Watch the Vevo Footnotes of Raekwon’s classic track “Ice Cream.” Watch below!
“Highlighting beautiful women of all colors” was Raekwon’s goal in this 1995 clip by the Wu-Tang maestro and his Shaolin buddies Ghostface, Method Man, and Cappadonna. The crew left Staten Island for Jamaica, Queens to capture the mall action. Director Ralph McDaniels says that controlling the fans was one of the endeavor’s biggest problems. Manager Rashida Watler reminds that the video’s authenticity helped usher in the hip-hop fashion culture. The sound of the RZA-produced track remains powerful; it’s from Raekwon’s indelible ‘Only Built 4 Cuban Linx.’ Watch our exclusive Footnotes interviews to see what other classic vid the entire squad managed to capture in the same weekend as “Ice Cream.”
