Synopsis

Smoke Noises turn "2000 Pounds" into a deliberately oversized comedy piece. The three rappers appear in exaggerated fat suits, performing with straight-faced confidence while the visual plays up the absurdity of their expanded personas. Rather than following a conventional narrative, the video leans into character, physical comedy, and the contrast between the group's energetic underground hip-hop delivery and its knowingly ridiculous presentation. The result is a playful visual companion that treats excess as both its central joke and its main aesthetic.

• Smoke Noises was formed through a collaboration between the duo Smoke Screen - Mooke and Chemist - and rapper/producer Ghost Noises.

• The video's central gag is unusually specific: all three rappers appear in fat suits. Cleveland Scene later singled it out as a hilarious local production and included it among Turnstyle Films' notable Cleveland music videos.

• The production was associated with Turnstyle Films. An animated Alloy-X bumper was created for the label's videos around the same time, with animation by Anthony Snitzer and music by Urbindex.
