Verdict on Illionaire

Recap

The music video showcases a malevolent character creating chaos at a rest stop on a barren desert road. This ominous being is gathering forces for his army, who are in a frenzied trek across the desert.

Best Parts

This video recalls the era of visually striking music videos, featuring a darker take on the ‘Addicted to Base’ song from Purebase, set against the backdrop of a desert racing adventure. It’s an entertaining watch that effectively delivers its content within the 4-minute timeframe. The music is subjective and caters well to the narrative unfolding in the video.

The video harks back to the days of grandiose music videos, offering a sinister reinterpretation of ‘Addicted to Base’ by Purebase, combined with a high-octane desert racing storyline. It’s an enjoyable watch and manages to pack a punch within its 4-minute runtime. The choice of music aligns well with the video’s narrative flow, although it’s ultimately a matter of personal preference.
