freestyle" which was shot in Rockland County. Videos can be found on YouTube. Originally, "Freestyle Freestyle" was supposed to be the 1st single, as were "Da Countdown" and "Rush Da Security". Another music video was planned for "Future Thugs" featuring Ghostface Killah, Ludacris and Gilla House artist Icadon (on the hook) directed by famous photographer Jonathan "Xtra Gangsta" Mannion. Later on, another director was mentioned as replacement for Mannion, but it's unknown if the shoot took place. It was supposed to be the 1st single before they were thinking of "Freestyle Freestyle". Eventually "Put It Down" was picked, and "Future Thugs" was left off due to its release two years earlier on vinyl.

Famous quotes containing the words music and/or videos:
“The music is in minors.”
—Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
“Ambivalence reaches the level of schizophrenia in our treatment of violence among the young. Parents do not encourage violence, but neither do they take up arms against the industries which encourage it. Parents hide their eyes from the books and comics, slasher films, videos and lyrics which form the texture of an adolescent culture. While all successful societies have inhibited instinct, ours encourages it. Or at least we profess ourselves powerless to interfere with it.”
—C. John Sommerville (20th century)
