ATLANTA – Migos dropped the new video for “T-Shirt,” directed by the rap trio’s own Quavo.
For those who don’t know , “work” refers to drugs which his momma told him not sell drug. “Seventeen five” is a reference to cocaine prices. Buying a kilo for the low price of $17,500 implies that he is high up in the drug game. “Same color t-shirt” draws a connection between pure white cocaine and the white t-shirts that are popular with drug dealers.
‘ And you know I keep work
Seventeen five, same color t-shirt ‘
Originaly from ‘Im da man’ from diseased rapper Shawty Lo, Young jeezy was also refered himself as” Mr 17-5″ due to his legit connections with the BMF family.
” Mr 17-5, you n***as know the name ” from J.E.E.Z.Y By Young Jeezy.
Even chance the rapper is playing a major part in the virality of the video. Early yesterday he tweeted his enthousiasm around the visual quality of the production. that video is #oscarworthyneeds and also asked Quavo to direct a music video for one of his songs. Read the tweets below.
