the video offers a lot of symnetary most of the time the video will have a space in the middle with nothing appearing the effects work well for the video controversial due to the amount of stobe lights used in the video the video also has no meaning its just a normal rap song
the video offers a lot of symnetary most of the time the video will have a space in the middle with nothing appearing the effects work well for the video .

when you watch the video and listen to the beat you can tell its a hip hop song with the beat and the producing that us set behind it the beat is very slow but works well for there rapping style.
With the use in media the song was used for the french election and loads of rappers jumped on and did remixes to the song.
I picked the song because i thought it was very diffirent compared to most music videos most videos arent film live and i think it worked really well for those two because most rap videos contain sex drugs and voilience
