"Choppin' Blades" Vid: Riff Raff Has Pink Hair, Furry Hat, Our Hearts
King producer Mike WiLL Made-It (Miley's "We Can't Stop," Kanye's "Mercy," Rihanna's "Pour It Up") has a mixtape, Ransom, that's been burning hot since December. It's got the type of all-star lineup the board-smith always pulls together: Big Sean, 2 Chainz, Future, Nicki Minaj, Lil Wayne, Kendrick Lamar. One of the standout cuts, "Choppin' Blades," features Riff Raff and Slim Jxmmi, a.k.a. half of Rae Sremmurd. The music video's here, and it's more than too good to be true.
Ordinarily Riff-Raff is a terrifying, baffling human. But today he wins the internet. The Houston-born man born as Horst Christian Simco plays Sharky McStevenson, a confident car dealer with Barbie-pink hair extensions. He apparently improvises an intro about the importance of high-stakes car-slangin': "It's not easy, and I'll ya what, it's not cheesy. And everybody likes me." Watch out for the Waka Flocka Flame cameo. (Er, sorry, the "ten-time Soul Train winner Big Trap Dawg" cameo.)
