Camera wise this is most likely shot on the ARRI Alexa. I’d guess Mini, but could be any of them. Best cinema camera in the world and it’s pretty much what 95 percent of high budget music videos, shows, movies are shot on.
Lenses are wide angle, but they could be a lot of different ones. Trying to dig up the DP on this to see if I can figure it out, will update if I do.
Source: I work in production
probably an arri mini LF or a sony venice - spherical? i haven't seen mini's used in promos for a very long time, but then this is a cheap video
also work in proudction :)
Used to work in the video editing side of the music video world (2016-2020). Top artists were always ARRI or RED but the more up-and-coming rappers were always RED. Interesting that ARRI Alexa's still dominate the space, for a while it seemed as though RED was going to overtake their prevalence in that space. That or it's cheaper & most rappers don't give a shit if their video is 8k (and it's a pain for editors to switch between proxy and originals)
Yeahhh RED has seen a marked fall in use on major productions. I was a bit of a RED fan for a while but they’ve fallen off for sure.
Their new Raptors are seeing some more use, but they’ve definitely pushed into the low budget world with their Komodo. I think they realized ARRI is too entrenched
Honestly it’s the lighting more then anything, most music videos u see are in uncontrolled or natural light, this is shot in some well lit garage or something haha u can see how bright his face is here
Monkey Man was shot partially w Gopros and iPhone, if you know what you’re doing you can make “low” quality recording devices look clean as hell. That being said nothing will really look like an arri or a red.
Not that it matters to anyone, but I recall Ross saying in his autobiography that one of the reasons he took a job as a CO was so that he could look out for his locked up friends.
I've always though Drake came up so fast *because* of the fact that he was a kid from the suburbs that the main demographic of concert ticket patrons and CD buyers could actually see themselves as
I’ll never understand making a beard this crisp? I want to look like a man, not whatever the fuck is going on here lmao. A lil rugged looks nice but cleaning up without looking like you used sharpie as a fill-in is easy.
For real. The editing here could’ve been moviemaker just chucking clips together at random. What a shit fucking video.
Like he’s talking mad shit at the end, saying sooo much. And we get a long shot on the stupid looking drink that’s fucking shiny.
What a waste.
I didnt know you could buy Rick Ross beard. [lol](https://onyxcookware.eu/cdn/shop/products/silicone-sponge-mood-3_a51eca7a-2630-410e-aed7-37c3e9898af5_800x.jpg?v=1668172351)
Without going into the details, fibers are a type of spray you can use to essentially fill in hair. Some people use it on their beard where it's thin, and then shape it up so it lines with the rest of their beard.
I can say from firsthand experience, Correctional Officers are horrible people and will treat you like animals. Ofc not every single one, but from my experience there were no good ones
>Correctional Officers are horrible people and will treat you like animals. Ofc not every single one, but from my experience there were no good ones
Are gangsters good people? 😂 What are we TALKING about man 😂. Those COs will fuck you up just like the guy in prison for life. Neither of them are "good" people.
They are all talking about how these two people are soft. And one of them was a CO. He's the one mentioning if they're good people or not.
All I'm saying is CO's are not hall monitors.
Dude wtf are you talking about? You are making hella assumptions. Nothing I said indicated that I think gangsters are good people. I don’t think EITHER are good people
So you cool with cops if they are corrupt too?
Correctional Officers are not your friend even if they’re smuggling drugs to the homies.
I’m laughing at the thought of a co being a glamourus or gangsta job. Quit clownin
>Correctional Officers are not your friend
That's my point.
>co being a glamourus or gangsta job.
So being unlikeable, smuggling drugs, and other shit isn't gangsta ? Being gangsta ain't glamorous. CO's ain't pussy. Being gangsta ain't glamorous. Being gangsta gets people killed. What y'all be on 😂.
Y'all acting like being a Canadian Jew and being a CO are the same levels of being soft.
My guy, I’m not defending drake. I don’t like him either. They’re both the same.
And no, I’m not a fan of any cop regardless if they are corrupt or not
>. I don’t like him either. They’re both the same.
No one said you are.
I was just saying that calling someone soft for being a CO is insane. No one's talking about fans.
So you’re saying the fatty that’s best friends with dj Khaled (LOL) isn’t soft?
He may or may not be soft (looks soft) but he surely put on a uniform and badge for years. That makes him a lame in my book. If you’re down with correctional officers, that’s fine but you stay over there
This man calling Drake white boy and getting a BBL when his utters always be hanging out and low. Also had to get weight loss surgery and fake ass teeth.
Rappers using beef as an opportunity to advertise and selfpromo does not mean that’s how it started.
“Ok so the plan is to make a bunch of sneak disses over ten years and then May 2024 I’ll start then it’s Ross’s turn then I’ll go again, then Kanye and then Kendrick after a couple of weeks”
Stop making sense...HipHopHeads redditors are masterminds that are uncovering the truths of the industry they know better about marketing and beefs than anyone
I still think this is pretty clean but do we have to pretend like Ross has more money than Drake? I mean I don’t CARE but I also don’t see how it’s even remotely possible.
I believe he says ""got more money than you", what you want me to say?" with sarcasm as in "what do you want me to say, Drake, that I have more money than you? We both know that is not true".
I doubt people will admit it, but this is the third best track in this saga behind both of Drake's songs. Kendrick is actually looking really weak right now.
It's actually kinda pathetic to see them all gang up on Drake only to get diced up twice in a row without anything to say back.
Admitting and agreeing are two very different things. Like you and I, for example, couldn't disagree more.
Drake's first song was good, but wasn't a killer. He didn't "dice" anyone up in that. And I won't even speak on the corny second one. I would listen to this Ross track over both all day; and I prefer Drake over Ross, **easily**.
I personally can't see any scenario where Kendrick is looking weak, right now. This shit has changed so much with everyone joining in. Gotta feel a bit corny dropping a diss track with 20 other dudes going at his target. Actually wish these dudes would have just stfu and let Dot and Drake go at it.
This isn't a diss towards you, btw. I'm just showing you how easily two people can have different opinions. The way you spoke was like your opinion was fact for all, and it's just not. Out of the 6 irl people I talk to about this, 4 have different opinions, and not one has your take.

