The music video for Gimme Some More was directed by Hype Williams along with Busta Rhymes himself, credited as Busta Remo. Like much of Bustas earlier music videos, it is shot through fish-eye lens in slow motion and is largely absurdist in nature. Opening up with a Looney Tunes-like intro, the video begins with Busta Rhymes narrating in the background, recalling how he once bumped his head as a child. A little boy portraying Busta as a child acts this out. A woman runs out of house to the aid of Busta, asking him—as Busta narrates—Did you bump your head? Busta says, Yeah... The woman then asks, So that means you gon switch it on em?, with Busta replying, Yeah...Flip Mode...Flip Mode is the greatest! Suddenly, the child turns into a hideous, little blue monster with big yellow eyes and sharp teeth and chases the woman around and throughout the house. The story is intercut with scenes of Busta Rhymes and other members of Flip Mode Squad in outrageous costumes and situations. Busta is seen as a boxer, stock broker, police officer, miner, pistol-toting, Yosemite Sam-like Texan, body builder, pimp and a person tied up about to get run over by a train a la The Perils of Pauline. The video ends on an unresolved cliffhanger, with the woman trapped on top of a refrigerator and the monster climbing closer and closer towards her. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gimme_Some_More
