The Sanction clips were excellent and they've really aged well compared to the rest that were released during that period, It was the best clips VHS until the Kibuisa clips came out. I have this on VHS and I used to watch it over and over, I was hoping the Viagra clips would be similar to Sanction but they really weren't they just looked like the normal quality that most groups were doing.

It sad that viagra video wasnt that good. I think its due to the fact that the band split during the promo. Viagra is so underated man
It deserved a big tour, dope clips ect

It was because they cut their contract with Secteur A. Secteur A was at that time the biggest raplabel of France, they arranged for them a good team to record videoclips for Sanction. Academia's contract with Secteur A were 3 albums, but Academia wasn't respecting the contract and wanted more freedom, which both parties decide to cut the contract and Viagra being their last album with Secteur A. Academia did those Viagra clips on their own who were made by Martin Mapangu. However, the clips the did in Kinshasa with Jhymmy Mukelenge weren't bad (Somunikriye, Zabalumbu and Viagra pt 2), they were maybe even better than the clips of Sanction.



Zabalumbu from 23:03 min made in Kinsuka

Ndeko I've gotta disagree with you there, the kin clips are good and better than the europe clips but they're not better than the clips of sanction. the Viagra clips in general aren't bad they're just not as good as Sanction, Sanction set the bar too high as an album and clips.

Viagra clips were cheap.
In sanction you feel the alchemy with the dances and the consistency with the aestethic aspect (quartier latin logo in the background, wores same clothes, the whole group in the videos).
In viagra videos you feel that, the « esprit d’equipe » wasnt there anymore.
