♫♪  Waka Flocka Flame - “Activist” (ft. Ben G)

Don’t let the title fool you: the new Waka Flocka Flame video doesn’t feature Bono, Toms® or any organic tote-bag-ready #catchyslogan (unless you count the “BSM” plastered on Flocka’s head, but I’m pretty sure that’s still too nondescript for Target’s marketing execs). Nope, “Activist” is actually just a clever bowdlerization of Actavis, a brand of promethazine cough syrup that the Brick Squad exec is quite fond of. In other words, we’re in for another leantastic luau, filmed in blacklight for optimal, Juicy-J-level trippiness. At one point, the blue camera filter creates the illusion that this is actually a party on Pandora, and you might find yourself getting distracted picturing Flocka as a Na’vi. Elsewhere, up-and-comer Brick Squad signee Ben G impresses by spitting a catchy verse with a face slathered in neon paint, while the crowd waves their styrofoam cups in unison. “Activist” won’t save the polar bears or fix the water crisis, but seeing as how its creator has already fought fur and stood up to animal abuse, I think it’s only fair that we cut him some slack.
