The new video from MC FÜBB begins with “My Dick Smells Like Money” (produced by Fresh Kils) then switches to “Fuck Y’all” (Bix). Directed by Neil Austen.
In a strange turn of events, Toronto hip hop artist MC FÜBB has released a video entitled, “My Dick Smells Like Money,” which signifies a dramatic thematic shift from his previous releases. An artist usually known for his conscious, self-reflective lyrics, “My Dick Smells Like Money” doesn’t seem to fit conceptually with the videos and tracks that FÜBB has been releasing in anticipation of his upcoming EP, “the poet.” Has he lost his creative edge? Is he selling out? Watch the video and judge for yourself.
