Frank Ocean – Acura Integurl (video)

Posted in Artists, Music Videos on May 23rd, 2011 by Hyphen

As soon as I saw the still for this video, I noticed Frank and director Dave Wilson didn’t actually use an Integra, but as Mr. Ocean mentioned on his blog, the visuals were a “decent excuse to drive a NSX through mountains.”  I’m not mad one bit.  The song itself is simply constructed, with Frank riffing over an Adele-esque piano loop, so the video is a fitting accompaniment.

However, I am a little salty that I can’t see a NSX without thinking of one of my exes, who was obsessed with them hahaha.  What up girrrrrrrrrl?

Pusha T – Blow (video)

Posted in Artists, Music Videos on May 21st, 2011 by Hyphen

Of all the “EEEGGGHHHHHCKK”-worthy verses on Pusha’s Fear Of God mixtape, this one might be the hardest.  The visuals do the right thing and keep it simple for this track that would make Tony Montana himself blush.

Funny haircuts. Funny clothes. Funny Kanye-esque hand movements. Good music.

I might have to rock this on Sound Session tomorrow…

Timelapse – The City Limits

Posted in Art, Videos on May 8th, 2011 by Hyphen

I’ve said it before on the site and I’ll say it again. I’m a sucker for flashing lights and when you combine them with crystal clear video and a time lapse…aw man, it’s ALWAYS dope.

Lupe Fiasco ft. Skylar Grey – Words I Never Said (video)

Posted in Artists, Music Videos on May 8th, 2011 by Hyphen

I just realized that I Tweeted and Facebooked this, but never posted it on the blog. You know a record is dope and a MC is incredible when a beat and hook that most hip-hop heads would generally pass on can be turned into a joint like this…

The Foreign Exchange – The Last Fall (video)

Posted in Artists, Music Videos on May 5th, 2011 by Hyphen

Maaaaaaan, I knew that dude looked like he belonged on an episode of Law & Order.  You don’t quite expect a video from Phonte and Nicolay to come in the form of visuals that could have doubled for “Kim,” but Matt Koza and Bruce Pinchbeck did an excellent job with this one.

Elzhi – Halftime (video)

Posted in Artists, Music Videos on May 5th, 2011 by Hyphen

I saw a few people commenting on the wait we’ve endured for Elzhi’s Elmatic and it was evident that they were a little frustrated because it’s not necessarily a completely original concept.  However, the few records that we’ve heard off it so far are RIDICULOUS so I’m really looking forward to it being released on May 10th.  The combination of Elzhi’s Nasir-influenced bars with live instrumentation is gonna be crazy…