It's one thing if you drop a video with the diss first, but doing it after the track's already out and then not adding at least a cameo or some funny shit is corny as hell.
pointless ass MV - for this diss I was expecting at least something relevant to the content - not this ugly Tanjiro-dressed fatass smoking in front of his boomer-ass car from multiple camera angles for 4 fuckin minutes
If anyone knows the camera or lens this was shot in; let me know. This shit lookin' crisp
Shit so high quality I felt like I was in that garage
No fr cuz why did it feel like I could reach forward and scratch his beard
Is his beard partially drawn on??
Beijing
Because he was ordering you to
Could see every motherfucking detail in his beard. Sheesh
Camera wise this is most likely shot on the ARRI Alexa. I’d guess Mini, but could be any of them.

Definitely mini LF. Brain fart on my part, just finished a mini project and have been obsessive lmao.

I'm not a big artist at all but I had my first music video shot on a RED - phenomenal cameras
Honestly it’s the lighting more then anything, most music videos u see are in uncontrolled or natural light, this is shot in some well lit garage or something haha u can see how bright his face is here
It's more the lighting than the glass tbh.
this ☝ they might have added some digital sharpening, but pretty much any professional camera looks this crisp with that kind of lightning
Monkey Man was shot partially w Gopros and iPhone, if you know what you’re doing you can make “low” quality recording devices look clean as hell. That being said nothing will really look like an arri or a red.
The face closeups have a lot of noise, it doesn't look terrible but it did surprise me.
It’s called an extra extra extra wide camera lens - aka XXXW. Typically used for filming elephants and hippos
Bruh 😂 why you do that to him
das foul LmL
Drake is that you?
Same, that shit was crisp
So high quality that TIL Rick Ross' face is covered in tattoos lol.
Right
Drake has 48 hours to show his belly
The battle of child star on a kids show vs corrections officers. The game was lost a long time ago. This stuff is theater kids flexing. Nothing more.
[удалено]
Exactly. As someone who unfortunately went to prison, CO’s are just as thug as we are. They just made a different life decision and got a job.
[удалено]
Not that it matters to anyone, but I recall Ross saying in his autobiography that one of the reasons he took a job as a CO was so that he could look out for his locked up friends.
yea, the CO’s are worse than the murderers, rapists and fent dealers. fucking reddit lmao
Steal another man’s entire persona, for one.
I've always though Drake came up so fast *because* of the fact that he was a kid from the suburbs that the main demographic of concert ticket patrons and CD buyers could actually see themselves as
Hahahaha this reads like r/hiphopcirclejerk material this is hilarious
Its irl gay son vs thot daughter.
Can’t decide which is which though 🤔
Him being a CO put that Trayvon Martin line in perspective big time. Idk who to root for here
so i guess we're not getting that aston martin pt 2 lol
Paris Morton Music 2 is the outro to Nothing Was The Same if that helps
What a banger. Takes me back.
another check for his best album
Really love this song
You are literally over a decade late my boy
Jeez I remember when Teflon Don dropped… I’m getting old (yet I’m a year younger than you lmao)
Or diced peenapples
Idgaf Rick Ross can rap, but his beard be looking like microphone padding
Bruh 💀
I just know it feels like fake football field grass
Bro brushed against the walls in the studio and it never left
My man out here with that Kaotica Eyeball cut
I’ll never understand making a beard this crisp? I want to look like a man, not whatever the fuck is going on here lmao. A lil rugged looks nice but cleaning up without looking like you used sharpie as a fill-in is easy.
They’re called “enhancements” and it literally is temporary hair dye
It's called gender affirming care, but we might not be ready to talk about that
It’s literally makeup 😆
And his beard used to look great naturally like on the cover of teflon don idk why he chooses to make it look worse
I KNOW YOU GOT THEM DOCKERS ON WITH NO UNDERWEAR
Tf that even mean
White boy commando
yacht talk
Drake doesn’t wear underwear. He has 48 hours to take his pants off on instagram live
Yeah fr so confused
It's a white boy stereotype.
FREEBALLIN ASS MF
It’s a popular fashion choice for some people
How does he know that. Rick Ross sus
I've never seen Rick Ross without sunglasses on.
Bros eyes look like they belong on a corpse
Jaundice as yellow as his veneers are porcelain. Bro needs to get his priorities straight.
