• Video: Chris Brown recruits Big Sean and Wiz Khalifa for joy ride to nowhere

    According to a recent tweet, Chris Brown is dedicating his new music video for “Till I Die” to the late Beastie Boy Adam “MCA” Yauch. However, after watching this depiction of Brown, Big Sean and Wiz Khalifa getting high and cruising around time, we’re not sure how “honored” Yauch might feel.
    .

    Nonetheless, if you’re looking for a classic, feel-good video, Brown won’t be doing you any injustice here. Things get going in an office where an “I-hate-my-life” mailroom dude stumbles around the office before C Breezy trips him and the all-out ruckus gets underway. Big Sean and Khalifa show up looking all blinged out per usual before all three hop into (who else?) Snoop Dogg’s pimped-out ride (replete with a gaggle of ladies, no less) for a joy ride. They end up at a house. Things get even crazier. Such is the rap life.
    .
    Now it’s not so much that the video was dedicated to Yauch, or even the fact that nothing really happens in the video that makes us a bit sheepish about it. Rather, it’s the lack of melody and display of skills from nearly everyone involved. Brown lays down one of his more mediocre vocal turns, Big Sean sounds like he lifted the exact rhyme cadence from “Dance (A$$),” and Wiz Khalifa, while undoubedtly the highlight of the track, sounds less than enthused to be copping another $100K (or so we cano nay assume) for this guest verse.
    .
    The video isn’t awful. But it certainly isn’t one you’ll remember. It certainly however, isn’t going to register as something you’ll ever want to associate with the genius that was Adam Yauch.

      That is so inconsiderate of Chris Brown to dedicate such a pathetic and egotistic video to a real rapper and musician, MCA.  I am disgusted by Chris Brown and the majority of these 'pop-hoppers', punk-@$$ fools.
