Whilst the Brazilian version is a beautiful culturally work of art. I much prefer the prison version considering that for me it is the better and more accurate representation of what the song stands for.

Yeah I said I prefer the Prison Version but I am going to cheat and add this to the list as well anyway as it’s still one of his greatest ( and underrated to be honest) videos and it truly shows how much of an artistic genius he really was.