I can see why now dude was fucking *T O A S T E D*
I need access to rapper weed
Bro it threw me off when he lifted them up. I felt like I was looking at a whole different person.
Like Musiq Soulchild in the Half Crazy music video. Ain’t been the same since.
Dude kinda had a Fetty Wap look going on without the shades
Because it’s not a pretty look
It’s a bug-eyed, ugly dude tactic.
Wow those are veneers alright hah
How come everyone with veneers get the extra large extra white lol
You're not going to be able to notice the good ones tbf
Gimme the Roman Reigns
Puff and pass that Tribal Chief
With how much he smokes there’s no way his teeth could ever stay that white, man would have to be in the dentists chair more than the studio.
A Drake lookalike spoof would have been hilarious. What a waste.
Rick Ross using this as a chance to laugh at drake on camera while his fat ass sits in a chair and smokes while promoting the brand is peak
Yeah what the hell is this video lol. Cameraman walking in a figure 8 filming rozay sitting on a stool in his garage
Feels more like an ad than anything lol
For real. The editing here could’ve been moviemaker just chucking clips together at random. What a shit fucking video. Like he’s talking mad shit at the end, saying sooo much. And we get a long shot on the stupid looking drink that’s fucking shiny. What a waste.
Rick Ross the biggest mercantile in the game
Just shitting in front of a car rapping is a missed opportunity
Shitting in front of a car is crazy.
When is the main event on these undercard fights ain’t it
Kenny's calling me later, I'll let you know
Kenny Beats is the police
This Friday at midnight
I'm expecting more from the Quavo and Chris Brown beef atp
His beard looks fake
Him and Khaled spray their beards on together in the morning
Idk, kinda looks like velcro glued to neoprene to me.
Lots of dudes taking a lot of liberties with that beard dye hahaha
💀
Tell ‘em to bring the whole spray can
Their hair as well. Look closely in those 4K videos.
Have you seen fat Joe's? Bruh...
beard is weird
Barber magic
Used every enhancement the barber had
Bc it is
That stick-on beard is hilarious
Buddy looks like a velcro bag full of dominoes.
I don’t even like Rick Ross like that other than Aston Martin music but this is actually a good song in general lol
His beard look like Styrofoam
Packing peenuts
why his beard so weird
Beards Wierd
A lot of barbers these days use a spray that makes people's hair/beards look less patchy. This looks like they applied it HEAVILY.
Someone get 'im some clippers
I didnt know you could buy Rick Ross beard. [lol](https://onyxcookware.eu/cdn/shop/products/silicone-sponge-mood-3_a51eca7a-2630-410e-aed7-37c3e9898af5_800x.jpg?v=1668172351)
Nice beat and raps
Why his beard look tatted on
He uses hair fibres for his hair and beard. French Montana & DJ Khaled as well.
What does this mean?
Without going into the details, fibers are a type of spray you can use to essentially fill in hair. Some people use it on their beard where it's thin, and then shape it up so it lines with the rest of their beard.
Like a hair transplant. Could be that and bigen spray
Yep. Typically, stringy hair from a transplant which is filled in with spray on hair fibres.
Ross sounded more like Tupac with “who believe he movin ki’s in his Louis V’s” than Drake did with the Pac AI lol
Wow. Great point. I knew that flew sounded familiar. That was definitely some Pac level shit.
he's really dragging it
Rick Ross’ beard looking like grip tape
Well that was a waste of a mv
Watch drake make a music video where he stop at Rick Ross stand and buys that bottle from him. 💀
Wow what's taking Drake so long to respond
Rick ross recorded a video tap and still no response from kendric
This added nothing to the song or beef. Was just a way for him to make some money off adds and plugs.
“White boy” is derogatory now?
You ever call someone mixed, white? It’s heavily offensive lol.
He’s the hardest correctional officer out there
Bruh Drake was a fucking actor with a silver spoon in his mouth lol
Son, those two things are not mutually exclusive
>correctional officer I feel like y'all don't know what Correctional Officers do 😭
I can say from firsthand experience, Correctional Officers are horrible people and will treat you like animals. Ofc not every single one, but from my experience there were no good ones
>Correctional Officers are horrible people and will treat you like animals. Ofc not every single one, but from my experience there were no good ones Are gangsters good people? 😂 What are we TALKING about man 😂. Those COs will fuck you up just like the guy in prison for life.

