While the Beastie Boys have provided plenty of hilarious videos over the course of their career, it’s impossible to forget the trio’s 1994 video for “Sabatoge.” The toupee-filled homage to ’70s cop shows has frequently been ranked as one of the best music videos of all time, so it comes as no surprise that the clip was directed by the multi-talented Spike Jonze (Adaptation, Where the Wild Things Are, plenty of other awesome music videos).
In some pretty great news, the Beasties are once again teaming up with the director for the video for the track “Don’t Play No Game that I Can’t Win” off their recent LP, Hot Sauce Committee Part Two. On Friday, the hip-hop group announced the partnership via their blog, along with a photo featuring a handful of action figures.
The boys’ post reads, “The video was directed by our esteemed colleague Mr. Spike Jonze. It is an explicit action adventure spectacular. It features action figures of us….and yes, they are ACTION figures, NOT dolls!”
There’s no word yet on when the video is scheduled for release, but in the meantime, watch “Sabotage” below.

I am pretty f*cking bummed out that one of my favorite directors and favorite bands is moving forward with releasing a video that is so clearly stealing from the work of outsider (not to mention disabled and broke!) artist Mark Hogancamp (not just a "homage", but a blatant theft). Hogancamp is a supremely gifted artist who only reluctantly decided to share his very, very personal work with the world ... only to have his thunder stolen and his distrust in the motives of "the outside world" confirmed. It may be true that "this is how things happen" in Hollywood but for f*cks sake couldn't the powers that be scrape up SOME morals when it comes to the life of a person as rare, vulnerable and deeply in need of funds as Hogancamp? Watch the documentary "Marwencol" and realize that his living & financial situation has not changed too significantly since. Very pissed off out to hear that this brave and unique soul, who continues to struggle in trusting others after the tragedy that befell him in 2000, is still getting stolen from. I truly hope Jonez & the Beasties give this man the credit and compensation he deserves for whatever watered-down Marwencol impersonation they eventually release. Would be pretty disappointing if they didn't.
