Today Kardi debuts the first visual effort from his acclaimed album “The Valedictorian.” “Joke!” finds Kardi venting his frustrations with what many are calling a backwards industry: MCs more concerned with bong hits than bars, indelible hype cycles fueled by clueless bloggers, and all the lackluster hip-hop at the center of it all. The video, directed and premiered by Sperry of ItsTheBino.com and MTV Networks, features Kardi’s interpretation of today’s rap archetypes: the stoner, trapper, the pretty boy, and the frat rapper, with hilarious results.
