Hip hop heads should prepare to be even more jealous of Drake as he arrives at Nike World Headquarters where he and Lil Durk — plus cameos by sport stars Odell Beckham Jr., and Marshawn Lynch — seemingly have free reign throughout the massive campus.
None of the laws of physics seem to apply to the reality that is Sicko Mode, as Travid Scott and Drake hold court in various scenarios filled with abnormal touches that range from over-the-top to larger-than-life.
The Gospel according to Travis Scott is a weird book indeed, with a vengeful God above, a mother mary figure — played by his real-life partner Kylie Jenner with Khaleesi panache — and lots of other over-the-top VFX craziness that's somewhere between audacious, blasphemous and damned righteous.
Win win, win, win, win with Jay Rock and Kendrick Lamar in a succession of slick VFX scenarios that boast championship rings, Stanley Cups, and even a vision of 300 if it took place in Watts.
Kendrick Lamar and The Little Homies are back, this time collborating with director Dave Meyers for a video that's "just" a series of striking images one after the other, ranging from a Last Supper to a Grey Poupon break and on and on and on.
Luke Monaghan, director: "We shot most of the video in a small town just outside Vegas, did some pick-up's in actual Las Vegas and LA aswell. It was a proper team effort, not a great deal of money and we had a lot of locations to cover. Ben Kitchens did a great job with the cinematography, it's mostly natural and available light. We've worked that way a few times before together and he did a great job on my short film 'Baby Gangster' and a HBO documentary I'm working on.
You remember Toni Basil, right? If not, ask your parents. But, Ms. Basil had one of the first MTV music video smashes with "Mickey" — stick with it past the intro, which I don't think ever aired with the video back in the day — and also choreographed Talking Heads "Once In A Lifetime."
