Gibbs\u2019 insubordinate behavior earns him a beatdown, but the rapper exacts his vengeance on his partner and takes over his business. When the video jumps to the present, Aurelio is trying to find out if Gibbs \u2014 who ostensibly retired to a zebra farm in the \u201cCrime Pays\u201d clip \u2014 is getting back into the game and sets a time for them to meet.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">When \u201cGiannis\u201d kicks in, Gibbs spits the song as he speeds around on a jet ski, though the ride eventually leads him to a buoy where he finds Aurelio waiting for him. The two exchange some curt words, with Gibbs seemingly convincing Aurelio that he\u2019s out of the game for good. But back on shore, Aurelio decides not to take any chances and strangles the rapper with his belt and leaves him for the fish.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/t\/freddie-gibbs-and-madlib\/\" id=\"auto-tag_freddie-gibbs-and-madlib\" data-tag=\"freddie-gibbs-and-madlib\">Freddie Gibbs and Madlib<\/a> released <em>Bandana<\/em> at the end of last month.
