Young Moe — Take a Breath (DC1135, 2012)
Moe emphasized at a show on Sunday night that he himself had gotten to write the treatment for this video and that he had made it a point to add opportunities for clear shots of fronts and backs and added, loudly while Trel stood nearby, “… AND IT’S ALL ABOUT ME FUCKIN TREL’S GIRL”. And lo, there is ass.
The took-his-girl angle normally follows the Hit ‘Em Up ethos, the fuck you via proxy, but this track is more sinister: it’s the warm shoulder, the profession of greener pastures, a song for her that he’s meant to overhear, over a beat that’s less aggressive (or at least more likely to get laid to than David Banner), putting it closer to that special, gently predatory turf filled with panty drops and hushed inhibitions ruled over by the sovereign lords Terius Nash and Robert Kelly. A more effective route to actually stealing your girl I imagine.
