Loot

The video for ‘Loot’ sees Gabby B in the role of a minimum wage worker, mistreated by customers, and abused by her manager. As if by magic however, the roles are reversed, and suddenly Gabby is able to strut her stuff, surrounded by fame, fortune, and success. Gabby declares all the things she sings about, such as top class labels, never ending money and so on – and they become real life. She is showered with cash, she gets rides in private jets, and flash cars, and she’s bedecked with precious jewels. By the end of the video, we see Gabby on the other side of the counter. The customer who had previously yelled at her is now her employee, apologetic, and subservient. Gabby however, rather than yelling at her for not having a dress ready, instead shows the worker kindness.

The moral to the story? We can get to the top – but when we’re there, we must never forget where we’ve come from, and respect those who are on the way up.
