The late rappers estate has listed an alternate version of the music video to the 1999 MF Doom track ‘Dead Bent’. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Director Adam Bhala Lough, who directed the original video told Pitchfork that only he and the colorist has seen the alternate version. The video was filmed in New York City in November 2000 and was shot using 16mm
Kodak 7231 Plus-X negative black and white film.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
