    Really? I like it. The beat and the lyrics (which are on-point as far as sidepieces go).

    Now the video is definitely a deuce-dropping. All makeshift and sh*t.

    I would love dearly to be able to front, but this is some great-sounding shit. That said, I do hope there's an instrumental somewhere.

    Now the video is definitely a deuce-dropping. All makeshift and sh*t.
    You know, I don't know. Watching it, I feel like dude is pretty expertly working a few different sides with this: He is completely convincing as a cigar-smoking tuxedoed huxtable slow-nodding at all that paralegal laffy taffy, and is also completely convincing as the short-sleeved party reptile sweating it out at Club La Vela or wherever. And I think that makeshift quality you're talking about is calculated to make both scenarios seem plausible and natural, and--more importantly--to make Arruh seem at least a little more accessible to all. Dry-humping Keri Hilson onstage at some show on a motorcycle is some pretty rarified, distancing shit, you know? By contrast, I can definitely see a lot of women coming away from watching this video thinking that they look better than at least half the women in it, and I can definitely see creepy old dudes and creepy young dudes both coming away from this video saying "That's my man throwing down!"

    I mean, I still mostly think he's a sack of shit on the humanity tip, but as always, the image management here is flawless.
