If, like me, you believe that YG & Nipsey Hussle’s “Fuck Donald Trump” stands as music’s most biting and important piece of political criticism in this utterly dogshit year of election nonsense, then 2 Chainz’s new video for “100 Joints” will do good things for you. The track, originally appearing on March’s ColleGroove, pretty much goes where the title suggests, 2 Chainz talking about how many joints he smokes a day. It’s 100.
But the video is a different prospect. It opens with two Donald Trump quotes on America’s Muslim community (three guesses) before going on to follow a Muslim family’s day-to-day. 2 Chainz himself wears a traditional kaffiyeh and igal at points. Eventually he’s on his knees praying.
It’s not “Fuck Donald Trump”—the combination of video and lyrics made that exceptional—but it’s another indication of hip-hop’s increasingly essential and mainstream role in fucking with fascism this year.
