Impose TV: Watch The Throne, "Otis"

Watch The Throne, "Otis" Video by Spike Jonze

I feel a bit clairvoyant this morning. All week when asked my opinion of Watch The Throne, one of my go-to comments is that Rick Ross can no longer boast of the lavish things in life, for the simple fact that it's going to take years before he can reach Jay-Z and Kanye's ostentatious swagger of Presidential phone calls, planking on millions and recording an album in four countries, as well as New York's Mercer Hotel ($1,730 a night).

Obviously the opening shot of "Otis" is on some "oh, no they dinnit" shit. But go beyond the destruction of a $372,500 Maybach and what you have is a fun ass video that features two of rap's most successful artists laughing going LMAO in the face of the American Dream, while going H.A.M. in a tricked-out Maybach with afterburners. This is the death of baller claims in rap as it require a space Cadillac orbiting Mars to top Watch The Throne.
