Pretty funny that, in 2013, this needs to be a poll at all.
As rap videos with a sense of place go, this is not exactly your standard-issue slow-speed cruise around South Central. Nah. This is Minneapolis, y’all. We keep it real with parks and schools and cameos by huggable Twins mascot TC Bear. Y.N.RichKids’ “My Bike” covers an impressive portion of the city, from the crew’s home turf on the North Side, down to Minnehaha Falls, in the far southeast corner of town, and to the Mall of America, way out in the ’burbs. By my back-of-the-envelope math, if they actually pedaled the route we see in the video, they’d cover 50 miles.
I asked Doug Mack to explain for CNTraveler.com the many Minnie locations in this new rap video.
