It’s been a while since we had some cool music videos. So maybe it’s about time I brought it back and use this category the way I usually do.
That said, I felt like linking up some Kanye West stuff. I like the Grammy winning rapper. What’s a Grammy mean to the Chicago born rapper anyway? He’d probably have rather won a VMA from the music station formerly known as MTV.
Regardless, the 30 year-old rapper/producer is extremely talented. His third album Graduation took home Best Rap Album and Best Rap Solo Performance for the hit song ”Stronger.” Let’s take a look at some of his best work to date:
Kanye West: “Good Life”
this song just rocks. funny enough, during halftime of a b-ball game I was scoring last December in Park Slope, I started altering the words and creating my own rap to the beat cracking up the people next to me. Long story. :lol:
Kanye West: “Stronger”
this is the best song on the album and really went big time played all over gyms and even Madison Square Garden during Ranger games. Yeah. They promo’d it successfully showing players working out. It def. worked. Random thought: What’s the deal with those white striped shades? Anyway, the lyrics in this track are off the hook.
Kanye West: “Flashing Lights”
the song is great but the video’s a tad eerie. To quote my good buddy and co-host Rob “Kraze” Davis, “That chick could catch it.”
Kanye West: “Through The Wire”
this is the first single off Kanye’s debut album The College Dropout detailing his comeback from a near fatal car accident on Oct. 23, 2002. It has an oldschool feel to it. Does anyone else think he sounds a little like idol Jay Z who he’s produced for?
Kanye West: “Jesus Walks”
this is definitely one of his strongest tracks with a powerful message. The imagery in the video is really good. You can tell that they put a lot into the making of it.
Kanye West:Â ”Can’t Tell Me Nothin’”
another great song off Graduation. As good as the others are, I prefer this one as it just has a dope ass beat and is Kanye at his best.
Kanye West: “Bittersweet”
this is really different sounding but excellent and very deep. More top notch lyrics with a nice beat.
Kanye West fea. Chris Martin: “Homecoming”
this song recently came out and it just kicks ass. Having ColdPlay lead singer Chris Martin on the chorus works big time. It’s a great combo. Even better is the video itself which is shot in black and white in Chitown. Fireworks are cool as hell too.
