grinding, outside

Important observations about this video:
-Akon at the beginning=Darth Sidious?
-This is a serious departure from the vague-allusions-to-drug-dealing videos that DJ Khaled normally makes. The majority of it is really bad blue-screen type stuff and has nothing to do with anything, really. There is no theme or plot; everyone is just making a very feeble attempt at looking cool.
-Goofy hats: Busta Rhymes is wearing a cookie monster cap (I want one) and T-Pain has a huge mad-hatter style top hat on.
-Rapping in nature's harshest elements is a key motif of this video. Khaled and Akon could get struck by lightning on top of that building. Rick Ross came somewhat prepared with an umbrella. Lil' Boosie...is being chased by a giant fireball. Trick Daddy spit his hot verse in the middle of a tornado. Inclement weather is not going to stop our heroes from being out there grindin', thank goodness.
-Rick Ross' chain always reminds me of this awesome piece of jewelry that belongs to Gucci Mane:

Anyway, this song sounds so much like "We Takin' Over" combined with "I'm So Hood" that I can't even listen to it since it's just a weaker version of the former two. The rappers and rapping are worse, the beat is worse, and the video speaks for itself. Try again, DJ Khaled.
