While appreciating Stormy's overall work, the reactor expresses disappointment with the music video's minimalist approach, especially given that it was filmed in Tokyo. He feels the opportunity to showcase Tokyo's unique aesthetic was missed, contrasting it with how Brazil was effectively utilized in another artist's video.
The reactor emphasizes that Stormy delivers 'bars of life' ('بارز ديال لايفز'), offering a sense of reality and authenticity. He connects Stormy's lyrics about being 'buried in a cafe' to metaphors of hard work and digging for diamonds, symbolizing the effort required to succeed.
Discussion turns to a clever lyric about a 'belt rotating and a buckle appearing,' which the reactor interprets as Stormy reaching a high level of success and recognition. He jokingly suggests Stormy's 'buckle' has appeared, signifying his arrival.
The reactor expresses a long-held desire for stylistic diversity in Moroccan music, particularly the integration of 'واي واي' (a musical style) with rap or R&B. He advocates for more R&B artists to be recognized and for a broader range of musical genres beyond just rap.
Concluding the reaction, the reviewer declares that Stormy's work, including the song "Hafyan," is a 'classic.' He asserts that Stormy has achieved a timeless quality in his music, distinguishing him from other artists who may lack such impactful and enduring tracks.
The video starts by highlighting Stormy's collaboration with Spotify and a photoshoot with Rolling Stone, emphasizing the importance of strong promotional work for an album with 14-16 tracks.
The reactor comments on the visual quality of the music video, noting a concept that initially seemed to be low-quality but then improved. He appreciates the clear shots of Stormy's face.
The reactor praises Stormy's lyrics, which acknowledge his journey from humble beginnings ('حافي') to financial success. He appreciates artists who are honest about their past struggles and current achievements, unlike those who pretend to remain in a lower social status despite making money.
A significant point of discussion is Stormy's lyric denying any 'assistance' in his rise. The reactor strongly disagrees, arguing that even legends like Michael Jackson had assistance (Quincy Jones, managers, family). He posits that everyone receives some form of help or push to succeed, drawing a humorous analogy to his own birth as an 'assist'.
