QB's Finest feat. Bravehearts - "Oochie Wally"
Posted on May 19, 2005 2:25 PM
This week's edition of "Throwback Thursday" is brought to you by:
Bravehearts' Suppository Laxatives:
"We shit on ourselves... So you don't have to!"
I didn't even have a TV when this video came out, so I was spared the horror for years. Now I wish I didn't have Blastro last night. I'm still traumatized as I write this, so please pardon any typos. "Oochie Wally" [watch it now], the leadoff single to the QB's Finest album (2000), finds the Bravehearts living out their hypersexual fantasies in a summer home literally converted into a harem.
How the fuck did we get here?
A little over five years ago, Columbia Records gave Nas a bunch of money to create and spearhead a project that united himself, Mobb Deep, and a collection of rappers from Queensbridge Prjoects that were supposed capture the special feeling QB gave us in 1994.
Okay, let me stop the bullshit. Columbia Records trusted Nas and his Ill Will imprint with their money in an attempt to re-create the rapidly fading success of what was once their most commercially viable rap option. Regardless, the project seemed like a good idea. The idea of Nas, AZ and Mobb Deep captaining an album that would combine legends such as MC Shan, Roxanne Shante, Kool G. Rap and Rakim with up-and-comers like Nature, Jungle, and Wiz was exciting when we were first told about it in 1999.
Somehow... the first thing we hear from the project is just Nas and his entourage talking about getting blowjobs.
The video is more humor than anything else. They did a good job of casting especially skanky video hoes. If the Pussy Cat Dolls are the Fanta Girls, then these birds are the Kool-Aid Hookers. We abruptly go from a rather average poolside shot, to Nas' Arabian fantasy! The bedroom Nas kicks his game in resembles the inside of a genie bottle... Yep, definitely a genie trapped in Alize! I think I saw Truth Hurts in there somewhere.
So, instead of William Wallace, the leader of the Bravehearts elects to take on the role of "Ghetto-ass Aladdin." Good work, my nigga! Also... Can anyone tell me why Prince Ali Baba has no shirt on?
Doensn't Jungle look more like Mr. Cheeks' brother than Nas' brother? I swear to god at nights this man throws on a basketball jersey and moonlights as Cavaliers' point guard Jeff McInnis. I was very curious to hear how they cleaned up his filthy lines. I have to give credit, they went back into that booth and did some clever ass editing. I hope they were also clever enough not to go raw dog on any of these video skeezers.
Now... Question of the day:
What would you get if Biggie worked out a little bit? Maybe took some Hydroxycut?
You'd have Horse!
In retrospect, Horse should have been a part of this group. He not only had the best verse and exhibited the most on-camera charisma, but he's the only person I've ever heard of that would put on some Kelly Price to smash to. I dunno, that girl gives me the creepies. When she lost all that weight, she began to look like there was possibly a dude under those extra layers of flesh.
Assessment: This is video is the farthest thing from sexy I've ever seen in my life. I am so appalled, I don't even want to know what an "Oochie" or a "Wallly" is. You can come to your own conclusion right here if you want.
Interestingly enough, who would have thought, a few years later Kelis would scrub this man down, fix up his teeth and wife him. Her milkshake must be as good as advertised. I don't know about boys to the yard, but it damn sure brought Nas to his knees.
Oh, I'm just playin'. Congratulations!... On getting married, that is, not this video, nigga! The shit's terrible.
Friends! This weekend, I'll be opening up my mailbox to suggestions for videos to review. That's right, Mexico is taking requests! I'm primarily looking for throwback suggestions, but I'll listen to any idea. Give me a video, a reason, and a link, and your suggestion could be right here on SOHH with a special shout out to ya!
Hit me up at ronnie_mexxx@yahoo.com
REPRESENT YO' CLIQUE!!!
See you tomorrow,
P.S.: Nas, your bodyguard's Oochie Wally verse IS better than yours.

Illfill or whatever your name is...
Shut your pie whole.
