Papoose "Handshakes with Snakes" Prod by. Ron Browz

Papoose saves the title's central image for late in "Handshakes with Snakes": a breakdown of every finger involved in a handshake, turning an everyday gesture of trust into the closing device of his diss track.

As we reported here, the Ron Browz-produced release has passed a million views. Beyond that milestone, the video has a deliberately theatrical visual identity: masked figures in a Purge-themed opening, nighttime performances in a graffiti-covered tunnel, manipulated images and a mock tombstone. Will C and Tana direct, with Papoose performing throughout.

Archival images and clips of Meek Mill, Quilly and Joey Jihad bring Philadelphia's battle-rap history into the presentation. They are references within the video, not guest performances on the track.

The upload added about a million views since yesterday. In the comments, viewers repeatedly pick out the late hand breakdown and its five-finger structure, while another recalls listening to Papoose back in his "Alphabetical Slaughter" days.

For anyone looking for the passage behind those repeated hand references, it begins at 5:25, just before the track fades to Papoose's cartoon logo.
