What’s better than planning a trip to Dominican Republic with your juicy on-again off-again gf? Making a fly video about it, that’s what. Bodega Bamz infuses this uptown scene with a tap dance flow and true Spanglish comedy flavor. Will be checking for more of his videos, especially if curly hair and driving other people’s luxury cars is a constant.
This dude yo… He’s like 50 Cent liiiiiiiiiiiiite. Super light. Gluten-free, extra nutritious. Plus his vids leave a lot to be desired. But he’s making music a lot so he’s got that going for him. I’m just left to wonder where this pusher-from-the-streets-becomes-big-rap-star story arc goes. A mystery for all times.