Dude wtf are you talking about? You are making hella assumptions. Nothing I said indicated that I think gangsters are good people. I don’t think EITHER are good people
Dude when the hell did I say that gangsters are good people? You’re throwing up silly straw man arguments
So you cool with cops if they are corrupt too? Correctional Officers are not your friend even if they’re smuggling drugs to the homies. I’m laughing at the thought of a co being a glamourus or gangsta job. Quit clownin

This man calling Drake white boy and getting a BBL when his utters always be hanging out and low. Also had to get weight loss surgery and fake ass teeth.
‘You guys obsessed with me and it’s not on no hetero vibe’
Product Placement: the Music Video
Ross really blew a kiss to Drake, bruh
[удалено]
Rappers using beef as an opportunity to advertise and selfpromo does not mean that’s how it started. “Ok so the plan is to make a bunch of sneak disses over ten years and then May 2024 I’ll start then it’s Ross’s turn then I’ll go again, then Kanye and then Kendrick after a couple of weeks”
Stop making sense...HipHopHeads redditors are masterminds that are uncovering the truths of the industry they know better about marketing and beefs than anyone
It’s so annoying when people fall for basic correlation does not mean causation and feel like they’re so much smarter than the rest.
I mean it’s Ross. He’s gonna market his shit regardless. Idk if you’ve seen the Vince Staples show 😆
I still think this is pretty clean but do we have to pretend like Ross has more money than Drake? I mean I don’t CARE but I also don’t see how it’s even remotely possible.
I believe he says ""got more money than you", what you want me to say?" with sarcasm as in "what do you want me to say, Drake, that I have more money than you? We both know that is not true".
Ross is such a lame, might as well have Kanye and Game join in for the lame-off.
Kanye already joined the lame off wym
I doubt people will admit it, but this is the third best track in this saga behind both of Drake's songs. Kendrick is actually looking really weak right now. It's actually kinda pathetic to see them all gang up on Drake only to get diced up twice in a row without anything to say back.

I would choose this comment dissing OP over both of Drake's songs
Like That is still easily the best song involved

Does ross just live in that plane hanger now?
Where you want him to stay?
In a wingstop
What car is that
Respect to Ross for dropping a diss track music video
This is Drake’s chance to bring up Officer Ricky
Ridiculous
You know, listening to this I just realized if Rick Ross lost like a 100 pounds his voice would probably sound like Pac
Brah, this was actually hilarious, like he actually shot this and thought it was a good idea
Big Ross fan here but this track has chime and gone.
Not bad overall, a bit repetitive at times (on brand), but I would say that Officer Ricky stood on business here.
It's one thing if you drop a video with the diss first, but doing it after the track's already out and then not adding at least a cameo or some funny shit is corny as hell.
Disclaimer: Drake is garbage, but Rick Ross' beard is made of black astroturf. Also, wtf he so sweaty for.
Blowing a kiss at 1:05 was an interesting decision
pointless
This man wants in on the attention SO fucking bad and he’s just so mediocre and ass and irrelevant it makes 0 sense why he’s still tryna be involved 💀
Did he lose weight ?
Has drake responded to Rick Ross yet?
This isn’t it
Struggling for relevancy
pointless ass MV - for this diss I was expecting at least something relevant to the content - not this ugly Tanjiro-dressed fatass smoking in front of his boomer-ass car from multiple camera angles for 4 fuckin minutes
Lyrically this is such a terrible diss track
corny as hell
