YG just dropped his new video for "Still Brazy" on Wednesday. The clip features YG spray painting the walls while the camera rotates around him and his crew. The style of the video is actually remarkably similar to that of Tupac's "Hit 'Em Up," featuring a blank white background with multiple versions of the rapper visually stuttering in the middle. It's not clear if it's a direct homage to the "Hit 'Em Up" video or if it's just meant to emulate the style, but with both artists being California-bred gangster rappers, both songs addressing being shot, and "Still Brazy" clearly carrying a G-funk style, it wouldn't be a surprise.
"Still Brazy" is the title track from YG's recently released sophomore album. The project features the much-discussed song "FDT (Fuck Donald Trump)," as well as "Twist My Fingaz" and "Why You Always Hatin'" featuring Drake and Kamaiyah. Still Brazy has been garnering widespread critical praise for YG, with some calling it the best pure gangsta rap album to come out in years.
YG is currently touring the country in support of his album on Logic and G-Eazy's Endless Summer Tour. He recently sat down with Complex News to discuss the album and give some insight into his creative process. "I knew I wanted the sound to be taken to the next level, so whoever I was working with, I told them I wanted some next level, West Coast shit," he said.
