...camera while dropping self-absorbed rhymes. Hardly a good visual marriage for the catchy, clubby beat provided by A-Trak, who also makes an appearance. Still, director Fleischer provides keen originality to match Kid Sister’s potential club hit. Inspired by the art of fingernail design, the video features numerous leg-like fingers artistically break dancing on the salon’s tables. These dancing digits show off the colorful nail designs, which shine with an intensity that Kid Sister hopes to one day match. They also supply some necessary choreography in an otherwise static video. Despite...
