video had all the necessary ingredients:

crew posturing
football jerseys
everone jostling in frunna the camera
champagne
birds eye view camera angle

but he came off as a 'cool dude' during

1) hard rock era/he didnt look like a REAL nigga or a grimy nigga
2) Philly mighta still been NY Jr. I dont know if heads were really checking

i think it was a combination of factors. he was cool, but I put him the same box as LOTUG, Ill/Al Skratch niggas: NAH
