My favorite song on the album. Can’t wait to see the video. How I Got Over really is a musical masterpiece front to back. Best album I’ve heard in a VERY long time.

Rik Cordero is terrible director. I was so glad they switched directors up for that dear god video it was actually good. Now their back to these garbage videos like on their last couple albums didn’t he direct all those straight to internet ones?
judgmental prick

in all seriousness Rik is a lazy director who hasn’t made not 1 rewatchable / engaging video. 75 bars being the exception. Otherwise his videos are coherently photographed bore-fests with cliche performance setups or terribly acted / concepted narrative pieces.

That said these stills look promising, lets hope with all the practice he has gotten with these def jam budgets he can hold my attention for 3 and half minutes.

This looks like it’ll be fucking epic.

It’s a great album overall but The Fire is definitely one of the bigger songs on HIGO.

Really looking forward to seeing this.
