I caught this video on MTV last night. It's Juveniles first single off his new album. The video is shot in post Katrina New Orleans (he's from the Magnolia Neighborhood). Anyway, this is not your typical rap video... there's only one SUV and its been wrecked by the hurricane. I haven't been able to fully analyze the lyrics, but he definitely points fingers at the administration and the press. There's also a bit of contradiction though... at one point he basically says selling coke is a viable option if you don't have anything else to do... get your hustle on. All in all the future still seems bleak for a lot of people.
Anyway, the video may take a little while to load, so hit play then wait a bit.
