Clipse ft Kendrick Lamar 'Chains & Whips' by Gabriel Moses

Rob Ulitski - 22nd July 2025

Gabriel Moses makes another bold statement with a thought-provoking array of imagery in his video for returing rappers Clipse.

The video for Chains & Whips unfolds through a stripped-back yet disorienting aesthetic, where each frame subtly distorts, as if reality itself were bending. Faces merge with structures, bodies dissolve into space - a visual metaphor for the fractured experience of Black American identity. These slow, shifting images speak to a culture shaped by tension, resilience, and redefinition. 

Abstract yet tangible, the aesthetic leans into an almost uncanny vibe, with stretched ratios and extreme closeups to disorient but also engage with viewers. A standout visual, with a palpable, rousing energy that mirrors the journey of the track.
