N.E.R.D and Future Tackle Police Brutality in New Video
This is essential viewing...
N.E.R.D made a massive comeback last month. Not only did they announce a brand new album, No One Ever Really Dies, featuring Kendrick Lamar, Ed Sheeran and more but they also released an amazing Rihanna collaboration called 'Lemon'.
Now they've just put out the music video for their Future cut '1000' and it is brilliant.
Assembling a riot
Chanting and circling the fires
Heard behavior, can't keep it quiet
Kinetic energy a thousand times higher
Holy shit it's working, we all got in
Holy shit it's working, now look at my friends
Holy shit it's working, it's bitter to the taste
Holy shit it's working, we dancin' in place
What goes up must come down
What goes in must come out
You surrounded, dawg, come on look around
I was zen, but no not now
Holy shit it's working, no more trail of tears
Holy shit it's working, the prophecy is here
Holy shit it's working, we're wreckin' this bih
Holy shit it's working, one thousand percent
In the mirror, there's a hero
One, zero, zero, zero
Hey, hey, hey, 1000
Git, 1000
Ha, 1000
Ah, 1000
My girl don't wear shoes unless they cost over 1000
Brand new coupe cost couple hundred thousand
Got some models in the bed and they coming by the thousand
Them young goons never sleep, they somewhere prowling
Everywhere we go they tote a chopper by the thousand
Rick Owens boots, I'm walking on a few thousand (ayy)
Champagne in the club costs thousands
We got gold by the bar, that's thousands
Ferragamo belt will hit me for a even thousand
We can gamble right now, bet a thousand, shoot a thousand
Count the money up in all hundreds all thousand
I'm too rich to talk if ya ain't talking thousands
In the mirror, there's a hero
One, zero, zero, zero
Assembling a riot
Chanting and circling the fires
Heard behavior, can't keep it quiet
Kinetic energy a thousand times higher
Holy shit it's working, I'm feeling like a saint
Holy shit it's working, my feel sorry, can't
Holy shit it's working, we painted our face
Holy shit it's working, the rainbow angst
One, zero, zero, zero
One, zero, zero, zero
One, zero, zero, zero
One, zero, zero, zero
In the mirror, there's a hero
One, zero, zero, zero
Act like you don't really hear a lot
You can pretend when you are
Karma makes sure tears will drop
You'll be wishing that your year will stop
It will be a thousandfold one, zero, zero, zero, dot
Act like you don't really hear a lot
You can pretend when you are
Karma makes sure tears will drop
You'll be wishing that your year will stop
It will be a thousandfold one, zero, zero, zero, dot
One, zero, zero, zero
One, zero, zero, zero
One, zero, zero, zero
One, zero, zero, zero
In the mirror, there's a hero
One, zero, zero, zero
Hey, hey, hey, 1000
Git, 1000
Ha, 1000
Ah, 1000
YES. YOU CAN WATCH A BRAND NEW N.E.R.D MUSIC VIDEO RIGHT NOW.
After having fun with the playful choreography in 'Lemon', '1000' takes a far more serious political tone. It opens with a clip of protestors tearing apart a confederate flag and then it unfolds into a montage of clips of police brutality and activism.
N.E.R.D aren't holding back with this visual and we are in complete awe of it.
The music video also stars 'Lemon''s brilliant dancer Mette Towley. In '1000' Mette adopts a fierce persona as she slays an array of next level moves. She also leads a brilliant army of dancers in a 'Formation' esque routine. It's magnificent.
Her talent is out of this world and we love that N.E.R.D are showcasing it.
Hopefully, she will dance in all of their visuals this era. She's a superstar.
We cannot wait to hear the album in full next week.
It's so good to have N.E.R.D back together again.
