After the great reception we received with our last KSI Lighter music video review we thought we’d bring you another one with our KSI Patience music video review.
Similar to the first review we did we’ll be throwing in some thoughts on the track as well as the video but let me first start by just getting this out of the way.
What the hell is that music video all about?
A narrative that has absolutely nothing to do with the song as the location in which the music video takes place is some random graveyard.
The whole song is called patience and I guess dead people certainly have enough patience to last them a lifetime, or death time in this case.
After Polo G makes a brief appearance, YUNGBLUD rises up out of the ground and what follows is every single line delivered out of sync with the video itself.
Granted the bloke has just come out of the ground and is a bit rusty after his resurrection but the video as a whole wreaks of low budget and the direction is absolutely all over the place.
I love YUNGBLUD, I think he’s got a great personality and the work with MGK on reviving the golden 90’s pop-punk genre is sublime but as one of the stand out names on this track, he surprisingly takes centre stage over KSI when it’s KSI’s own song.
This is certainly a YUNGBLUD song featuring KSI and Polo G rather than a KSI song.
KSI drops his autotuned vocals over this Playstation 2 CGI infused music video and then vanishes leaving YUNGBLUD to continue.
In a YouTube video posted a few days ago, KSI admitted that he didn’t really understand the music video either but surely there must be some creative control here when it comes to music video direction.
The video completely alienates the song and feels entirely disjointed with a video that belongs to a different type of song entirely.
The autotune on this track is insane, YUNGBLUD can sing and really doesn’t need it but I have to be honest here, KSI can’t sing and he really DOES need it.
He’s currently having singing lessons and fair play to him for learning a new skill but he’s still learning and crafting his bars when it comes to rap so for me he’s stretching himself a little thin trying to juggle both at once.
Stick to one, master it, learn it, improve on it and then work on something else.
But with that said he’s still growing as an artist, chopping and changing genres is a bold move and I have to give him credit for that.
I feel as though both the singing and rapping are a work in progress but hats off for knowing what will sell, what people will listen to and what makes a good song as Patience is a banger.
Yes it’s autotuned and all that jazz but its hook is catchy and that’s a staple point of recently released KSI songs.
If you have a catchy hook you can throw as much rubbish as you want in those verses because it’s the chorus that everyone will be singing along to.
Really Love, Lighter and now Patience are three perfect examples of the hook taking centre stage and carrying the song and it works.
Check out the insane video below if you dare but I’d probably just minimise it and listen to a decent song playing in the background as you go about your day.
