Young Jeezy Mocks Palin & McCain in new music video for “Crazy World”

I think we all saw this one coming. In the music video for Def Jam artist Young Jeezy’s latest single, “Crazy World,” the rapper exposes all that has gone awry with our world. The video feels like an urban rendition of Cloverfield–hundreds of people are running around in the streets, as gas prices continue rising and lame presidential hopefuls (Sarah Palin and John Mccain) ignorantly hold their thumbs up.
My initial reaction: Interesting video, but I think it’s too delayed to make any impact on the American people. Barack won the election. Gas prices have been declining steadily for the past 60 years. Sarah Palin is out of the spotlight. Had Jeezy dropped this video a few weeks ago (say–before November 4), I think he could have reached a much wider audience. Nice attempt, though.
