#EntertainmentPSB: 2 Chainz – “Watch Out” Video – January 27, 2016
By: Donte’ Grant @DineroJones
2 Chainz is back with easily the best Rap video of 2016 in “Watch Out.” Just watch for yourself. My words can’t do this any justice. Seriously. The new clip is directed Motion Family, the uber talented video crew based in Atlanta. A moon man from the VMA’s is in their near future.
If you recognize the beat it’s probably because the track was licensed by Beats by Dre in Cam Newton‘s new Powerbeats 2 commercial, which features 2 Chainz as the voice over. Chainz is definitely giving the rap game a lesson on how to make revenue off a mixtape record that was initially released for free. “Watch Out” was a stand out cut from his latest mixtape “Trapavelli Tre” in mid 2015. After “Watch Out” picked up steam at radio and streaming outlets the song was quickly added to iTunes. We see why.
