from naughty by nature posted in music by nevereatshreddedwheat
The concept behind Naughty by Nature's video for "O.P.P." was a tour of the cheap New Jersey motels where someone might take their O.P.P. for a hook-up. The weird-ass pyramid from Rahway, NJ's Kings Inn Motel makes a brief appearance over Vinnie's shoulder.

There was a dispute over whether this origami crane with goldfish was actually a Banksy piece until he claimed it on his website. It's located in Lyme Regis right down the road from here on Coombe St. on the side of a building next to the canal.

Banksy's sweatshop laborer on the side of a Poundmark store in North London. This one has been covered by plexiglass with some of that union jack bunting preserved between the plexiglass and the wall.

from do the right thing, public enemy posted in movies by nevereatshreddedwheat
Both Spike Lee's Do the Right Thing and the video for Public Enemy's "Fight the Power" that he directed were both filmed on Stuyvesant Avenue between Lexington and Quincy in Brooklyn's Bed-Stuy neighborhood. Sal's Pizzeria and the Korean grocery were both sets built for the movie.
The "Bed-Stuy Do or Die" mural that was painted for the movie on the corner of Stuyvesant and Lexington Avenues is almost entirely faded and mostly obstructed by a newer building.
"Fight the Power" was written by Public Enemy for the movie and was originally on the Do the Right Thing soundtrack.
