Her outfit is still two-dimensional—no more than a couple of rough sketches—but she is unconcerned.

While the video’s style takes pains to portray the rough underbelly of rap that no longer exists for some of its biggest stars, T.I. seems uncomfortable in a role he once played perfectly. Though he can swing a chain imposingly, threaten the camera with a bat, and mimic pulling out a gun, the actions seem unnatural and unthreatening. The company T.I. keeps...
