The video for “Marvin Gaye & Chardonnay” is super wack

Remember yesterday how I said that I loved Evidence’s new video for “You,” and that it perfectly complimented the song and was just an all-around, well done video? The video for “Marvin Gaye & Chardonnay” is the polar opposite. The video is wack as f*&$. I’m not even exaggerating when I say that I’m offended at how much this video sucks.

Normally, all the pretty lights can hypnotize me into liking almost anything (#fact), but it isn’t working. Filming in like one room, dancing around with Beats by Dre headphones on, drinking Grey Goose, Roscoe Dash kind of moving around like a robot…so distressing that it’s causing me to write in fragments. First of all, this song has “CHARDONNAY” in the title (not Moscato, as I’m accustomed to hearing Roscoe rap about). Second, Hype Williams is biting the “Gold Digger” video, which he also directed. And last but not least, wack as fuck. Case closed.

The bigger question at hand, so it seems, is ‘What’s going on with Sean’s career?’ Does anyone else think this? Maybe I’m exaggerating, over-analyzing shit because that’s what I was taught to do in college. It kind of seems like he isn’t getting very much attention from Kanye, which isn’t altogether surprising since he has been concerned with releasing Watch The Throne, but I hoped that he was doing more than sexually assaulting a 17 year old and going to court for it.

I want Sean to win. I really do. He seems like a nice guy, and he’s funny as hell when he’s talking shit in his raps. But, Finally Famous was just so unremarkable, so uninspiring, despite a few good cuts, that I couldn’t bring myself to write about it. That, and I’m kind of lazy. However, at the end of the day, and at the end of this blog post, the video still sucks.
