Your Top Three Hip Hop Videos

here's mine, in no particular order, it's not about the music, it's about the whole package


RA Rugged Man - Posse Cut

I laugh out loud at the terrorising of the little kids by "could have been Wu affiliate" rugged man and then full on home invasion, complete with exotic dancers and various reprobates, the "bark like a dog" cuck scene ("come on I'll show you my myspace"), Blaq poet (edit: oops ) Hell Razah sporting a Jah Warrior military tunic to rival Luciano or Capleton, speech impediments don't impede the flow over sped up studio one Horace Andy


Trouble - Bussin'

archetypal scary hood guys pointing hardware at the cameraman

no wonder he is dead

I might tell the story about the torture flat one day


E-40 - Tell me When To Go

MDMA references, gurning ( "fizz face" ), ghost riding the whip, shake them dreads, stunna shades

I love the look of the late 90s Hype Williams stuff. That thick, saturated, glossy thing. That's why I liked Belly. A whole film looking like one of his vids.

Also presented their world as a fully formed and alien concept in one neat package. Simultaneously hilarious and impressive, menacing and mysterious, shady and glamorous.

This is like the end point of what Lil Kim started but the destination is not as appealing as the journey.

i actually know barely any rap videos.
all the ones i remember are hype williams ones, or early snoop, or beastie boys.
all the hype williams ones he did for missy were the best.

the what we do video looks like an episode of the wire its all cold and misty
in texas they're always congregating in sunbaked parking lots
