Why this must be viewed:

T.M. has been recced many times before for her excellent vids, so I'm delighted to highlight her latest: a gritty, edgy mood piece set to Alabama 3's "Woke Up This Morning (Chosen One Mix)."

We often point (with justifiable pride) to the warm and fuzzy side of Starsky and Hutch, but let's not forget: they're inner-city street cops. There's a level of mental toughness—even ruthlessness—required if you're going to pull the trigger, whether you're a cop or a criminal. And if you live by the gun, you pay the price, one way or another.

I woke up this morning
Got myself a gun
Mama always said I'd be the
Chosen one...

I'm one in a million
'Cause I got the shotgun shine (shame about it)
Born under a bad sign
With a blue moon in my eyes

T.M.'s keen eye for detail and in-depth knowledge of the canon is evident in all her fanworks and "Chosen One" is no exception. Her thoughtful choice of song and clips, skillfully edited and framed, makes this hard-hitting vid a must-see.
