Viewers of MTV Jams in the last few days may have come across the new Clipse video “Popular Demand (Popeye’s).” In the fourth single from their upcoming release Til the Casket Drops, the Virginia Beach duo shies away from their typical cocaine talk to brag about hanging outside of Popeye’s Chicken & Biscuits in their new Acura CL.
But the video, which also features Cam’ron, is not shot at Popeye’s—the restaurant featured on screen seems to have no name at all. Somewhat oddly, the trio raps at length in front of a place with a blank yellow marquee. You have to watch the unsanitized version on YouTube to find out that the location is the infamous/beloved Obama Fried Chicken in Brownsville, Brooklyn, as the following before-and-after shots reveal.

What do Don Cheadle, Richard Gere, Ethan Hawke, Wesley Snipes and YOU have in common? If you’re our core demographic, maybe not tons. But tomorrow night, you can all be in the same place.
Brokelyn has two tickets to give away to the premiere of the new film Brooklyn’s Finest and our giveaway includes invites to the after-party with the stars of the film, at a glam hotel they asked us not to mention here because it’s a PRIVATE event.
The movie stars all of the above and was directed by Antoine Fuqua, who won an Oscar for Training Day. It tells the interweaving stories of three cops in Brownsville, where parts of it were filmed. Rumor has it (according to the NY Post) that rival gangs even called a truce during the shoot, while the film’s crew and actors received some real-world guidance and advice from neighborhood residents.
The premier is tomorrow night, March 2, at 7:30 p.m. in Manhattan (Brooklyn’s finest neighbor). Ditch the jeans and flannel kids, because if you’re rubbing elbows with Willy Mays Hayes you had better be making your friends at Brokelyn proud.
Want in? E-mail us at cops@brokelyn.com by tonight at 11:59, and we’ll pick a random winner at midnight. You have to be a Brokelyn e-mail subscriber to be eligible. Not an e-mail subscriber yet? What are you waiting for? That’s how you don’t miss cool stuff like this. Subscribe here.
