Olamide in Science Student
Did Olamide, The King of Streets (as he is notably called) and his team do too much in the execution of his music for his latest song 'Science Student'?   



The video is 7 minutes 35 seconds long!   It can only be this long if it has good content. It was giving me 'American Horror Story' vibes. Too much horror is no bueno for me  But, with Kaffy as the costume and creative director, I would say she did a good job    although it wasn't 100 percent original and there was a lot going on. No disrespect to her work but it's just my observation.

One positive about the song is the message...



And this...


He must have said a lot of positive stuff in the song (I don't know because the song is in Yoruba). The written message is well appreciated . For that I say...


The people demonstrating and dancing in the colorful 'blinking room' just went by so fast. I felt a lot was happening all at once in that area until he took it outside. One or two groups could have been focused on...just saying.

The dance outside...


Up to 3 minutes dance routine...  for me, it was too much. I just wanted to see the 'shaku shaku' dance (which I love) and get it over with. At the end of the day,  it was a huge risk producing and directing this video and I give all those involved a huge props      It is somewhat paying off because the video has more than 2 million views on YouTube and it is increasing day by day.

Nice work!
