youTube records

These are some songs and videos that i just can't get enough of:



The GAME f. kanYe West - "WOULDN'T GET FAR"
The wardrobe malfunction in the beginning of the video is more telling of the state of hip-hop today and the characters these rappers play than anything since Slick Rick's "It's a Boy" and Biggie & 112's "Sky's the Limit" videos that had little kids dressed up as the rappers of the day.



Kanye West - "throw some D's" REMIX
"That's why i respect Alicea Keys,
she said effit i'ma just ride with these!"
How many rappers you hear saying they respect
any other woman than their momma?!

Once again a rapper playing a role. but this is more tongue-in-cheek. Maybe this is Kanye getting himself in "dirty old man" mode. I love the motion graphic puppets in this aswell. Great concept. So simple and SO well executed!

Read A Book

Read A Book LIVE (as hell!)

and one more!


UGK & Outkast - Int'l Player's Anthem (Extended Cut)
This is what makes Outkast great. The yin and yang, spacey vs. down-to-earth bookends of Three Stacks and Fat Sacks (love that! Andre 3000 and Big Boi respectively) add so much personality to a simple song about pimpin'.
