As Kanye once again talks about dropping out of college, Rakim markets his next album, and KRS-One yells about something or other. Nas, with his smooth and raspy delivery, is the video’s only savior—everything from the camera angles to the lighting suggests classic Nas videos like “One Mic.” In the end, this video is no “My Adidas” or even...
