BA
Miami. 1980s. Two men just won the World Curling Championship and spent the prize money on a motel. BA is a victory lap shot like a fashion editorial — retro pastel colors, models everywhere, champagne in the Florida heat. The kind of flex that only makes sense if you don't need to make sense anymore.
White linen. Unstructured pastel blazers. Loafers and no socks. Oversized sunglasses. Shoulder-padded Dynasty fashion on models. The heat in every frame. The palette doing the talking — coral, teal, pink, gold — while everyone in it stays completely composed.
Packed arena. Final end of the World Curling Championship. Quavo steps up and delivers the stone. It slides into the house — perfect. The crowd erupts.
Champagne in the locker room. Then a press table. Reporters. Cameras. The moment of transition from champion to something else entirely.
A standalone setup. Both artists on the same sheet of ice in curling gear. Cold breath visible. The championship stone in the house behind them.
Still. Composed. Unbothered. A bookend between the skit world and the motel world — no explanation needed. Two champions. Nobody else on the ice. The stone already thrown.
Morning. Miami beach. A volleyball game in full swing — six models in 1980s beachwear, movement everywhere. In the center of all of it: Quavo. Completely still. Pastel suit, no shirt, loafers slowly sinking into the sand. He is not watching the game. The game is around him like weather.
Midday. The lawn behind the motel. Teal umbrellas. White furniture. Palms. On a blanket and low table — a full luxury picnic. China. Crystal. Silver trays. Both artists reclined in pastel suits and linen blazers, completely at ease.
Models in Dynasty-meets-South Beach fashion — shoulder-padded blazers, silk blouses. A butler in white gloves refilling crystal glasses. At the far edge: three flamingos. Nobody reacts.
Afternoon. Future at a poolside table — food, drinks, brick phone in hand. Performing direct to lens. Beside him, a tailor moves in silence — chalk marks on the sleeve, measuring tape, pin cushion. Future never looks at him once.
The pool behind him alive. A model on a float. Models on balcony railings above. Late afternoon Miami light turning the water gold. One model holds an alligator on a leash. Nobody reacts.
Early evening. Front of the motel. Two 1980s cars in the forecourt. Both artists leaning against their cars, performing to camera. Through the car windows: models with stacks of cash. The motel fully alive — room doors open, models in doorways and on balconies, lights coming on.
The sky behind the roofline going pink and teal. The motel sign glowing against the dusk.
