Joey Bada$$ Gets Gunned Down by the NYPD in the "Like Me" Video

Joey Bada$$ has shared the video for “Like Me” (ft. BJ the Chicago Kid), a track from his recent B4.DA.$$. In the politically-minded clip, which references the deaths of Mike Brown and Trayvon Martin, Joey is confronted and eventually gunned down unarmed by the NYPD.

“In the video, the hot-headed guy, he gets killed by the police with a gun in his hand,” Joey told Mother Jones. “And me, the cool guy, who is away from all the violence, I still end up being mixed in the loop—just being a victim because of my surroundings or where I’m from.” Watch it below via Mother Jones.
