It's still shocking to see a lithe Rick Ross. He's not exactly skinny, but you can tell that he's much less wide than he used to be. Take his appearance in the "Black Bottles" video alongside Quavo, Offset and Takeoff as an example. Normally, Ross would be a planetary force, keeping each of the Migos in orbit around his spherical mass. But instead, he seems to fade to the back. Maybe it's because the video is shot mostly in black, which is a slimming color, therefore shrinking Rick Ross even further in size. Or maybe it's because Ross' on-camera video energy is the same as it was when he was heavier. Maybe Ross should take advantage of his weigh loss by showing off his newfound agility or leaping ability. I know that the video is all about black bottles and the champagne stored within them, but imagine how much better a video of Rick Ross working out would look synced up to this song. It's also worth noting that Takeoff has been killing it recently and that Young Thug is in this video, just hanging out and being cool.
