note: pause at 3:19 classic moment

I'm sure Tinie Tempah had loads of fun, shooting his video for frisky, its 'artistically correct', the shots are wicked and show a dark, mysterious nocturnal view to the thoughts and actions that are so 'frisky' during the night time, and that is what the video is a representation of; Labrinth shows he has a knack for great chorus's and showcases his vocal range (almost) and the beat in a sense has that dark spooky mysterious sound (coupled with his delivery, for the mood of the video)
to it, when one can be their most mischievous...The drums as usual are out of this world the beat is okay (it almost seems like a more 'subtle' version of 'pass out')
..The hooks are perfect 'hook line and sinker' every aspect of that, just the first verse/first two seconds (0:44 to 0:46) show points of 'atrocity' and I don't know where Tinie Tempah is going with that similar to Lil Wayne/Nickie Minaj,(Shout) voice aspect, so I don't think its delivered in the best way possible/most authentic, but overall I like it...Image wise Tinie Tempah has come on point though I don't know what that 'shawl' thing his wearing at 0:55 is doing (fashionistas get at me!) I'm normally one for seeing 'white' artists/painters/mods wearing these type of (weirdish) clothes on them, though I have nothing against Tinie Tempah trying a new fashion I just think it looks ridiculous, apart from that, fashion is on point completely for the rest of the show, the visuals aren't brilliant but their nice, clear and simple with good camera views and lighting to catch the mood, they definitely show something that is more, artistically correct, they chose a great artistic backdrop in an area with an 'oldish' feel to it, to give the feeling of a theme where his chasing the woman through all these dark creepy places, and 'they' (the women) are creeping through it, I guess in this story Tinie Tempah is meant to be the perpetrator or is it the women...1:16 that is the most interesting piece of jewellery I have seen on a man, a duck feather of some sort, dangling from Labrinth's ear (hats off to that!). I love the fact, the videos direction was based more on artistic direction and creativity then 'commercialism' but then thats what happens with smaller budgets nowadays (remember Tinchy Stryder's video was one giant block in a room!) There is something dark an mysterious about the video an beat, I like it, I wish I could say the same for the first verse/ 8 - 16 bars..This is a pop song so you don't expect anything from this lyrically...Just that, it gets stupid up to the point where he says 'chocolate biscuit' from that point on its smooth sailing..and a much better tone, I do like the way Tinie Tempah has emphasised his 'Britishness' in that manner and in his raps in general.. 'Scunthorpe, Chocolate Biscuits, 'etc.. it might be a formula that works, the Scunthorpe one definitely did!

So overall I give
this video an 8.0 out of 10

for visual direction and creativity

8 for originality

7 for Tinie Tempahs flow
I don't know where he's going with that
nicki minaj/Lil Wayne shout voice but overall
I like it)

7 for delivery
He delivers the song well, but you wonder if
with that voice he uses is he totally serious and
at times its a hazard to the ears! The overall talent
makes up for it and you end up enjoying it (kind of)


8 for Lyrical content
I know I may get a lot of stick for this, but its entertaining
and is done in a catchy and cool way, though 'chocolate biscuit'
isn't really a 'lyric', you do get where the song is going and
are entertained throughout..
(the 'Trisha metaphor' was a no go but, he keeps you entertained
overall)


So I think its fair to say an 8/10 is a fair overall rating for this vid..
