Be sure to watch the video itself* - it’s really a great piece of work. The energy is frenetic and it’s got this beautiful balance of surrealism from the effects and groundedness from the human performances.

Similarly, the music video for Taylor Swif[0] (another track by A$AP Rocky) is just as surrealistic and weird in the best way possible, but with an eastern european flavor of it (which is obviously intentional and makes sense, given the filming location and being very on-the-nose with the theme).

Holy shit that’s great. I need to check a few more of his videos.

A$AP Rocky has always put out interesting videos, here are a few others that are pretty cool:

I can see how this kind of videos can attract the tiktok addicts with less than 3 seconds of attention time.

I wonder what will be the state of cinema/series/video clips in 30 years? Will singers/rappers give up sentences completely and just mention names of emojis? Will we have to use screens at 576hz to be able to watch acclerated videos without seeing a constant blur?

I guess most kids from today would fall asleep before the end of the generic of Twin Peaks or the opening scene of Fargo.

I still rewatch this video once or twice a year. I think it's a classic in my opinion.

Watch the video to the very end: the final splat is not a gaussian one.
