It's okay to put your complicated feelings about Macklemore & Ryan Lewis aside and just enjoy the sight of Idris Elba rapping in leather pants.

The actor stars in the duo's video for "Dance Off" from This Unruly Mess I've Made, and it does more to ingratiate them to the public than any of their near-constant apologies for their existence.

The clip follows occupants of a hotel as, one by one, they all realize that dancing truly is the only way to settle personal scores.
