TI Blaze “Try” Review
The music video for TI Blaze’s Try is indeed an impressive watch. It shows that we should Try to get money, and be successful, but never at extreme lengths.
TI Blaze’s “death” in the short video shows the death that comes as a result of trying to follow shortcuts to success.
The robbery in TI Blaze’s music video for Try shows that while the gang actually got money, it was at a great cost.
TI Blaze lost the remaining two of his gang and he had to dispose of their bodies in a river.
Afterwards, he gathers the money but is even too shocked to realize that he had also been shot.
Song theme
TI Blaze shows that money is extremely important even to man’s health because money is just the language of the world.
And in fact, engaging in different endeavors means having a lot of money to run these endeavors. To this extent, TI Blaze says he has to try to get money regardless.
He says that:
“No girl will love you if you no get money”
Which may in fact, be TI Blaze talking from experience. This shows he has to Try to get money at all costs.
Lyricism
Ti Blaze’s Try is lyrically applauding.
I mean, the lyrics are so suitable and address a contemporary issue such as the hustle to try to get rich.
It doesn’t get more realistic than that. The lyrics of Try by TI Blaze makes the song sink in better, and the lyrics also enhance the song theme.
Relatability
If there is something about TI Blaze’s Try, it’s that it is very realistic.
We all try and struggle to make it every day because it is just what makes the world turn around.
On Social media, there is always the flaunt of money and achievements. Consciously or unconsciously.
These flaunts have an effect on us and push us to Try to make it just like the people we see every day.
This influence may even come from our admiration of celebrities and how far they have come.
We just want to Try to be like them and this remain the point.
This is why he says:
I don try I don try. I no fit stop till I get enough money.
However, as much as TI Blaze urges us to Try to be successful (at least, as interpretive as the lyrics get), he establishes a moral stance that robbery or any other illegal activities can never be the way to success because there is just no shortcut.
Whether we like it or not, Success is a long road and anyone or anything that makes us think otherwise is just leading us on a journey of deceit.
There is so much to success than just robbing an individual, shop or bank blind.
It never ends with that. This is because Success has been programmed to work with a particular activity- that we do consistently.
This is why no matter how much robbers steal, it is almost never “one and done” with them.
So as TI Blaze suggests, we can only Try to be successful and hope that our endeavors are blessed as we abide by the principles.
Delivery
TI Blaze’s delivery on Try is impressive.
It is amazing how natural he gets with delivering Try.
TI Blaze discusses a contemporary subject of people’s efforts to hustle and he adopts an emotional (although subtle) tone to approach this subject.
Replay Value
The relatability of Try makes it have a high replay value. You just want to listen to it over and over again because, somehow, it propels your hustle.
It encourages you to keep on trying because money is important whether we like it or not.
And in fact, our greatest worries are about our financial difficulties.
