The Making of "Blanguage": A Collaboration between Metro Boomin and Young Thug
Cam Kirk's direction of the "Blanguage" music video for Metro Boomin and Young Thug captures the close collaboration between the two artists, showcasing the raw and authentic nature of their partnership. Shot in a run-and-gun style at 3-4 am in Thug’s condo, the video defies the expectations of high-budget productions and instead focuses on the genuine connection between the artists.
Drawing inspiration from Lil Wayne's "Steady Mobbin'," the video begins with Thug giving a tour of his house, followed by scenes of him searching for someone in his apartment. The unpolished, spontaneous nature of the video shoot makes the speaker feel like a music video star, despite concerns about the director's vision.
Thug's brand skyrocketed thanks to his visionary approach, which included featuring a red corvette in the garage. The video showcases friends having fun and Thug dancing, capturing the essence of their camaraderie and potentially inspiring a TikTok challenge.
The "Blanguage" music video serves as a testament to the power of authenticity in the music industry. Metro Boomin and Young Thug's connection shines through, proving that even without a big budget, genuine collaboration can lead to memorable and impactful art.
