UK VIDEO OF THE DAY: YOUNG DON FEATURING FEKKY – WEATHER MAN

September 10, 2012

… This new video by rapper Young Don featuring Fekky had me in stitches today. Hahahahahahahahahaha – 90s gangster rap and video imagery has a hell of a lot to answer for. Men driving through London in high-end vehicles (with the top down) on what looks like a cold, wet and glum day in the city. Perhaps the director was expecting a heat wave on the day of the shoot.

I like hearing Aaliyah’s vocals on the single but when Drake jumps in I just think ‘WHY???’ Sometimes it is best to just leave things alone. Rest In Peace Aaliyah.
