  3. Jrod says:

    the video is ok but the leading lady is not all that–n her outfit looks like she brought it at the bargain basement…tiny t shoulda been the leading lady or one of the other video vixen looking girls..the song is good tho…

    • no disrepect says:

      Agreed about the leading lady, There are so many girls on the island that have been in music video before and probably would have suited this video better. NOt hating the leading lady one bit. I just feel that there are a list of semi-professional that have been in videos in America…

    • its me says:

      I can tell Detrimental didnt really want to do this video cause this not really his style of shooting i know he just did it for the money i dont blame him

  4. john says:

    keep it up, and u will get better

  5. Moneyman says:

    dude song is hot and the chick is cute not the finest but she is a sweet one, big props to propa and the whole crew we need more videos and songs up to the standard like this to make it in this music industry so im proud of what he’s doing making his own movement one step at a time. cant wait to see more what he gots in store.

    • loveink says:

      dont you get tired of seeing a guy in a club with a girl… This could have panned out a little different. I dont know if the song suits the timing of the music market at this point of time. And why Moon Club! now that was a disaster. Its just something about it, that I cant put my finger on.

  6. Terry says:

    SMH Fail…

  7. yes i says:

    The girl was a regular looking chic which made her all the more beautiful. She had alot of flare n flavor about her. Her character looked kinda “thirsty” at the end, but keep up the work and let the creativity continue. To Propa…904 Duuuuuuvvaalll!! If you know, you know!

  8. Not a Propa Fan TOO!!! says:

    Im not gonna lie. That autotune crap needs to go. If you can really sing than i rate you, if you cant please dont try. When you go to do live perfomance, stage shows dont carry no autotunes so ya voice might crack my friend

  9. oh crumbs says:

    the video was aight….the concept is a lil overused tho. yes the girl was pretty but she looked kinda bored. there are so many different angles this could have been shot from (i’m sure the photog caught them) that woulda made this even better… but keep moving forward. things will only get better if you keep trying.

  10. US Observer says:

    Hmmm…sounds like an intervention. It’s a reflection on the director and the vision. I don’t sense there was a script…

  11. YYY says:

    Y do ppl think you can find love in a club? No wonder so many ppl are getting heart broken. Dey lookin in all the wrong places. With many thanks to BET and MTV Jams and etc. ppl really think they can find love in a club. So sad so Sad

    • What are you lookin at? says:

      I really dont see a love scene… I more or less see a chick who he thinks is super bad that he wants to get at. Great video. Remember haters are a sign of progress!

      • Notnice at all says:

        Why would anyone hate when dis guy cant even sing? the video is pretty cool though. Just needs to learn how to sing and he would be a true artist.

  12. t sm says:

    that music video/song is SUPER BAD . be original

  13. its all family says:

    Thats why the world is the way it is today. if you dont see a**** or T***** or PRETTY GIRL in the video its mug??? thats all his family that he used.

    TAKE A BREAK U BERMUDIANS..STOP HATING ON EACH OTHER MAN!!!!!

  14. nice says:

    This video is nice, I am not going to lie, but this is the best Bermuda music video I’m SEEN, AND STOP HATING ON MY GIRL, because SHE LOOKED GOOD; WE KNO SHE AINT A PROFESSIONAL SO RELAX, AND FOR ALL U HATERS WHICH ARE MOSTLY ALL BERMUDAIANS;[FACT!], GU=(GROW UP) IF NOT $%*@ OFF. WELL DONE TO EVERYONE.

  15. BK says:

    Job well done for your 1st video. This is most definitely the only Bermudian music video I have seen that actually looking professional. Keep up the good work. The song was cool too.

    Peace & Love
