Synopsis

Set against a dark, rain-soaked urban landscape, the "Money Greedy" video follows Tricky through a series of stark performance shots and surreal city images. Neon signage, shadowy streets, and industrial textures create a disorienting atmosphere that matches the track's distrustful, confrontational mood. Rather than presenting a conventional storyline, the clip builds a fragmented portrait of a performer caught between personal anguish, fame, and the pressures of commerce. Its nightmarish visual style reflects the bleak world surrounding the *Angels with Dirty Faces* era.
