Okay, so what do you get when you combine Madlib and MF Doom? Madvillain of course! This video is sick! Just sick! The song by it’s self is amazing. Madlib’s beat is so smooth and more than likely a major part of the inspiration for the later MF Doom / DJ Dangermouse collaboration of Dangerdoom. Throughout the entire album Madlid seamlessly mixes a steady stream of beats and old time radio clips to perfection while MF Doom spits his quirky yet incredibly intelligent rhymes.
Doom’s lyrics are clever enough to keep the song interesting despite not having a hook. That’s no easy accomplishment. His flow is smooth and clam but he still manages to throw a few rhythmic kinks in the preverbal gears. His ability to make sure that his punch lines stand out clearly is possibly his best trait as an emcee considering that he keeps them coming one after anther.

So please do enjoy my # 8 hip-hop video….

Fresh Sweater

A great new line from the talented fashion design group known as Oki-ni.

So the number 9 video on my list is Fatlip’s “What Up Fatlip”. This video was never a staple on MTV or BET, as a matter of fact I doubt it received any air time. There’s no bling, sports cars, or classy ladies shake n’ their things up in the camera. I know that doesn’t sound like a typical rap video but that’s because this video is anything but typical.

I love how at the end of every year all the critics, entertainment magazines and websites release their “best of” list. Top ten best films of the year, songs, biggest news stories, or whatever, you think of it there’s a list. This is why we have the Oscars, Golden Globes, Billboard awards, heck; we even have the Razzies for the worst films. MTV has their Video awards and I’m sure VH1 and Fuse do as well.
