Rappers Kanye West and Jay-Z desecrate Maybach in new 'Otis' music [video]

Rappers destroy a Maybach just for the hell of it in a video for the song Otis

Rappers like flashy, expensive cars and sometimes they even enjoy showing those pricey items off in an neverending effort to prove their wealth. But for tier 1 rappers Kanye West and Jay-Z, that kind of poseur activity is a bit contrived.

So, in an effort to be shocking and stay controversial Kanye and Jay-Z take a torch and sawzall wielding team of body men to this $300,000 Maybach for their latest music video "Otis", a tribute to Otis Redding.

The result is this flame spewing abomination suited for a post-apocalyptic action film such as Mad Max. Even better, try to picture a high society debutante turned into a heroine addict.

On second thought, this car is actually pretty cool!

What a car cruelty, somebody call Russel Ingall, the enforcer to stop somebody else copying with much rarer car. If they want to show how wealthy they are, why don't they employee people to make it into landaulet version and packed it with their bling diamond attached into the roof and super rarer dinosaurs leather (I wonder it or change it with shark or whale skin)- at least I will only laugh for them.

Annoying sample, weak rhymes, dumb lyrics. Whoever said these two can rap should youtube Nas, Mos Def, Del the funky homosapien.

Some ridiculous arguments really. Gotta figure the car can be written off as a business expense. Not to mention another day of shooting with a crew, another location, another set would have cost at the very least as much as a maybach on autotrader with high miles anyways. Now if the video showed them rolling it off the dealer lot with a sticker on the window that would be a slightly different story. Even then, this would only be a ding in their collective fleet.

It saddens me that two men who came from poverty have now reached the point that they can destroy a Luxury car for entertainment, and people think that's cool. They didn't do it for Otis Redding... nothing that they said in that song did anything to honor his name, in fact they kicked dirt on it! Not all people who rap are like them, I want everyone to know that, and the fact that they're are standing in front of an American Flag doing it! Then wonder why other countries hate Americans. This video is TRASH! Please WCF next time you have a video with rappers in it doing this BS... Don't even post it, cause we don't wanna see this crap.

Tsk tsk... This sorta stuff made me stop listening to rap ages ago. Am in Africa and it saddens me to watch such stupid extravagance when people are dying of hunger elsewhere.

Kanye is a joke and everybody knows it, he's a gayfish, rap videos are lame, but at the end of they day they can probably sell the Bach for more than they paid after it was in this video.

Look at these fakers, first they show a current Maybach (facelifted version), later it's an older one...so all in all, they didn't have the nuts or the money to destroy a new maybach lol

Im an avid music fan (all types) so I watched the video premiere... The hairs stood up on my neck during the intro when they walked so casually toward the bach with torches and sawz in hand. An abomination... The glass roof by itself was worth $10K...

The headline should read: Look what happens when you give to much money to degenerates. I hope the class envy folks take note that this is meant to be an in your face statement to the lower and middle class.

HA! I specifically came to this site to see if there was gonna be any mention of the Maybach in the Otis video. Along with the rappers suck, ghetto monkey BS talk the was gonna ensue. Sure it hurt watching them cut up a perfectly good Maybach. But if you watch closely you'll notice that those are 2 totally different Maybachs. The one in the beginning shot is brand new with the new style grille while the one they cut up is a older one. Plus the car is gonna be auctioned off and the proceeds are going to help the people affected by the east African drought. So hush.
