Retro Video of the Week: "It Ain't My Fault" by Silkk The Shocker (feat. Mystikal)

Friday will mark the 25th anniversary of the release of New Orleans-based rapper Silkk The Shocker's second studio album, Charge It 2 da Game.  Silkk, whose real name is Vyshonne Miller, is the younger brother of Master P and C-Murder.  Charge It 2 da Game was released on Master P's No Limit Records, and I definitely remember listening to this album a lot my junior year, as one of my roommates had it in his regular rotation.

The album went platinum in the U.S. within about five weeks and went to #3 on the Billboard album chart and #1 on the Billboard R&B albums chart.  The second single from the album was "It Ain't My Fault," featuring label mate and fellow New Orleans rapper Mystikal.  It would be Silkk The Shocker's highest-charting single (as the lead artist) on the Billboard Hot 100, reaching #18.  It also topped the Billboard Rap singles chart and went to #5 on the Billboard R&B singles chart.

The video features Silkk and Mystikal as death row inmates on their execution night, but the electric chairs just won't finish the job, no matter how high the voltage is turned up.
