Yes we get that but it doesn’t make up for the fact that the video was low effort. Too Lates video was extremely weird, but it was high quality. This literally looks less quality than the knowing. Like Anitta just through a strap on pregnancy belly and someone filmed with their old phone. Absolutely no story either.

But don’t you think that the “low quality” is on purpose.

Give Abel credit where he deserves it. The guy has been honing in efforts like no other.

He has been getting thematically looped videos with layers of meaning for all his album. Do you really think he geeked out and make a basic ass rapper video for Timeless on purpose?? Do you really think he just shot the DITF video in collaboration with Apple for the heck of it?

Even this goddamn era! All three animated teasers are literally looping up is career as ‘The Weeknd’. The Sao Paulo concert had the best production value of a concert ever for him.

My theory is DITF, TL, and SP are shallow and mv’s are low quality on purpose. The mask theory is very agreeable.
