The Double-M-Genius is on a Double-M-Grind. Today the MMG boss Rick Ross, MTV News’ “Hottest MC in the Game”, dropped yet another video from his Rich Forever mixtape.
“High Definition” starts off with a Mike Tyson interview which aired on CBS, it’s the same audio bite that begins the song.
The Dre Films-directed video opens with black and white shots of a Rozay’s Mustang and Porsche which are flashed on the screen at the same time as Saint Denson’s synthy West Coast inspired thump begins its build. There is a bodacious model atop the car hood (scantily clad of course) and there is the Bawse with his patented shades, multiple chains dangling from his neck and a white Adidas track jacket just to keep it hip-hop.
“I can talk about the bodies, I can tell ya about the killin’/ Duct tapin’ n---as in the name of drug dealin’,” Ross spits with his opening bars as he steps to a free-hanging microphone.
Like many of Rozay’s videos “High Definition” is a gaudy display of the rapper’s luxurious life. A garage full of high-priced vehicles, black diamonds and gorgeous women; in one scene Ross shows that he literally has money to burn as a stack of bills are set ablaze.
It’s a simple set up that goes a long way in illustrating Ross’ tireless hunger for the finer things in life. Material posessions are nice, but it’s the respect that he gets from his rap peers that keeps Ross rich forever. Both Pharrell and Timbaland appear in the clip in support of big-bellied MC. Wale also makes a cameo, showing off his new Air Jordan 9s for the camera.
“High Definition” doesn’t break any new ground for Rick Ross, then again it doesn’t seem if that was ever the intent. Instead it just reinforces the image of Rick Ross, the biggest boss of them all.
