I can’t believe everyone missed the most important thing from the ‘Run’ MV…
Look here. Rap Monster is shown with what I believe is a coke in his hand,and a lollipop in his mouth. Perfectly normal right? Well at first it is,but then it gets upsetting.
Rap Monster then walks out to the front of his house(?). He stands there and just looks at his cup of coke deep in thought with his lollipop in hand. We all think “Oh maybe he’s thinking about something real important.” No. He was thinking about whether or not he should put the lollipop in his coke. Well he does. He puts the lollipop in the coke,mixes it up, and drops it in (what in the flippidy doo dah day right?).
At this point we’re thinking “What is he going to do now? Is he going to drink it? Nooo Rap Mon don’t do it nooo.” To our horror he then drinks the lollipop/coke concoction and walks off somewhere. However,strangely,when he takes that drink of his coke he keeps it in his mouth, as you can see by looking at his puffed out cheeks. So we can assume now,that he either is swishing the drink in his mouth to get a better taste,or he’s regretting his decision to put a lollipop in coke. However,events get far more upsetting.
We then see him at a train yard walking quickly to his intended destination, while still drinking his weird drink. This is where it gets to be really upsetting. Are you ready? Warning this may be too much for some people,so please refrain from reading the rest of this if you are the faint of heart. As he’s walking he tosses the drink aside onto the tracks. First of all, he littered. Second of all,he didn’t even drink all of his coke. And lastly,and most importantly,he wasted a perfectly good lollipop.
If you want to hear my theory of what went down I’ll tell you now. Rap Monster figured out the drink was gross.However, he doesn’t like wasting, like it’s part of his philosophy on life. So, he tried his hardest to drink the rest of it,but he couldn’t take it anymore since the taste was too overwhelming. Therefore,he threw it aside and that was that. You can tell how devastated he is about what he has done in this next shot. The film crew made sure they showed the cup in the background as symbolism for the moral code he left behind due to his stupid mistake.
