why does Zues always looks awkward doing this videos?

also i feel this this video doesn't fit, and more pindu video would be sick....where someone come from india and is all fobbed out and then starts to fit in

how do teams get to be in these videos? thats cool.

I wonder why they didn't post it...

The video otherwise sucks though...he looks mad awkward and ghetto.

Yea I agree about the way the video is...that sure isn't what I think of when Assi Haan Punjabi is on...

Bhangra Empire usually is pretty low key...  NYU could learn a little something from them...

Thank you, you've done a great service to the hundreds of people that have to listen to that garbage at every eastcoast competition...  Out of curiosity, how much do you guys pay for all that chanting? Or do those people really like making fools of themselves?

Intro & Empire's clips looked nice but yeah, overall poor quality video. Just Zeus hitting 345 different poses and tryin to look like the man. The song is about Punjab, he could've made such a great video for this song.

Thank you guys for the props. As far as the video goes, we were very excited to do it (who wouldn't be...it is talking about our culture and how proud we are eh) and would've posted it ourselves if the concept was as we thought it would be. We personally didn't like the overall concept of the video and disagreed with a lot of the things in it. Still hope you guys enjoy the video and once again Thanks for the support. =]

besides Empire's clips (and the clips of the pretty Empire girl with a beautiful smile dancing!), the video is a joke. when it started, i thought it would take him from being a gangsta cash waving bund bottalaan dude to making a trip back to punjab and showing him getting back in touch with his roots and family.

anyway...Greetings to all from Hong Kong...Assi haan punjabiii....

who puts these videos together and thinks they've struck gold? it's like "oh man this is revolutionary, we're gonna have you
- throwing $20 bills in the air (ima go to the atm now)
- hold a bottle in a club (6 times)
- scheme and plot in a hoodie on your bed
- repeat from the sofa
- did i mention we'll make it rain?

honestly like waleed said, this video could have been much more fitting and pindu and even pammi bai shoulda made a cameo haha.   no offense to bhangra empire they did their thing fine, it's the rest that was garbage.

100% Agreed. It was like Zeus was doing everything Punjab is not about, but reminiscing on how his life could have been better if he was Punjabi...

The problem is it does strike gold with the little high schoolers running around thinking they're Tupac.  It's a huge problem here in Vancouver, and I'm sure places like Cali and stuff have the same thing.

you i wouldn't be surprised if people in England view Punjabi's like that either... I feel as generations have been passed down in London people have lost a lot of the hardcore values and mixed it with modern culture.
