Seems like Cash Money took an awfully long time to put this out.
The fact is the video is makes up for it. Borrowing the theme from the movie Inception was a nice touch.
Cory Gunz get's his first real taste of major corporation exposure, and as a whole this looks like they spent a few dollars on it.
So yeah, dope song and vid, check it below.

Already making big moves in the game, Fred The Godson plans on holding onto his spot for a while.
Fred The G spoke with Swagg DVD about the amount of love he's been getting from his peers and the hard work he's putting in to earn it.
"Saturday night I could be doing a lot of things, but you see where I'm at [in the studio]. You got a lot of people that want me now because of the work ethic as far as the lyrics, the videos and the freestyles. It's just everything to do with hard work. You gotta want to do it. Some people wanna do it halfway, if you take it halfway I don't think this game is for you," he said.
Fred has also gotten big co-signs from Jay-Z, Beanie Sigel and Rakim. He talks about what that feels like.
"That's motivation enough to keep going, these are rappers I look up to," Fred says. "Jay is one of the best ever. Beans I always looked at as one of my favorites and I would never guess in like a week turnaround, me tearing down a showcase, couple of days later I'd be in front of him rapping and he'd be blown away by it and the rest is history."
Being young in the game, Fred still hasn't had the chance to work with all of the producers and rapper's he would like to. He names the top 5 in each category he'd like to link up with.
"Producers that I would like to work with I would say definitely Just Blaze, Dr Dre, DJ Khalil's a beast and Teddy Riley, I need one of them old school Guy joints," Fred said. "Top rappers off the top, Big Pun and Biggie are my favorites, but their untimely demise messed everything up so I wouldn't even put them at the top 5. I'm just gonna say I wish, rest in peace. But the top 5 rappers that I'd love that I think is crazy is Jay, of course 50 [Cent], Nas, Eminem and my boy Jadakiss."
Peep the rest of interview as Fred talks about his battles with asthma, kidney problems and diabetes and a lot more.

Ever since I saw her rapping Nicki Minaj's verse from Robin Thicke's song "Shakin It For Daddy", I've been checking for Michelle Trachtenberg.
The beautiful actress covers the March 2011 Maxim.
She describes the theme of the shoot as "slightly fetishy, very old Hollywood glam pin-up."
The 25-year old 'Gossip Girl' star talks about what it was like to shoot for Maxim in the accompanying interview,
How does it feel to be on the cover of Maxim?: ‘Oh, goodness. It’s exciting. I know that everyone at my high school who used to torture me and bully me is going to get a copy of it, so I’m thrilled. That’s going to be really exciting.’
So revenge is a dish best served naked?: [Laughs] ‘I’m not naked. Shame on you. But I was rather flat- chested in high school, so I was picked on all the time. I think I’ve made up for it. Maybe a bit late, but they’re here now.’
So it’s time to unleash them on the world: ‘Just a bit. Just to tease. I was actually really, really happy with the shoot. There was an element of sexiness but still an element of mystery. I don’t want to show you too much, because, you know, that’s for me in the bedroom.’

The highly anticipated 2011 XXL Freshman cover has leaked a month early.
Is there anything that isn't jacked before it's due date anymore? Not that I'm complaining all that loudly, because I wanted to see for sure if Cam'ron would stick true to his word and not Vado pass over XXL for The Source, which he did.
Plus it's always fun to speculate who will be the 1st to blow big from the list.
So the list is Clockwise from left: Diggy Simmons, Kendrick Lamar, Meek Mill, Big K.R.I.T., CyHi Da Prynce, Lil Twist, Yelawolf, Fred The Godson, Mac Miller, YG and Lil B.
What do you think? Anyone make the list that surprised you? And I wonder who snuck in the back door because of Vado's absence.
