Timing is a skill 21 Savage is apparently still working on mastering.
Equipped with a plot that personifies an elaborate bank robbery in a metropolitan financial sector, the Slaughter Gang bossman delivered the video for “Brand New Draco” Wednesday (July 14). The visual also features cameos from DJ Khaled, Bow Wow, Shaq and more, who all give short testimonials promoting 21 Savage and Metro Boomin’s brand new $DRCO stock.
Though the LEFF-directed visual for “Brand New Draco” tones down the gun-totting camera flexing inherent to 21 Savage’s music videos, the lyrics still heavily rely on the type of “Stick Talk” rap he has become known for.
“Big Slaughter, nigga, big dagger in my face (Straight up)/Ski mask, fuck a camera, gun him down on tape (On God),” 21 raps on the Savage Mode II track.
The mini-movie could have certainly arrived during a better time frame, as 21 was put in the blender on Twitter days ago after issuing an ill-received call-to-action to stop the violence.
“I wish all this violence would stop it seems like it’s more hate than love in the universe right now,” 21 Savage plead in the tweet on July 12th.
Users seemed to disregard his message altogether and instead, replied to 21’s tweet with some of his most violent posts and bars to demonstrate how hypocritical his request was. One individual actually dug up a throwback video of 21 Savage advocating for the exact opposite of what his tweet was calling for.
“Fuck all of that crying on Instagram,” 21 started off in the clip. “Crying on Twitter, to make a long-ass, deep-ass post. Pick up the guns and start shooting at these pussy ass police.”
21 Savage Demands An End To Street Violence But Twitter Calls Him A Hypocrite
It’s clear that 21 Savage has some work to do with regards to his non-violent activism work, however, he has made strides in other positive areas that are worth noting, also.
Last year, he announced a free financial literacy program called “Bank Account At Home” which provided elementary, middle and high School students with the opportunity to learn the basic concepts of money management, how to plan their financial future and explore different lessons around budgeting and entrepreneurship.

Someone is shocked when old crumpet mouth cosplay gangster Crip is being a hypocrite? He’s basically been doing the Naruto run his whole career. West Side Hogwarts!
Naruto running through Hogwarts is crazy! LMAO
Wtf is a draco anyways ? I thought it was solja boys new nick name ? Thats the first time I really heard the word used. All these stupid new gen z words.
It’s a shitty “assault weapon” style pistol. Very inaccurate. Basically a baby AK. The type of things this duck it aims at a car full of people, doesn’t hit anyone in the car, but hits an innocent baby 3 black away in the forehead with. LOL. Then when arrested, it’s whitey’s fault. Bringing up a Draco means you don’t know shit about guns or how to shoot.
Your an idiot if I don’t know what a draco is, and if you thought is was a rappers name, you’re clearly not a fan of hip-hop and don’t listen to anything new these days…your falling behind my boy. Sounds like you’re getting old…try going on a run and rethink your life, cause anything that gots to Draco, you should not be apart of…hahaha
Our rappers and actors are the same people.
