40344, The Long Time video is not as complicated as you people think

First Thought Verse - Starts at sunset, no thought in this scene, just rhythmic cinematography, highlight key ideas in the verse like "i was born in South Philly on a cement floor" and show accordingly, then for other parts like "thats silly, this philly, yall really" it goes "scene cut/scene cut/scene cut" accordingly. this is the time to show the freal street cats, breakers, graff writers, and just overall beautiful urban landscapes and end in a park, queing next scene.

The Peedi Verse - no jewelry, no chicks, nothin like that. dude bustin in a cypher in a philly park and spittin the verse with a real raw, almost smack DVD-ish quality to it, but the image should always seem a little unreal but not in the MTV way videos seem unreal more of SURreal, wether through softened light or hightened grain.

The Second Thought Verse - THE GRIMIEST PERFORMANCE SCENE EVER in a video. i mean find some club in South Philly for you guys to rock with cramped ass, sweaty, poorly light atmosphere and give Thought a case of red bulls and shoot that shit in grainy black and white. You need to show sweat, wrinkles, unbeautified people, handheld shots, and a white-out fade out at the end, this is where you can throw in something a little more artistic like maybe zoom out to show all of philly at sunrise or something.
