I think what it lacks conceptually and creatively is made up for with Joseph Khan's great cinematography, direction, and lighting. I think it's a simple yet aesthetically effective way of conveying an idea, which is actually why I also like Capone N Noreaga's new video for "Rotate", although I'm sure they took that approach due to financial limitations rather than creative vision. However, the whole idea of "Careful" along with "Gravel Pit" and "Protect Ya Neck" comprising a short film is wack and poorly thought out. Yes, I am also aware that the video was never officially released due to quality concerns and then deceptively masked under the "MTV banned it" defense, even though I think they would have banned it anyway. SMH at Method Man for refusing to participate in this video due to its gratuitous violence yet promoting blatant misogyny in the "Gravel Pit" video. I also think The Hidden Chambers compilation is great, but in my opinion no collection of Wu-Tang rarities is complete without RZA and GZA's "Third World" from the Soul Assassins Ch.1 album: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PDsy2IGiviw “Careful” is actually my favorite Wu-Tang video.
