Hey guyz, its a fruitful Friday as we all count down to the elections. M.I decided to make the weekend more interesting by dropping the video to the critically acclaimed hit song featuring Chi Gurl 'MONKEY'
While this song makes me laugh every time I hear it, due to the auto tuned chorus which has Chi Gurl, the rap also has some catchy lines like the opener- ' ...Na only you waka come' 'If you set me leg I go jump am or break am but I must make am' I can't really praise the quality of creativity in the video.
It opens with Chi Gurl in a traditional 'aria ria' gospel music video of the late 80's and early 90's, quite innovative, but the transition to M.I dressed as a monkey is only reminiscent of Cold play's video for Paradise, though the monkey is less active.
M.I appears at the last verse of the video when the 'Monkey' had eventually made it big, but it feels like a drag as the only proof of him making it is a bottle of champagne which he throws about. The two guys in the studio recording the Monkey have a lot of acting classes to attend as they look as unconvincing as a signpost on a dark night.
Well it's M.I.'s directorial debut, but he has to do a lot better with his story line next time. “Well folks, here's the official music video of “Monkey” featuring Chigirl. ENJOY!
