Blaccout, “Lisa B”

by | Jun 7, 2013

This video comes from a resident of Minnesota by the name of BlaccOut. I was scrolling the feed on a music administrator’s page and came across this video. “Lisa B” is not a girl’s name, but actually an acronym, which stands for “Life Is A Bitch.”

This video comes from a resident of Minnesota by the name of BlaccOut. I was scrolling the feed on a music administrator’s page and came across this video. “Lisa B” is not a girl’s name, but actually an acronym, which stands for “Life Is A Bitch.” I listened to this song and instantly wanted to write about it because of the message. I particularly enjoy videos like this that tell a story, especially ones that focus on this video’s topic, life and its downfalls. This video actually features two different narratives; one is about a young kid trying to get ahead by any means necessary, moving too fast and ending up with way too much stress. The other is about a girl putting too much faith in a love that’s only physical. I’m not going to spoil the endings–you have to watch the video. But I will say that visually this video is excellent. It was directed by Ben Hughes, who has also shot videos for Chief Keef. I look forward to hearing more from BlaccOut in the near future, but for now, download his latest project Dreams And Thoughts by clicking here: http://www.hotnewhiphop.com/n-a-dreamsandthoughts-mixtape.59667.html
