Video: Mookie Jones – Outstanding
Exerting maximum cool while doing the absolute least, Mookie Jones drops the final visual from last September’s smooth riding P(laya) A(ss) N(igga) tape by letting down his hair, imagining the younger version of him playing chess with his pops and exchanging game. No major budget, no real distractions (aside from the eye candy at the [...]
The Billboard Awards Pay Tribute to Whitney Houston
Not surprisingly, Sunday’s Billboard Music Awards were filled with tributes and nods to many of the lives music has lost this year. Recently departed disco queen Donna Summer was honored, but an obvious highlight of the night was a fitting tribute to the late Whitney Houston. While it’s a pretty damn interesting coincidence and [...]
Video: B.o.B – Play For Keeps
Bobby Ray plays in the Parisian lights with sparklers and revels in his own success for “Play For Keeps”, another visual off of Strange Clouds.
Video: M.i – NoThing
The entire run for M.i’s The Coldplay Sessions has been a lush, flowing move. Much like the tape itself, the Austin native has carefully thoughtout everything and in the AaronIsNotCool directed clip for “NoThing”, all the fluff has been truncated in favor of direct shots of the Austin producer/emcee, obligatory images which rest right within [...]
Kreayshawn – Breakfast (f. 2 Chainz)
2 Chainz, afficinado for infectious production and designer love sure does have a soft spot for Kreayshawn. While the world thought the weirdest trap-rap to the bay collaboration resided between Gucci Mane & Kreay’s co-hort in pissing off more than a few people V-Nasty, it’s actually these two who wind up sharing bloody meals for [...]
Video: Ab-Soul – Terrorist Threats (f. Danny Brown & Jhené Aiko)
Soulo complements his wide open imagery on the haunting “Terrorist Threats” with graffiti, burning money, Kitty Pryde’s favorite rapper and various images all displaying some form of corruption and disconnect in his eyes. He even makes the cute as a button Jhené Aiko stand in a TDE hoodie looking as if she’d give you a [...]
Video: Miss Mykie – For My City (Remix) f. Killa Kyleon
After starting off the week with the release of her new theme song for all AKA probates happening this fall Cashin’ Out remake “Ivy’d Out,” Miss Mykie hit us this Thursday with her newest leak from her forthcoming #NoReceipt project, the remix for “For My City.” Some of you may remember the original “For My [...]
Video: Nicki Minaj – Right By My Side (f. Nas & Chris Brown)
Somehow, Nas has the same genes that inhabit Pharrell Williams and a host of others. They don’t age, ever. Nas is closer to 40 but looks 19 when he stands next to Nicki Minaj as her love interest for the “Right By My Side” video directed by Benny Boom and if the initial shock hasn’t [...]
Video: Mayer Hawthorne – Henny & Gingerale
Here’s what we get when we go out and buy Mayer Hawthorne records hard copy, we miss snazzy records such as the “mostly-chorus-and-somewhat-of-a-verse-but-it’s-still-groovy” “Henny & Gingerale”. It resides as an iTunes only single where Mayer is busy snapping his fingers being the live of the party while playing a game of sip & pass ala [...]
Video: Dex Owusu – Loud City
Is it an anthem for the Oklahoma City Thunder or merely an ode to Oklahoma City itself? The former N-Dex now runs by Dex Owusu (his government name) and considers himself able and willing to carry OKC hip-hop on his back much like Kevin Durant wears all of the loves of his life. “Loud City” [...]
