Video: Ab-Soul – GOTTA RAP

Ab-Soul has paid homage to Snoop Dogg in his brand new music video for the single “Gotta Rap.”

Ab-Soul released the video for “Gotta Rap”. At the beginning of the video, Ab-Soul is rocking corn-rows, dark shades, a bulletproof vest, and The Marathon clothing apparel. Ab-Soul is also on top of a building, rapping his heart out, much like Snoop Dogg did in the 1993 video for “Who Am I (What’s My Name)?”

Later in the video, Ab-Soul could be seen spitting in an unknown Los Angeles neighbourhood while the men around him partake in some of the hood’s favourite past-times.

“I like to call myself the God of rap/But really I just gotta rap/This a Dior doobie/On the head of your cutie, moon signs when you call her back/Do not disturb/We looking for the smoke, not who got the herb/I’m Top Dawg, you a copycat/I’ma give this beat a heart attack.”

“Gotta Rap” is from his December 2022 project Herbet, which is also his first name. Herbert is the follow-up to his 2016 offering Do What Thou Wilt. The LP features guest appearances from Big Sean, Russ, Joey Bada$$, Jhené Aiko, SiR, Punch, Zacari, Fre$h, Ambré, ALEMEDA, and Lance Skiiiwalker.
