Ice Cube, Red Foo and 2 Chainz are the big brains at Booty Drop Laboraries where they work tirelessly to, yes, make asses shake. In other words: Science!
First off, you have to love any video that opens with a message that it's "for entertainment purposes only" — or maybe it's a coy way of saying that too many videos are boring and serve no purpose at all. Anyway. But, it's the subsequent lines of the foreward that make you realize that 2 Chainz is treading on hallowed ground, or rather moonwalking.
"Freebase" is a lo-fi remake of Michael Jackson's "Thriller" video, placing 2 Chainz into that red leather jacket and getting his groove on with some walking dead. It's awesome, even if I wish they had an Ola Ray cameo in it.
Perhaps the adage needs to be updated to, "there is nothing said to be certain in a rap video but death and strippers." Such is the cycle of life, starting at a New Orleans graveyard and a ratchet red strip club. And yet, there's something cinematic and compelling. And NSFW.
2 Chainz might have culinary cred — see his Mealtime cookbook with the deluxe version of new album B.O.A.T.S. II: Me Time — but he's not cooking up food in this new "Fork" video.
