Looks like Jay Rock isn't letting up before the release of "90059" tonight. Hours after dropping his song "Vice City", a video for the track just appeared on @TopDawgEnt's twitter and it accurately follows the theme of the song.
The video opens with Kendrick Lamar dancing his way into what seems to be a warehouse with stripper poles dead in the center. As Kendrick rolls through his verse it doesn't take long for the strippers to come sliding down. Once they do they start creeping up on K.Dot which to me represents the vice of lust attempting to sway him into the full act of lust. Just as they reach Kendrick they all abruptly run off screen as Jay Rock swiftly enters. The visuals in the backdrop continue to change to match what Rock is spittin'. You can tell Jay Rock is so amused during the whole thing that it brings this lightness to the song that wasn't existent via the audio.
By the time Ab-Soul shows up, the seemingly empty warehouse at the start of the video is gradually being filled with all their vices. Soul slowly makes his way through different parts of this warehouse type place and you really see how many vices are in their lives. The cut to Jay Rock immediately after Ab's verse is hilarious and probably the greatest part of the video. He's slowly sliding on a stretcher underneath women as they twerk over him. That smile on Rock's face says it all, telling you that the vices got to him in the most straightforward way possible. Once ScHoolboy Q comes in he takes the comical side of this video to a different level. He and Jay Rock are so mesmerized by the women that it's no surprise that they succumb to all the vices that are represented in the video.
The video is hilarious and extremely to the point. There isn't any confusion as to what its subject matter is about because the lyrics and the visuals go hand and hand. A video that can bring a whole new element to the song is always a good thing. So yeah, deem this video to be a good one.
