If this track has not solidified all of the haters/doubters’ faith in Kanye West as a global music influencer on a rather unparalleled level, then I don’t know what else to say really. Hopefully y’all know the story – Panda by Desiigner (with two i’s) was featured as a sample on The Life of Pablo (Pt 2). Everyone thought it was Future for about five minutes – understandably so, but when the world got a hold of the full edit of the track, Panda – everything changed. It became a global number one, a club and cult smash and now has a video with a cameo of the one and only Mr West, because duh he’s like “I made this happen”. Anyway, here is the video with “creative” by Kanye West and Paul Geusebroek.
Desiigner’s performance in the video is by far the highlight – with facial expressions that are unique but also set the tone for the song perfectly. You can watch the video on TIDAL or Pitchfork, annoying, but yeah.
