Video: Wiley: "Wearing My Rolex"
Wiley reportedly walked off the set of the "Wearing my Rolex" video. After watching it, it's not hard to understand why. Shame that this can't be the visual accompaniment to the tune, but that's life. Sure, perhaps girls running and writhing around London at night in fox get-ups might turn someone's crank, but it's hard to tell who. There's the wiley, sneaky, fox, foxy chicks connection, but is it a good idea to base a video's concept on a pun? What's worse is that it seems that instead of humorous, it's supposed to be sorta hot-- in a girls-dancing-poorly- while-wearing-fox-outfits kind of way. Then again, the dumpster-diving for fried chicken that's showcased in the clip: now that's sexy.
In related Rolex news, the follow-up to "Wearing My Rolex" is equally catchy; the dance craze it's spawned is as equally embarassing as the unfortunate fox costumes. The "Rolex Sweep" is a dance so ridiculously easy (and with barely a nod toward rhythm) that it makes you wonder how Wiley and Skepta get away with spitting "Soulja Boy can't dance like me." Sorry, looks like he's got you guys beat.
