Key Takeaways:<\/strong><\/p>\n A$AP Rocky just dropped the \u201cdumbest video of the [f**kin\u2019] year,\u201d in his own words. On Monday (Jan. 12), the Harlem rapper shared the second single leading up to Don\u2019t Be Dumb<\/a><\/em>, \u201cHelicopter$,\u201d along with an accompanying visual.<\/p>\n The Dan Streit\u2013directed clip, largely animated in the style of a 2000s video game, opens with Rocky walking past a fleet of helicopters. Eventually, he and his crew manage to get their hands on one and reign terror on the city. Throughout the music video, there are naked people packaging Don\u2019t Be Dumb<\/em> vinyls, Rocky doing pull ups on a church, and just scene after scene of pure chaos.<\/p>\n \u201cI ride around in the all-pink Merc\u0435des, the p**sy whip \/ Like Killa Cam, my braids lookin’ lik\u0435 I could be Jim,\u201d Rocky raps in reference to Cam\u2019ron and Jim Jones, who coincidentally traded shots with each other<\/a> last week. In the second verse, the father of three seemingly nods to Nike and Adidas, along with his partnership with PUMA: \u201cWhen tennis shoes had the check or three stripes on the side \/ Way before PUMA cut the check, yeah.\u201d<\/p>\n The video culminates in CGI Rocky hanging from a helicopter \u2014 \u201clike Spider-Man,\u201d as he says \u2014 before ultimately crashing to the ground. Much like some of the other visuals leading up to Don\u2019t Be Dumb<\/em>, everything in \u201cHelicopter$\u201d is either really silly or surreal. Take a look below.<\/p>\n Don\u2019t Be Dumb<\/em> is set to arrive on Friday (Jan. 16) with 15 tracks, plus two bonus records. Aside from \u201cHelicopter$,\u201d the only other confirmed single is last week\u2019s \u201cPunk Rocky<\/a>,\u201d which starred the lovely Winona Ryder. Fans will just have to wait and see if the J. Cole-assisted \u201cRuby Rosary\u201d or \u201cpray4dagang\u201d make the final cut.<\/p>\n\n
