Review

Madonna pioneered the music video single on VHS with Justify My Love; leave it to her to release the first DVD single. Music chronicles a night on the town in L.A. with gal pals Debi Mazar and Niki Harris (her back-up singer of many years) and British comic/personality Ali G. Even after giving birth again, the gal still has it.

Transforming herself once again, here she goes for "ghetto fabulous" in a searing - and hysterically funny - send up of gangsta rap videos, notably those of Lil' Kim. Carousing about like a cat in heat, Maddie flies through the night, making pit-stops at a skanky bar and a strip-club, where she and the girls heave dollar bills at the gyrating female gogo dancers like hopped-up businessmen on a bender. The sequence where Miss M. is transformed into an animated version of herself (and goes on a karate-chopping rampage) is priceless. Watch for the quick shot of a clubchick giving the "animated" Ali G. a blowjob at the D.J. booth.
