Future - “Gangland” (Official Video)

Atlanta autotune soothsayer Future is currently promoting two back-to-back mixtapes, the aggressive, hedonistic Monster and the Zaytoven-produced Beast Mode. One of them is possibly a tribute to Marshawn Lynch and earned our Mixtape Of The Week distinction. One of them did not. Sadly for us, Future has released a new video for “Gangland,” a track that is not off Beast Mode. In the video, directed by Nyce, he explodes around a tagged-up warehouse, bouncing off the walls and stairs, rapping boastfully about everything from making syrup to seducing your girl. He also wears a balaclava for like half of the video, which seems to be something of a theme in music lately. I’m crediting Pussy Riot for that. Personally, I still haven’t forgiven Future for losing Ciara, so I don’t really even enjoy this, but if you have.
