Home Videeos is a DVD by Canadian hip hop artist BJ Taylor. It was released on February 5, 2007 in Canada. It is also the first DVD release by BJ Taylor. The title's use of two letter 'e's is an allusion to BJ's speech impediment commonly heard in the majority of the recordings. It contains 7 home videos that were recorded via a webcam in Antoine's home sometime in 2004. All the videos feature Antoine collaborating with friends to parody themes specific to each video, with the exception of "Breaking Shit" and "Breaking Shit II" which literally feature a recording of Antoine smashing his VCR with an steel utility pipe. It will possibly be re-released as a bonus disc to a planned rarities/faux-live album sometime in 2007.

[edit] Trivia

• 2 home videos were purposely not included on the DVD, entitled "The Rubberheads" and "The Rubberheads 2". They featured Antoine and the friend from the "Breaking Shit" series with their heads entirely encased in saran wrap (with the exception of mouth-holes) fighting and headbanging to Slipknot songs. It was not included on the DVD because Antoine felt it was "stupid" and did not make as big of an impression as the other classic videos did. A possible reason could also be Antoine's brutal fall-out with the friend featured in this video in the past few months.
• "Breaking Shit" has no audio because Antoine's friend who was in the house controlling the recording forgot to plug the microphone to the computer prior to filming.
• The woman who interrogates Antoine at the end of "Breaking Shit II" is not an actor but is a neighbor of Antoine who was afraid he would damage her car while smashing a VCR outside. The fact that it was being recorded was completely oblivious to her.
• At the end of "BJ (Blow Job) Taylor", Antoine's friend puts his head in front of the camera and says "Go Calgary!"
