Stoe here. This was the second TM video I had the privilege of doing, a whopping 6 years after the first one. It involved four or five shooting expeditions. Our boy Garrett held down camera work for a good amount of this video. It was a blast to shoot and cut up. We gaff taped my camera to the hood of Jay’s luxurious ‘93 Infiniti J30 and took a drive around Temple and Beverly. We dunked Comel in a North Hollywood pool. We shot the beach stuff at Point Dume. An LA-ass shoot for an LA-ass video. ah, yes.

Ha, almost forgot this existed. One of Time Machine’s lesser-seen videos, “Caught On Tape” is a song from TM RADIO and the “Grime Machine” EP. The song is definitely one of TM’s more aggressive tracks.

The video was shot by a guy named Carey Williams who just approached the group on some, “hey we’re in LA, you make music, I make videos, let’s work” type shit, and this was the result. The paparazzi guy with his back to the camera is DJ Real, of the production duo Martian Gang, who made the beats for two songs from SLOW YOUR ROLL; “Time’s Fly” and “Thinkin’ Bout You”.

Time Machine’s second actual music video (after “A Million And One Things To Do” which will be posted soon) was “Night Lights”, directed by Michelle Oz. This song was produced by Jaysonic, and was the only beat he ever made that saw the light of day as an official Time Machine song. The original name he gave the beat when he saved it to disc was “Sound Horn”. The name “Night Lights” came about after no obvious title came from Jahpan’s party-rockin’ chorus, or either of the verses.

There’s plenty of funny back story to this video, but umm, maybe some things are better left unsaid. One good anecdote is that the video was shot in the now famous “TM Mansion” in the Silver Lake neighborhood of LA, just a few months after the boys moved in. On the day of the video shoot, a plumbing pipe on the property burst, leaving a house full of crew, video models and extras without a bathroom to use. As a result, a production assistant was shuttling people who needed to use the bathroom back and forth between the house and the McDonalds at the corner of Melrose Ave and Vermont Ave.

A rarely seen look at the making of Time Machine’s beloved debut album Slow Your Roll, featuring appearances by Edan (pre Dylan phase), Edo G and Special K.
