It looks like Oakland rapper G-Eazy experienced quite a bit in his six-year career. He's been on nationwide tours, released multiple mixtapes and had fun partying in between. Six years isn't that long though and careers aren't always permanent. These are two factors the rhymer addresses in the video for 'Almost Famous,' the second single off the upcoming album, 'These Things Happen' -- which he will tour in support of next year.

He uses the laid-back, spacy instrumental for moments of introspection. "They say I'm next to get it / They bring your name up last / While I made a splash / Rappers came and past," G-Eazy sings on the hook.

It's a sobering song, but the accompanying visuals are satirical. The one-shot clip features G-Eazy posing for knockoff magazines of Rolling Stone, XXL, Forbes, Vice and plenty more.

Realistically, he wouldn't have that much time to take part in magazine cover shoots because of his busy touring schedule starting next year. He'll start the 36-date These Things Happen tour on Feb. 21 in Dallas. Tickets go on sale this Friday (Dec. 13).

The 'These Things Happen' LP is due in March 2014.
