NLE Choppa Featuring Polo G
“Jumpin’”
Treatment: Steve Porcaro
Anything is possible when NLE Choppa and Polo G enter an electric, psychedelic world of neon lights, smoking silk worms and rapping cats.
We open in a dark forest as Choppa and Polo G are already in the middle of running from something. We don’t know what’s after them, but it doesn’t matter. They’re on the run.
As they sprint past branches and vines, Choppa keeps looking back - making sure they’re in the clear. Without notice, he trips over a tree root and falls hard. His head slams to the ground. Lights out.
Cut to black.
Polo G tries to wake Choppa up.
“Yo, Choppa…You alright?”
Choppa slowly opens his eyes. He’s disoriented. Confused.
The music and childlike dialogue at the start of “Jumpin’” kick in.
Choppa looks around. He knows something is off. Where the fuck is he?
The forest has come to life with neon mushrooms, crazy lights and trippy forest critters. He’s teleported to another dimension. He looks over and sees a large cat. But this is no ordinary cat. It’s ChoppaCat. And he’s spitting the real Choppa’s lyrics right back at him.
As the real Choppa watches ChoppaCat rap his verses back at him, he shakes his head in disbelief.
The forest continues to come to life. The rocks around him have faces, and they’re rapping his lyrics back to him as well.
The Real Choppa struggles to his feet and continues walking through the woods. As he walks, he sees various animals (squirrels, owls, raccoons) bobbing their heads to the beat.
He reaches an opening in the trees, and stops in his tracks…
The forest is lit up like an electric acid trip; with vibrant lights and beautiful illuminated sculptures. It’s smokey and moody, and the real Choppa watches a version of himself performing “Jumpin’” in all it’s glory.
He looks over and sees Polo G.
Polo G is in a silk worm costume, smoking a hookah. He drops the hookah, blows out a shit ton of smoke, and starts his verse.
Some more forest critters come out and form Polo G’s entourage as he rips through his lines.
The Real Choppa continues to make his way through the forest, still confused and disoriented. He comes to a lagoon, where he sees himself once again - performing on a floating stage on the water.
The water is illuminated from beneath as sexy mermaids splash around. It’s going off, and even the real Choppa is starting to get into it. He sees Polo G (still dressed as a silkworm) smoking his hookah and getting into the groove.
As the song comes to an end, the scenery fades to black.
We hold on black for a beat as we hear the buzzing vibration of a cellphone.
We open on Choppa’s iPhone vibrating on a bedroom nightstand. The screen reads “Polo”.
Choppa’s arm reaches over and grabs the phone and puts it on speaker. We stay on the phone.
Choppa: Yo.
Polo: Where the fuck you at? We need you down at the studio.
Choppa: Oh man…I just had the craziest dream.
Polo: Oh wow…That’s so cool. I’d love to hear all about it.
Choppa: Really?
Polo: No! Get your ass down here. Now!
Polo hangs up. Choppa brushes him off and sits up in bed - never revealing his face. We see someone else in his bed, and remnants of a wild night. We see his silhouette walk by camera on his way to a mirror to check himself before he heads out.
We finally reveal his face in the mirror, but what we see isn’t the real Choppa’s face. It’s Choppa Cat. He looks into camera with a smirk.
Cut to black.
