Big Sean‘s fans were feeling nostalgic on Dec. 16 after the rapper shared the ’90s Black cinema-themed visual for his single “Body Language” featuring girlfriend Jhene Aiko and Ty Dolla $ign. This latest track is off of Sean’s “Detroit 2” album, released in September.
The lyricist based the video’s plot around 1993’s cult classic “Poetic Justice,” starring Janet Jackson and 2Pac. Sean portrays the late rapper’s role as Jhene stars as his love interest. Throughout the four minutes, Ty Dolla $ign makes brief appearances as visual scenes are gradually transitioned into vignettes from other Black romantic films such as “Waiting to Exhale,” “The Best Man,” and “Love Jones.”
Many fans applauded the couple for their creativity and taking them back in time.
A couple of fans pointed out Jhene’s quick homage to the “Waiting to Exhale” iconic scene where Angela Bassett’s character burns her estranged husband’s car along with his other personal items after he asked for a divorce. One commended the singer’s performance.
