The up-and-coming Atlanta-based “hipster” rapper Donnis, one of the three best MCs in this year’s XXL Freshman group (along with J. Cole and Big Sean, FYI), recently released a video for his track “Gone” (after the jump). Aside from being a fine, unexpectedly catchy and often very funny club track, the video follows the same formula that Ke$ha’s “Tik Tok” took up, possibly inspired by last year’s bromance hit The Hangover, opening as characters wake up after a big night out, and proceed to piece the night before back together. Is this a random coincidence, or the next narrative trend in music videos? Can anyone think of other examples of this formula?
