Narrative of Video
In the video Andre 3000 is seen trying to fix up a house, a car, etc. when stormy weather hits and everything goes wrong. This is paralleled by the music which is an apology to the baby mamma’s mama. Basically, he is stating he never had a bad intent, he only wants the best for her daughter, but that he couldn’t predict where the relationship eventually went.
How the Music and Video Relate
The relate very well because the metaphors seem quite fitting. The stormy weather interrupts his process with making repairs to his the house and car and the exact same seemed to happen in his relationship.
Review
This video really compliments the music and it is easy to understand the connection, even without knowing a history. The use of so many metaphors really made it sink in. During a time when there is such a controversy about dads, moms, child support, etc. this video seems quite fitting. And from what I have read it is an apology aimed at the real mother of his ex.
