About 20 years after the release of 50 Cent’s “How to Rob”, Baltimore rapper Bandhunta Izzy offers a modern flip with an accompanying visual. In the video we see Izzy listening to the original song before falling asleep on his hotel bed. Everything that follows is presumably a dream and similar to the source material, runs through a variety of scenarios that toe the line between tongue in cheek and grim sincerity. The Mad Rapper who gave the intro to the original, provides new commentary for Izzy as well. There are plenty of bars to highlight including but not limited to — “I was gonna rob Lil Uzi with a big pump/I was gonna rob Lil Pump with a big uzi,” and “Pressing DaBaby but he tried to fight back.” Do yourself a favor and watch the full video above.
