The visuals for Boston rapper Michael Christmas‘ “Daily” are at once inviting and funny and unnervingly seedy. Michael‘s non-chalant, every-day delivery and lyrical style are highlighted by the camera’s continuous jump-cuts from image to odd image. As Michael narrates his sluggish day, we watch it unfold: he wakes up, masturbates, feels like Brendan Frasier, falls back asleep, plasters his face to the air conditioner, plasters it to the TV, tries to smoke in the shower, and then leaves home to leer at passing girls and eat wings with friends. With a lyrical style as (intentionally) ordinary as Christmas‘ on “Daily,” it was important that three things be on point: the beat–a sleepy, dark bass wobble–the rapper’s comedic chops–perfect timing and great sense of how to use his body– and the video. All the elements lined up, and “Daily” is an extremely entertaining two-and-a-half minutes. Hats off to director Goodwin, too.
