Timbaland ft. Drake – Say Something (video)

Posted in Artists, Music Videos on December 13th, 2009 by Hyphen

Hmmm.  I love this record…well, like 75% of it (sorry Tim)…but this video doesn’t do much for me.  Seeing Timbaland lip sync Drake’s lines just reiterates the fact that Drizzy completely carries the song.  I believe this is what they call “pulling a Birdman.”  I.e., riding Drake’s coattails for dear life to remain relevant in hip-hop.  Shrug.

If you’d like an alternative, be sure to peep the mix I did including Lupe…

Drake ft. Kanye West, Lil Wayne, and Eminem – Forever (video)

Posted in Artists, Music Videos, Sports on September 24th, 2009 by Hyphen

Honestly, this video is a little bit of a hot mess.  Hype’s shots just seem so boring these days, the performances aren’t anything special, and the clips from LeBron’s movie just make it all look odd.  Definitely would have been better served to not appear on the soundtrack and perhaps have a little more creativity with the scenes.  With my day job involving music videos, I see 10 cooler clips than this a day…which is pretty sad when you think about all the major players that were involved with this project.

That said:

“she insists she got more class…WE KNOW

is one of the hardest lines of the year.  Drizzy!
