Bad Bunny Chops It Up at Carbone With Al Pacino in "MONACO"
Benito is The Godfather.
Bad Bunny is continuing the story he started to tell in the trailer for his fifth studio album, which sees the dripped-out Puerto Rican musician pulling up to NYC eatery Carbone, where he is greeted by a slew of awed fans. In addition to dropping off the album, Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va a Pasar Mañana, Benito is also keeping fans fed today with a new music video as well. For “MONACO,” he dines at Carbone with his boys – including Al Pacino – before actually hitting the streets (and seas) of the Italian oceanside.
“Bebiendo mucha champaña, nunca estamos seco’ / Primero llegó Verstappen, después llegó Checo / Si Pablo me viera, dirá que soy un berraco / Ustede’ hablando mierda y yo y los mío’ por Mónaco,” he slides over the chorus, as he galivants around the restaurant’s dining room and kitchen. Directed by Benito’s visual world-builder STILLZ, the first half of the video hones in on Benito’s star power and ability to command the energy of even an intimate Italian restaurant, infusing some subtle though recognizable nods to Pacino’s The Godfather throughout.
It’s in the latter half of the video that Bad Bunny actually arrives in Monaco, indulging in the luxuries of the high life: gambling, Formula 1, and drinking champagne on yachts. The music video also includes the outtakes at the end, which sees Pacino and Benito conversing over wine and fresh pasta. “You’re doing great,” Pacino tells the musician. “He’s charging it up.”
