The genre of this song is R&B, and hip hop, which is clearly illustrated in his music video. The beat is up tempo but in some cases very calm. The is a unusual video compared to other R&B videos as it doesn’t have much lighting and special effects. Also in many other videos you see a lot of dancing and something lively going on, this seems to be a calm video resembling the calm song. The only real affect that is used is the different pictures put together to make a face and the “cartoon” look. Also the thick white line around each character adds to the cartoon look. Furthermore you always see various different places in a music video i.e. one scene will be filmed in a club and the next somewhere else. This video is filmed on the same street for most of it and a few outskirts around. 
Music videos are usually designed to keep the audience interested and therefore making them re-watch the video over and over. This is clearly visible in this music video as it’s so different and unique. Also the affects used on the whole video makes you watch it as different faces keep appearing.
This video is narrative based as it tells a story of how girls don’t have anything on each other and if they did you should be the one to ignore it and move on. This can be concluded form the lyric “they might say hi and i might say hey but you shouldn't worry about what they say cause they got nothing”I think this video is very good as it is different from most other music videos. its very creative with the effects used as it turns a montage f images into one which works really well with the whole concept of the video. the visuals reflect the lyrics well.
