Shook Ones Pt. 2
Put em in Their Place
Cobra
In the culture of hip hop, where posturing is sometimes seemingly everything, it's always refreshing to see Mobb Deep do their best. They don't shift their image, they don't play nice for kicks, they aren't rhyming about the newest fashion but instead they consistently do what they're excellent at: posturing as the toughest tough guys in hip hop. The Shook Ones Pt. 2, my personal favourite, is a super straight forward video. The director weaves short street narratives with straight up shots of Havoc & Prodigy addressing the viewer. The weave is uncluttered and just seems to honour the uncluttered rhymes and dark beats. Cobra, makes a nice little reference to La Haine or maybe they just shot that video in Paris. Either way, branding strategists take note.
