However, Tintin and Haddock were able to pinpoint Sakharine's current location, which happens to be the same dock where Tintin was captured and taken to. However, Sakharine forced Tintin to surrender all three scrolls by pushing both Haddock and Snowy into the water, forcing Tintin to rescue them while Sakharine and his thugs sail away with all three scrolls. Eventually, Snowy was able to retrieve the first and second scrolls for Tintin, who eventually managed to catch the falcon with the third scroll. To that end, Allan knocks out Haddock with a bottle of rum before stealing the first scroll just as Sakharine sends his pet falcon to steal the third scroll from a bulletproof glass case. As Tintin, Haddock and Snowy escape on a boat, Sakharine soon learns that they're heading to Bagghar (the location of the third scroll), so he angrily orders Allan and the crew to track them down.Īfter reaching Bagghar, Allan and Tom spotted Haddock retrieving the first scroll from Detectives Thomson and Thompson (who managed to retrieve Tintin's wallet after arresting Silk). As such, Sakharine orders Allan and the crew to kill Tintin as he is no use, but Tintin escapes with the help from his dog Snowy and Haddock. To that end, Allan kidnapped Tintin by putting him in a cargo box and transporting him to Haddock's ship called the SS Karaboudjan, even after murdering Interpol agent Barnaby Dawes (who tried to warn Tintin about Sakharine's intentions).Īllan and Tom searched through Tintin to find the second scroll detailing the location of the treasure (as Sakharine already obtained the first scroll), but is nowhere to be found (since the second scroll is inside Tintin's wallet, which has been stolen by Aristides Silk). As it turns out, Allan and the rest of the crew (including Tom and Pedro) are aware of the story and have mutinied against Haddock in order to help Sakharine steal the treasure and avenge his ancestor Red Rackham (who was killed in a failed attempt to steal Sir Francis' treasure).
Peep “Diablo” below, and be on the look for new visuals from Mac Meezey.Allan first appeared at the apartment of the famed journalist Tintin, who is working on the story of Sir Francis' treasure of the sunken ship known as the Unicorn. Melancholy melodies and pop culture references have become Mac’s steez, and save for Yung Lean, there’s no one really out there with that style. Miller’s singing has also shown drastic improvement, though not displayed on this song in particular. He’s become innovative in a genre that tends to thrive on either long-term consistency or the newest fad. It’s a reasonable fear that Miller will forever be taken as a joke, an artist with no artistry, but those who say so just aren’t listening. There are rumors that the video is one of several that are to be released soon from the tape.
“Diablo” was the first song we heard from the project, and it was a raw preview of what was to come on Faces. It also showcased Miller’s growing production skills, which I raved about in my review of the tape way back when.The video juxtaposes Miller’s goofy image with the serious, hard-hitting lyrics that can sometimes get lost in the shuffle. Faces, the latest, and perhaps most acclaimed project from Mac, is a slew of depression, insanity, and humor in a genre usually consistent in a masculinity. Initially dismissed as one of the frat rap archetypes, Mac Miller has grown to become contemporaries with the best names in rap.
