Music Video: DJ Bless - Black Tar Heroin (feat. Jim Snooka & Sutter Kain) (video may not be safe for work, if your boss frowns upon intravenous drug use)
The first time I watched this video, I have to admit I wasn't entirely sure whether the intent was to glorify the use of heroin. With a delivery that seems to have been inspired by Lil Fame and Billy Danze, Jim Snooka raps from the perspective of black tar heroin, almost boasting about the effects of the drug. It's the kind of song that used to have parents afraid of rap, before rap became the soundtrack to Gap and Burger King commercials.
Alternating between segments of a rather sobering documentary on heroin users (the documentary is Black Tar Heroin, if I'm not mistaken) and shots from a Hype Williams-style high energy video (shot by DJ Bless), I'd imagine this is a fair approximation of the highs and lows that a heroin addict goes through between hits.
