Music Video of the Day: Insane In The Brain by Cyrpess Hill (1994, directed by Josh Taft)


This 90s anthem was filmed at the DNA Lounge in San Francisco.  Though it might be hard to believe today, a music video that featured people openly celebrating smoking weed was something that still took a lot of people by surprise in 1994.

Director Josh Taft worked with just about everyone in the 90s.  Taft has directed videos for Alice In Chains, Stone Temple Pilots, Nas, A Tribe Called Quest, Mother Love Bone, Pearl Jam, Mad Season, and Fuel.  Taft has also worked as a commercial director, doing ads for Adidas, Reebok, Nike, Energizer, Sprite and Nissan Xterra.  In 2013, he directed a documentary called Alive & Well, which profiled 7 individuals living with Huntington’s Disease.

Enjoy!
