"you on the 'gram holding money to your ear, there's a disconnect, we don't call that money over here" line of the year honestly
MV of the year easily, glad they're getting it onto youtube. Too good to keep it from the public.
So glad this got put up, as I've seen bits and pieces in various media but never had a chance to watch the full thing till now.
Loving the old school Disney/Warner Bros. vibe for the video, as it really fits the tone of the instrumental with the keys and jazz instrumentation. I also really love the smoothness of the animation throughout, especially the parts where Jaybo is walking towards the camera, and various events are going on behind him such as the slaves on the ship or the angels are going to heaven behind the bouncing skyscrapers.
Overall it's really solid, and a strong contender for one of the best videos of this year honestly. TIDAL honestly seems like a really dope service for promoting visual content like this or Beyonce's Lemonade film. Now if only they'd play a little nicer with exclusives as well (hoping for 4:44 on Friday.)
The hate coming at this is surprising. I thought this was a clear and focused track. Also people really don't understand OJ and his history, apparently.
This video is so dope, and it's just gonna cause more controversy and get people talking about the new album.
I've always been fascinated with old rubberhose animation, Fleischer Studios is my favorite, but holy fuck were they racist. Recently, I saw the movie Coonskin, and it's really worth checking out. On the surface, it LOOKS like it's overly offensive for shock value (which it kinda is, Ralph Bakshi doesn't know the meaning of subtlety), but there's some really interesting and still relevant messages about racism and stereotyping.
dude this shit is fire. is the whole album this good?
Beautifully animated, I want more animated music videos this and Good Morning are excellent.
wow i didn't expect so many people to completely miss the mark with this song/video
it's not some sort of ultra-deep hard to decipher message, it's pretty straight forward and still incredibly relevant, i can't even begin to understand how someone could not appreciate something like this or how folks are saying that nothing worthwhile is being said
Finally it's out
