I’ll forever be indebted to hip hop. Without the ribald antics of many of my favorite rappers, I wouldn’t know that I should value diamond pendants above everything. Or that women love getting champagnes poured on their decadently round rear ends. This video celebrates that…every cliché we know and love in hip hop music videos.

God bless you, rappers. Our spinning rim, gaudy pendant, and floor-clean-up-after-liquor-is-poured-out-for-homies industries wouldn’t be nearly as vibrant and recession-proof without you.
