This is fantastic. On the surface it is just another hip hop song glorifying money, guns, partying and drugs. But right below the surfaces it is satirizing all those things. Pretty much saying we are all focusing on superficial things while the world is going to hell around us. I wish a country artist would do the same thing to red state culture.
File under: old man doesn't get the hippity hoppity music these days Actually, this song is kind of interesting at times. Better that a lot of the other more recent stuff I've heard. Pretty memorable video, though.
Amazing music video, and the lyrics just match what he trying to do in the video. It's meant be a distraction.
