Video Review Wednesday-Remember Me T.I. (feat. Mary J Blige)

This week’s video up for review is T.I.’s new video “Remember Me” featuring Mary J Blige. I feel personally connected to the song with my son’s father/boyfriend type thing in jail. He always makes sure to write me and our son. This video struck a chord within me.The video is based around T.I. in prison. Throughout the video different prisoners are shown looking over what is happening during their absence. One inmate is watching his girlfriend talking and flirting with another man while his daughter is in the doorway watching. Another inmate is shown watching his mother throw his letter away in the garbage. This video shows that some inmates are forgotten and alone and we need to remember them if we truly love them. The beat to this song is amazing, and Mary’s voice just adds to the message.

Jesse Tererro is a very good director. I love some of the videos he’s done. If you aren’t familiar with his name he’s done “Bleeding Love” by Leona Lewis, “Showstopper” by Danity Kane, “Runaway Love” by Ludacris, and many others. Jesse Terrero makes videos that make a statement and he’s hit another homerun with this one. The video is empty of the cars, and girls, and NuVO that most hip hop videos are based around these days. Instead T.I. is shown rapping in his jail cell, but this video isn’t all about him. Terrero did a good job balancing concept and artist. There was enough of T.I. to let someone watching that it was his video, but that there is a story to tell. I give this video two thumbs up, I love it and think it’s very good. If you don’t believe me check it out below.
