"I'm Not A Star" Video Review

Rick Ross and director Spiff TV shot a video for "I'm Not a Star," from Teflon Don in Miami. The Bawse, in full support of Spiff's skills, shelled out for big-money production value on this one.

"It was dope. While I was on the set, I told Spiff I was proud of him to see where we started from, the viral ground up, to seeing the homie with a budget and a production crew and a [photography director] and playback screens," Ross said.

Spiff said the video centers on a strong performance by Ross. "It's epic. We're showing exotics, the cars, the imagery. Birdman came through - Ross and Birdman are brothers, so he came through. Khaled did. Showed the support."

Spiff, who also does A&R at Ross' Maybach Music Group, says the team was encouraged to make "I'm Not a Star" a video because of overwhelming reaction to the song during live performances.

"The streets really f****** with it," Spiff described. "Everybody f****s with that song. When Ross performed it in New York, the Governors Island sh**, they knew it as if it was a single. The whole crowd knew the song. That's one of my favorites. Then we was in a club for some Nike sh**, I'm watching Jay-Z do every word. Ross is performing it, Jay is in the cut. I'm like, 'Damn, he knows every word.' It's crazy. After seeing everybody show love, we said we have to shoot the video for it."

The next video Spiff will direct for Ross is "MC Hammer." Hammer himself will be in that clip.
