In this music video, the topic of the song is corruption within the government and political system, most of the shots are done outside either in dungeons or dark alleyways; this can connote a urbanised theme to the artists appearance and can also connote how underground there persona is and how this is the environment that the government (or 'higher ups') have put them in to keep them in suppression. In short the song talks about how black youths in poverty driven areas such as Harlem, The Bronx etc, find it incredibly difficult to live life legitimately due to the environment they are stuck in, which in the end leads to to live a life of crime through drug dealing and other criminal activity. Almost all of the people in this music video are wearing scarves, bandanas etc to cover their face; they are also walking down the street in a large group which can connote that they are rebelling against the rules that are set upon them. This can be highly related to the early hip-hop group known as Public Enemy. Groups and artists such as these will film mainly in urbanised areas to connote a raw appearance which is what i will add to my music video.
