Nas Turns On The Classy For The Visuals For “The Don” (Video Breakdown) Posted by Danielle Harling on 04/30/12 | Filed under Refined Video Picks, Video Breakdown, Nas

It doesn't get much classier than riding around the streets of Manhattan in a classic Rolls Royce and Nas does just that in his "The Don" video. There's also lots of red wine sipping, rooftop chilling, and other activities worthy of a Don And you've also got some really dope visuals of New York City as well.



0:05 – Wait a minute, is this the intro to “Mob Wives?”

0:24 – It doesn’t get any more Hip-Hop than mimosas and pink blazers.

0:27 – And personal chefs…

0:28 – There aren’t many things cooler than chillin’ in a restaurant before it opens. Being surrounded by chairs that are still placed on tabletops just screams “I’m a G.”

0:59 – Coming soon to an H&M near you…Nas “The Don” rings. Just watch…

1:12 – Those plaids pants are awful. You can’t even sugarcoat that one, just awful.

1:17 – And just like that this has now become Kanye West’s “Can’t Tell Me Nothing” video. 1 in 5 music videos falls victim to this.

1:26 – Warning: Long, flowing scarfs and fires do not mix too well.

1:35 – The scenery in this video is on point, a very nice touch.

1:43 – So who let the 12-year-old into the club?

2:08 – Alright, let’s see what they have prepared for the best part of the song…

2:14 – Hip-Hoppy, black and white concert footage? I suppose that’ll work.

2:26 – Why does Nas’ concert look like it’s full of Odd Future members, the A$AP mob, and "Basketball Wives?"
