Discover the Latest Hip Hop Music Beats, Information about various artists and the hottest scoop surrounding them. Video Album Songs are also up now.

1. Artistic expression of songs in visual form

2. CLASSIC VIDEOS
 Michael Jackson was one of the first
musicians to take the music video into
a completely different form of
expression. He made the videos tell a
story far beyond the song, they
created a mini film. With Kendrick
Lamar recently using Michael Jackson
lyrics and samples from the king of
pop’s videos, it’s clear hip hop and hip
hop videos have been influenced by
Michael Jackson.

3. NEW HIP HOP MUSIC VIDEOS
 Most great hip hop artists these days
create hip hop videos for their songs
for a couple of reasons. First, the
videos give their songs more of a clear
picture or window into the meaning of
the song. Two, hip hop videos create
more hype for the rappers themselves.
The videos can show a certain lifestyle
the rapper is living, making it more
appealing to the viewers.

4. BEST NEW HIP HOP VIDEOS
 The best new hip hop videos provide
two things for the viewers. First, they
shed light on some of the harder
symbols and meanings the song
contains. Second, they still leave some
ambiguity in the song for the viewer to
interpret some of the videos meaning.
Kendrick Lamar’s hip hop video for “i”
and Flying Lotus’s “Never Catch Me”
do exactly just that.

5. GENERIC HIP HOP VIDEOS
 Majority of the hip hop videos out there
this day and age encompass a few of
the same things. The most prominent
being: the party lifestyle, numerous hip
artists use their hip hop videos to show
an extension of the “lavish” life they
live. All the women, sex, drugs,
alcohol, and huge parties the surround
themselves with. Another huge
component many generic hip hop
videos show these days is the streets
most rappers supposedly came from.
They exploit the streets that made
them for more gain.

6. REAL HIP HOP VIDEOS
 Undeniably some of the realest hip
hop videos came from the early to late
90’s when hip hop’s gangster rappers
were at the height of their game.
2pac’s hip hop videos for “Hit ‘Em Up”
and “Hail Mary” being a couple of
them. “Juicy” and “Suicidal Thoughts”
by Notorious B.I.G. also cling to the
category of real hip hop videos.

7. POLITICALLY DRIVEN HIP
HOP VIDEOS
 Unlike some of the generic music
videos of gangsters hustlin’ and
throwing mad parties with girls, a
select few artists create hip hop videos
that have a great sense of cultural
appreciation. These hip hop videos
strive to use their sphere of influence
to promote causes or get the masses
informed on certain problems. Run the
Jewels did exactly that with their hip
hop video for “Close Your Eyes”

8. GREAT HIP HOP VIDEO
DIRECTORS
 Some of the best hip hop video
directors are finally starting to get the
acclaim they deserve with new
categories of awards for them.

great, here’s a few that turned out
awful.

 Kanye West’s “Bound 2”
 Vanilla Ice’s “Ice Ice Baby”
Just to name a few poor hip hop videos

10. TOP HIP HOP MUSIC VIDEOS
