The rapper in this video walked into my hostel this afternoon and I recognized him instantly. He scratched his head, approached the concierge and inquired about prices for a single room for four days. The concierge tells him it is 43 per night for a private room. The rapper bristled, wincing. Ali, the concierge, trying to close the sale said, "if you stay more than two night, i make it 37 per night" which, given the location, is a steal.
