Every so often Hip Hop delivers a video that you have to stop whatever you’re doing just to take in the message and visuals and that’s exactly what the Rik Cordero video for The Roots “The Fire” does.
“The Fire” chronicles a post-apocalyptic death march set in 1945 during the final stages of World War II in Europe. After a cataclysmic event renders the war futile, a paramilitary splinter group — led by a Kurtz-like figure known as The Commodore — forces the transfer of young men who will be used as labor… and food. The last survivor of the march receives a mysterious White Box which holds the key to survival. – Rik
