Reporting live from the Eiffel Tower in Paris at night, Crooked I and Joell Ortiz spit some bars for the camera. These two really kil… Eh, do I really have to say it at this point? You know. I know. Haters know. Other rappers know. Joell’s couple lines about video game system was too nice. Directed by [...]
