[This](https://youtu.be/bTzW3zrUydQ) is a 2016 video from the rapper Scarface. He was one of the members of the pioneering rap trio Geto Boys and later had (and still has) a successful solo career. Anyway, that’s not really the point of this thread. I want to ask the Dope who can spot the relevant link to today’s current events in this video from 4 years ago? I’m sure there are people here who already know the answer, feel free to be a buzz kill and get it in one ;). I had no idea about this “its a small world” connection until I was watching the video myself and noticed it and had to google it t(please don’t do that here) to make sure I was seeing what I thought i was seeing. ---

[This](https://photos.app.goo.gl/sN98AzhbWCj893SE8) is a big hint, since it seems no one has chimed in with anything thus far. Now, foes this man look familiar to anyone? ---

Looks like George Floyd. He was a minor hip hop artist, so I assume that’s why he’s in the video. ---

I see you took down the picture, but while nobody jumped out immediately, I did guess/assume that you meant what (or who) you meant, which I confirmed from the first comment on your YouTube link. ---

When the chorus started in the video, I expected [Michelle Pfeiffer](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fPO76Jlnz6c) to show up. ---

Correct. He was connected to several big name rappers while living in Houston. He even fancied himself as rapper and went by the stage name Big Floyd. (BTW, sorry for theze posting mistakes, im trying to get used to this board) ---
