...salivate. “I Luv It” is almost enough to send me to Atlanta and start selling crack. The video opens with the star cruising around the streets of the ATL in his Lambo, blowing out clouds of thick smoke. Jeezy and Angel are found in pool halls, outside graffitied, dilapidated buildings, at a warehouse concert, and even playing cee-low. Barbershops and prisons are subtly snuck in, making the total number of scenes somewhere above a dozen. Everything comes up roses for Jeezy: despite his busy lifestyle, his khakis remain neatly creased. Whenever he drops...
