You say you eatin but we see you gettin cooked! Watch for ‘snakes in the eyes’ of liars and dishonest people. As much as I want to, we’re not here to discuss the lyrics on this one.

How cold is this video though?

4 hot fires for this – we love creative expression; M.C.’s take notes, especially if you’re creating your own videos. It’s always a good idea for your video to relate to the song, otherwise it’s just another video. The only thing that kept this video from

Let’s not fail to mention, that this video features a Mannequin Challenge before the actual Mannequin Challenge!

Grief from Earl Sweatshirt, was released in 2015 and this video features one of the Best Lyricists of the current generation!

The video, keeps a couple of very real life situations simple and to the point. Have you ever lost a loved one before? Dealing with sneaky serpent-like people who often slither into our lives disguised as friends, can add more layers of stress.

Perhaps you can only relate to this if you’ve seen snakes in the eyes of people you’ve dealt with.

This review is not about the lyrics but, just a few to support the case.

Step into the shadows, we could talk addiction
When it’s harmful where you going and the part of you that know it
Don’t give a fuck, pardon me for going into details
3-7-6 was a brothel
We had females come in every hour on the dot
And the shit sound like a gavel when it knock
Focused on my chatter, ain’t as frantic as my thoughts
Lately I’ve been panicking a lot
Feeling like I’m stranded in a mob, scrambling for Xanax out the canister to pop
Never getting out of hand
Steady handling my job, time damaging my ties
Who turn to get up? Get dude turned to dinner quick
You circus niggas, you turning into tricks
I was making waves, you was surfing in ’em
Dealing with the stomach pains just from birthing niggas’ shit
Cut the grass off the surface
Pray the lawnmower blade catch the back of a serpent, niggas’ shit
Bitch

The video, ‘shot in the negative’ is interesting to say the least.

Some might say the ‘subject’ is a lil down. So a video shot in the negative is the perfect expression.

Maybe this video deserves 5 lit up flames instead of just 4? Giving us a 3 part story, first, on the couch at a party with a bunch of snakes, the usual setting right? Next up, Earl slows it down for us, as a woman, in a puddle of, tears drowns in those tears. We could spend a few paragraphs on that, but won’t. The last act, Earl in the middle, smoking while the band plays us out. Literally.

Like I said, this might deserve the full 5. Especially the way those drums were ….

“Good grief, I been reaping what I sowed,
Nigga, I ain’t been outside in a minute
I been living what I wrote
And all I see is snakes in the eyes of these niggas,
Momma taught me how to read ’em when I look
Miss me at the precinct getting booked,
Fishy niggas stick to eating off of hooks” – Earl Sweatshirt, Grief
