What, you may ask, is illustrious director, actor and altogether Hollywood badass Ron Howard up to these days?

A rap video, of course!

In a highly strange and, well, altogether amazing turn of events, Jamie Foxx’s new music video for the song “Blame It” features a cast of cameos that would make “Tropic Thunder” jealous.

No, no Tom Cruise here, he’s too busy being a pompous asshole. But we do have cameos by, and you may need brace yourself here; Jake Gyllenhaal, Samuel L. Jackson, Forest Whitaker and the aforementioned Ron Howard supplementing Foxx’s ghetto-fab ode to everyone’s favorite drug, alcohol!

It is unnerving at first to see Howard in such a strange setting but, come on, Richie Cunningham lived a pretty thug life himself back in the day.
