Chief Keef – Macaroni Time (Preview)

Just like what he did before releasing the "Where He Get It" video, A Zae Production lets loose a preview of Chief Keef's next music video "Macaroni Time." If the time lapse between his last preview and full video is any indication of how long we'll have to wait, expect the video for Sosa's new song to be released in about 5 days. From the snippet of the song, it appears Keef has delved into autotune. Do you think that's a good look for him?

UPDATE: You can check out the lyrics to the track now down below

LYRICS

My mama was raised in an era when/Clean water was only served to the fairer skin
Doing clothes you would have thought I had help/But they wouldn’t be satisfied unless I picked the cotton myself
You see its broke n—a racism/That’s that don’t touch anything in the store
And there’s rich n—a racism/That’s that come here please buy more
What you want a Bentley, fur coat and diamond chain?/All you blacks want all the same things
Used to only be n—as /Now everybody play me
Spending everything on that Alexander Wang/New Slaves

[Hook]
You see it’s leaders and it’s followers/But I’d rather be a dick than a swallower
You see it’s leaders and it’s followers/But I’d rather be a dick than a swallower

[Verse 2]
I throw these Maybach keys/I wear my heart on my sleeve
I know that we the new slaves/I see the blood on the leaves
I see the blood on the leaves/I see the blood on the leaves
I know that we the new slaves/I see the blood on the leaves
They throwing hate at me/Want me to stay at ease
Fuck you and your corporation/Y’all n—as can’t control me
I know that we the new slaves/I know that we the new slaves
I’m about to wild the fuck out/I’m going Bobby Boucher
I know that pussy ain’t free/You n—as pussy, ain’t me
Y’all throwing contracts at me/You know that n—as can’t read
Throw him some Maybach keys/Fuck it, c’est la vie
I know that we the new slaves/Y’all n—as can’t fuck with me
Y’all n—as can’t fuck with Ye/Y’all n—as can’t fuck with Ye
I move my family out the country /So you can’t see where I stay
So go and grab the reporters/So I can smash their recorders
Yeah they confuse us with bullshit/Like the New World Order
Meanwhile the DEA/Teamed up with the CCA
They tryna lock n—as up/They tryna make new slaves
See that’s that private-owned prison/Get your piece today
They prolly all in the Hamptons/Braggin’ ’bout they maid
Fuck you and your Hampton house/I’ll fuck your Hampton spouse
Came on her Hampton blouse/And in her Hampton mouth
Y’all ’bout to turn shit up/I’m ’bout to tear shit down
I’m ’bout to air shit out/Now what the fuck they gon’ say now?

Is that the Air Jordan III ’88 on the feet of Ludacris? There’s unfortunately no telling since all we’ve got are frontal shots, but we’d like to think that Luda got his hands on that “Nike Air” equipped sneaker. The rapper/actor is shown here at a media event from Fast & Furious 6 (Yes, they made six of those movies). Continue reading to see the whole gallery of shots on Ludacris bringing out this crispy pair of the Air Jordan III “White/Cement” and make sure you give us your thoughts in the comments on the always-controversial inclusion of the hang-tag on his footwear.