I knew before Mexico's post hit the light of day that the Nas stans would come out of the closet. You Nas groupies are a sick breed and should be taken to a torture chamber for reconditioning. Your boy is not god... he is not the nicest emcee... he is not credible. What he IS is a hypocrite who's living on a pipe dream created by you idol worshipping stans.
All Ima say is Nas need to tell his niggaz dat dey bout to shoot a video earlier, Cuz all dem niggaz needed a shape- up in dat shit! Dey prolly jus got outta jail, cuz dey hair fucked and dey feel like singin bout puss.
I think Nas was Ill Willed into thinking that this side project of his could blow. I can't front, the beat is hot annnnd Horse does himself justice with his lines. But all of that other shit is ridiculous. They might as well have shot this shit on a pj rooftop with dirty ass curtains and a plastic kiddie wading pool. It would have been more cost effective and maybe forgivable at least understandable. Shiiiit....Nas could've saved that cheese to promote Quan. As this video goes to the briny deep of the Hudson, can we please get a moment of silence..........
dont usually curse to get point across....but FUCK YOU bigsquid. who said he was God anyway. God's son just like everyone else. listen to everything currently out there now, INCLUDING your precious jay-z. with all this down south crap thats out there all about money cash hoes that these people dont even have yet. listen to them and then put street's disciple in. ask your self whose real and the nicest. you call us stans. look at jay-z fans. we just know the truth. nas is better than jay-z lyricly and all other mcs. the only time he crossed us over was with the one with genuiwe owe me or some shit. but he apolgized and went on and contined to make real rap music. linkin park jay-z? if i were a jay-z fan or linkin park fan i would have cried for days. jay-z was cool was fine by himself so was park. right after the black album too. man right in the balls i know yall were feeling it
Do people like me exist...?
Jay-Z AND Nas fans?
yeah ron im not saying im only a nas fan. jay-z is no doubt a great entertainer and also rapper. but when people cant admit that nas is better than jay-z lyricly it hurts me. jay has not been the streets pushing nothing for years. yet that is still all he raps about. in fade to black he admits he wants to rap more about relevant issues in life but doesnt cause of money. nas knows he can make more money rapping bout that. instead he chooses to go the other route talking about the issues in the hood and wishes it could change. jay has the same dream just too money hungry. so when he says best rapper alive i disagree. Nas is the best rapper alive. jay is 2nd. even if nas hooks might suck and production not the best. as soon as he starts flowing none of that is relevant. u thinkk if jay diddnt have pharrel and jus blaze on every track u still be feeling him the same? i dont. Nas is simply a better rapper
jay-z raps about relevant issues sometimes... nas strays at times...
what it comes down to is that you need to respect people's opinions if they think jay-z is a better rapper than nas... and vice versa.
you shouldn't be "hurt" that people don't agree with you. it's not like nas hasn't made his own mistakes that could cause his fans to stray... for example...
i've been a nas fan since 1992... but he's nowhere near the rapper he was then, especially now in his scramble to salvage his career by taking on an image of walking a road less traveled.
jay-z is honest about his shortcomings... he knows he's a poser... he'll gladly tell you this... sadly it's what the people want and what pays. it's wrong, but he admits it.. and still provides dope lyricism within the context of his charade.
you owe me was not nas' only mistake. nas escobar went jay-z before jay-z did. in 1996 nas was trying to be as flashy as possible while jay-z was trying to get on with the best lyrics he could muster. the tables were turned.
buy yeah... it's all about respecting opinions. i respect anyone who feels nas is the best rapper out, even if i don't agree.
i even respect people who think spectacular is the best rapper. i painfully disagree... but everyone's entitle to an opinion. i'll say what i say... but i'm no one to tell someone that what they think and feel are "wrong."
Spectacular?!!! Man you ca-razy, not crazy, but ca-razy. Slick '
Em is da shiznit! You walking that fine line of having an antlike army full of teens and tweens fuck you up over Ugly Luther(oops!)PR.
