Beenie Man Drops Visuals For ‘Do You Want To Be That Guy’ With Funny Verzuz Reenactment
The King of the Dancehall Beenie Man has dropped the video to his latest single and Verzuz catchphrase titled, Do You Want To Be That Guy?
The song is a rehashing of the record-breaking online VERZUZ battle between the Warlord Bounty Killer and Beenie Man. The video released on Saturday, June 27 on Beenie Man’s YouTube Channel, has acquired over 24 thousand views since its release.
The title of the song was inspired by an appearance by two (2) members of The Jamaica Constabulary Force during the battle who Beenie assumed were there to enforce The Quarantine Act and end the battle which was being watched live by almost 500,000 viewers from around the world.
They were asked by The King himself, “Do you really wanna be that guy?” Beenie sings:
“right there in front the world’s eyes
Here comes these two police guys
Dem intention never dat wise
Suh mi ask do you wanna be that guy?”
The video also features a reenactment of the viral battle between the two veteran DJs. In these segments of the videos, the most impactful, meme-worthy, and funny scenes from the battle were performed, including Beenie Man and Bounty’s dance moves, which generated and inspired thousands of memes.
Fans who commented called the reenactment “priceless” and had them laughing off their posteriors. “The reenactment is priceless #onpoint,” said one fan.
“The reenactment part dem kill mii,” added another.
Though the two had their differences and many feuds over the years, but any that lingered were put aside to create a historical moment in Dancehall music. Beenie Man sends Big Ups to Bounty Killer on the track, acknowledging the impact that the Warlord has had on the younger Dancehall Artistes.
Beenie Man reminded his fans of his versatility and flow as he jogged their memories about how long he and Bounty Killer have been in Dancehall and their impact “from 45 to cassette. LP to compact disc. From 92 to 2020.”
Fans hastily took to the King of the Dancehall singer’s YouTube Channel to offer their own praises and big-ups to the King.
The catchy phrase has become the go-to question among media professionals, elites and common people alike to discourage unwelcome behavior. The single paired with the video portrays the eventful, vibrant nature of Dancehall music as well as the epic and historical night in Dancehall. Watch it below.
