Amine Pulls A Robert Downey Jr. In His Music Video For “Red Mercedes”
I know you guys remember when Robert Downey Jr. went full on black character in Tropic Thunder. Amnie doesn’t steer far from the same concept. The Portland, Oregon rapper takes on a controversial role reversal, playing both white and black characters in the visuals for “Red Mercedes.”
I for one think that this is not offensive in the least bit, but of course, we live in 2017 and everyone is always triggered by something. The video sets a strong comedic tone from the beginning, showing Amine getting walked in on in the bathroom. Shortly after we get the shot of Amine and two other characters walking into the dealership in country club attire and in lighter complexion being discriminated against. Completely satirical, but plays off the idea of the race roles being switched. Peep the video below:
