I disagree, I thought this video was meh and the DNA vid was way better, this is alright though.

I wasn't feeling the video for "DNA" because it had nothing to do with the song. For a song where he's talking about everything he's made of you'd think that would play a role in the video instead doing a rap version of "The Day The Earth Stood Still".

For this, the song ain't really about anything in particular, so nice cinematography is good enough for me. And the Gordon Parks recreations were nice.

I got the movie reference but I felt like the video was a DNA activation of sorts...which is why he had Don Cheadle on a string like that, his DNA gives him the power to tap into other people, specifically black folks.

I'm weird like that though.

I kinda got that vibe but they should've shown it in more detail....kinda how the music in "Hostile" (the Erick Sermon and Keith Murray song) was a virus going from person to person.

That clip still gives me chills to this day! :mindblown:

You gotta be able to inflict that air of unpredictability and danger... Like the random nikka poppin out the doorway at 2:22 :banderas:
