Juice WRLD’s Video For Psychedelic Emo Rap Classic ‘Lucid Dreams’ Crosses 1 Billion Views on YouTube
Juice WRLD's video for the 2018 psychedelic emo rap classic 'Lucid Dreams' has crossed one billion views on YouTube.
The video service announced the news on Wednesday (August 7), welcoming the rapper born Jarad Anthony Higgins into the club; Juice WRLD died on Dec. 8, 2019 at age 21 of accidental oxycodone and codeine intoxication. The trippy clip directed by Lyrical Lemonade founder Cole Bennett is as hazy as the interpolation that undergirds the melody, Sting’s 1993 ballad “Shape of My Heart.” It finds Juice trapped in a hole in the floor as he sedately sing/raps, “I still see your shadows in my room/ Can’t take back the love that I gave you/ It’s to the point where I love and I hate you/ And I cannot change you, so I must replace you/ Easier said than done/ I thought you were the one.” The hazy visual then finds Juice smoking and singing the song while sitting on steps as a digital skull floats across the screen and the word “dead” flashes in red and a fiery door opens and closes amid images of the MC and a woman in corpse-like makeup.
