Why is this so dope?
It really is just dope. It's a recipe for a dope video. Just stand in front of the Unisphere, put the camera below you (for that heroic steez), and let it roll. Alternatively, gather your posse to stand in front and posture. I think the phenomenon is related to standing really close to a wide angle lens (cf. Busta Rhymes - Gimme Some More), dancing in a room that gets smaller toward the back (cf. Redman - I'll Bee Dat), having your posse stand in a white room (cf. Limp Bizkit ft. Method Man, Flava in Ya Ear Remix), and having P. Diddy's kid dance in your video.
Just a quick list off the top:
MOP - World Famous

Coolio - Keenan and Kel theme song (I don't actually know if this is the Unisphere or some shitty Universal Studios reproduction)
