Video Of The Week: A. Samuels

According to ''legend'', A. Samuels was a big-time casino worker, or owner, or something. Then he decided he wasn't living ''de life'' enough, which essentially means blowing your money on expensive cars (likely rented for the day) and even more expensive women (likely the same).

Or so this song says implies.

He's got an ok flow for a 55-year old white guy, but claims that he's from ''the hood'' can have no other effect than to leave one laughing out loud and pissing their pants. Which I did.

I mean, Livin De Life, it's got everything that made Livin' La Vida Loca cheesy, but with the added word ''bitches'' and a shout out to Newark, New Jersey.

Look for the infomercial-like speech that starts it off, a lawyer that looks more like a librarian (and also acts as his black friend) 45 seconds in, the 4-person party in his suite at 1:07 (featuring what looks like his nephew, trying not to look embarrassed), all the religions it ''ain't about'' at 1:15, rapping through a cloud of smoke at 1:55 (street cred!), uncomfortable arm-moving at 2:04, a dude who somehow made it onto Samuels' ''private plane'' at 2:28, shout out to the cops at 2:40, Samuels mouthing the speech from Jason Terry's mouth at 3:10
