Da Back Wudz featuring Caz Clay - I Don't Like the Look of It (2006)
*1/2 (of four)
"What do you get when you can't write a song? / Steal someone's work and you call it your own." Practically ensuring Chocolate Factory author Roald Dahl is spinning like a top in his grave, hip-hop act Da Back Wudz (never heard of 'em? me either...) builds an entire track around one line from the "Oompa Loompa" theme song. Just one more entry in the "Whistle While You Twurk" subgenre of dirty South rap songs built around kids' movie staples. Just wait till Lil' Jon gets ahold of "Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo."
In the Fat Cats-directed video, a shorty brandishing a golden ticket is allowed entry into the Rowdy Candies factory, which more closely resembles a chop shop. Children wearing magenta Oompa Loompa wigs roll big-rimmed tires around and polish the chrome while the Back Wudz rappers do their thing (one of them's wearing Johnny Depp's white Wonka aviator glasses), and a handful of bored-looking hotties just barely dance. One of them paints a red car blue. It's outlandish shit, yeah, but it's not near as fun as it rightfully should be. I don't really like the look of it.
