Young Roddy – Kyle Watson (video)

Posted in Artists, Music Videos on June 3rd, 2012 by Hyphen

If you name your song after the main character in my favorite movie of all time…AND you can rap…the chances are quite good that I’ll post it on TAOD.  As I mentioned with his previous set of visuals, my only disappointment with Roddy’s mixtape was that I was hoping for an album over original production.  He crushed the verses though.

Lupe Fiasco – Double Burger With Cheese (unofficial video)

Posted in Artists, Movies, Music Videos on December 18th, 2011 by Hyphen

It doesn’t look like Lupe had anything to do with the creation of this video for “Double Burger With Cheese,” but whoever spliced together all these clips of Juice, Menace II Society, Boyz N The Hood, New Jersey Drive, Dead Presidents, Sugar Hill, New Jack City, Colors, and more did an excellent job.  Would have liked to hear and see an Above The Rim reference, but other than that, flawless.

The Kid Daytona – On The Hill (video)

Posted in Artists, Music Videos on January 29th, 2011 by Hyphen

Visuals for one of the songs that made SNSS‘ “Best of 2010” show a few weeks back.  This was filmed out here in the San Juan Islands while Daytona and others (include Aloe Blacc, who you can see in this video) shot the new LRG catalog.

And this song gets eternal props for the Above The Rim reference.  As always.

El Prez ft. DNEZ – It Is What It Is (video)

Posted in Artists, Music Videos on November 18th, 2008 by Hyphen

My train of thought:

  • Ah, I hate that phrase, “it is what it is”…right up there with “everything is everything.”
  • Oh wait, this is from Prez…that dude is dope.
  • Oh word up!  This is off his mixtape from a few months back…good stuff.
  • I was already won over, but I forgot Prezzo gave the ill Above The Rim reference.  Shout to my favorite movie of all time.  “Guard?  Coach, I’m all the guard you need!  Man…get to the back of the bus.”
  • Haha, forgot DNEZ kicked a Beckham line too.
  • Man, the new West ain’t playin’.

Another dope video: Kaze – “So Real”

Posted in Artists, Music Videos on June 12th, 2008 by Hyphen

More dope visuals, this time from one of North Carolina’s finest, Kaze. “So Real” also features Erv Ford and one of my favorite MC’s of all time, Wordsworth. Definitely peep this. Respect to Kaze for dropping the Nutso reference. Cinematic quality aside, “Above The Rim,” is my favorite movie of all time! “Nutsooooooooooooooooooooooooo” (The way “Pain” opens the movie is so ill)

Swiped from Kevin Nottingham.
