Continuing the movie songs, a great example of why I liked them, and miss them.
Remember the times when an upcoming blockbuster had an official tie-in music video? That was shown on TV? On MTV, that still had actual music videos. I mean, we basically had 1 music channel, but it had a lot of great video clips, nowadays you can get 30 music channels somewhere on buttons 601-630, but there's nothing on them! Gotta seek out music videos on YouTube yourself, and it's only independent and small groups doing cheap, homemade stuff. There are no more big budget music videos like this.
Puff Daddy, when he was still called that, is just chillin' in his crib, and suddenly a freaking city bus plows through his 10th floor window, because why not!
And then he flies in an elevator, with WTC Twin Towers in the background.
It is using preexisting compositions, but it's not a 'sample', like nowadays, Jimmy Page actually recorded his guitar solo, and there was a real 100+ piece orchestra. 90's were cool, and fuel was $0.99 a gallon.
