Video

Judah hits us with a video for his track commemorating the year that was in the DMV, 2008. Pretty simple but cool video just showing Judah on his computer in a stripped down building and RA also makes her appearance for her singing part at the end. I posted the audio to this track earlier and I like it but was not expecting a video, it’s a cool track that recaps the year well and is definitely worth the listen, especially if you’re from the DMV.

This is one of my favorite songs from the album Stick 2 the Script and a great song to shoot a video to, I wish they had more Pimp C clips though. Statik chops up a bunch of Pimp C samples for the chorus and has Pimp’s UGK partner Bun B and Houston unsung hero Cory Mo rhyming over it. The video is looks like it is shot in Houston and is directed by Wraithe for Kinetik Cinematix. If you haven’t already, go and and get his album, it is definitely one of my favorite recent albums to drop and I rarely like the producer/DJ collaboration albums.

Wow, an actual musician who is a rapper, Charles Hamilton must be jealous, haha. B.o.B. plays with a live band for an Unplugged show in Atlanta and tears it up. In this clip B.o.B. performs “I’ll Be in the Sky” and it looks like he is a dope performer, I wish the sound quality was just a little better though. I need to get my ass to a B.o.B. show in NYC ASAP, I have been loving his style for a long time and like the work he is doing more everyday.

A Big Sean freestyle to get everyone excited about his album Finally Famous which is dropping in ‘09. The freestyle is alright, there are points where I am feeling what he is saying and other points where he clearly gets off track, for example the two Louie Vitton lines. Considering most new artists freestyle abilities are complete garbage these days, this is some good work. I have been waiting for this album for a while now and want it to be released sooner rather than later in ‘09.

I am leaving for the holidays and thought I would leave you with an appropriate song for this time of year. This is probably the only rap Christmas song I can stand and what’s even better is they made a video for it! Make sure to check back in every now and then over the holidays because we won’t be offline for long. I hope everyone has a happy and safe holiday season.

ItsTheReal posted up a new video today and it is in the holiday spirit. The guys make an infomercial suggesting to buy Wreckx-n-Effecxmas, a Christmas album featuring 12 different takes on Wrecks-n-Effect’s track “Rumpshaker”. I didn’t think was that good until I went back and saw one of the track titles was “Rumpshaker ft. Busta Rhymes when he wore big hats and wasn’t like everybody else” haha, wow. With all the bad Christmas raps out there I think The Real  could have really had an easy time taking swipes at a lot more rappers in a video this time of year, I would have started here.

Donny goines gives us another video off of his album out now called Minute After Midnight. I like the songs that tell a story throughout the whole rap and this one is good one, talking of the struggles on the street. Statik Selektah provides the beat for this song and it is pretty soulful with the samples. Mills Miller directs the video and I am happy as hell that it isn’t Rik Cordero, no hating on Rik, rappers just need to realize there are other director’s out there.
