There's nothing wrong with rappers Serengeti and Polyphonic, at least not clinically. The two do come off a little bit paranoid in the video for 'Call the Law,' brought to us by Futuristic Films. Okay, they may seem a bit schizophrenic as well -- Serengeti sits on his couch frantically reading the news ticker -- which includes something about "Pitchfork blogs" -- from his local station, and yet he and Polyphonic are also the ones inside the TV itself, reading the same news as the anchors. Oh, they're also in a van outside their own apartment, staking themselves out. It makes for an entertaining, if slightly tense, video.

"Together, we don't do so well," Serengeti and Polyphonic tell Spinner. "We get very nervous and feed off each other's paranoia, sort of like two Woody Allens. So I guess this video really sums up our personal relationship."

The two of them flew from Chicago to Denver to film this video. Our apologies to the random person who had to sit in the middle seat.
