It's soccer time! T.I. sure doesn't waste any time to debuted the stylish music video for "No Mediocre," featuring Iggy Azalea, only one day after releasing the single itself as he also wanted the Brazilian-themed video to premiere in the midst of the World Cup. The rappers new collaboration is far from mediocre. The Atlanta rapper enlisted his Australian protégée for his DJ Mustard-produced single "No Mediocre," the second cut off of his upcoming ninth album "Paperwork: The Motion Picture," which is due out in September.
The banger has T.I. rapping about his disdain for "mediocre" women, and praising "bad bitches" who do their hair and have a "pretty face." Breakout star Azalea joins the single, rhyming, "Want a billboard bitch stop running in place/ Heels on me saying gimme six inches of space/ Courtside while designer frames cover my face/ Now everybody in the game wanna get 'em a taste." T.I. references Brazil in the lyrics to "No Mediocre," and decided to shoot the song's accompanying video in the country. The X-directed clip shows the "Live Your Life" performer surrounded by a bevy of exotic beauties bump and grind for his approval before Azalea enters the shot, rapping and twerking.
T.I. lets us know right away that he's interested in "bad bitches only," thank you very much. That's probably why Featured Bombshell is introduced in the first shots. The King begins his day in the Tavares Bastos favela and makes his way through the village, playing a quick game of soccer before heading to his casa, where some sexy mamacitas await him. As he dances down the back alleys of Rio de Janeiro in his black tee and cargo pants, he mingles with some more Brazilian beauties while rapping about his quest to find a woman who meets his high physical standards.
He meets up with his 24-year-old "Fancy" protégée, who first appears strutting around favelas like she owns the place, which she pretty much does in this Alejandra Huerta-styled outfit, and hypnotizes the fellas as she dances alongside T.I. at an outdoor party. Luckily, Azalea swoops in with her usual confident bad-assery, and adds at least one not wholly irredeemable verse to the song. While not exactly easing up on the impossible physical standards set by the media for women, Azalea at least tells T.I. to actually put a little work into achieving his wants and "stop running in place," if he's going to have such an intricate list of demands. Take it to Rio with Hustle Gang.
