If you had $100,lot lizzard sex videos000 to shoot a music video but the star never showed up, what would you do?
Pomp&Clout director Ryan Staake faced this dilemma on a shoot for rapper Young Thug's song "Wyclef Jean." But, Young Thug never actually stepped foot on set.
Rather than scrape together footage to create a makeshift video, Staake cleverly turned the whole situation on its head—and the result is a highly entertaining, meta-masterpiece of a music video.

Police presence on the shoot, changes in creative direction or behind-the-scenes glimpses at post-production edits are spelled out in the video—all to the tune of Thug's "Wyclef Jean."

It is highly suspicious that a label would allow such an irrelevant video to drop with the "official" tag, but that doesn't make the video any less enjoyable.
"On the way home I wondered if Young Thug would've liked the shoot we put together for him," the video reads near the end.
"But I guess none of that matters now. In fact, maybe that's the moral of this story: None of this matters....but you're still watching."
And we'll probably watch again and again.
