Ten Music Videos featuring Street Signs

1. Joey Bada$$ feat. CJ Fly - "Hardknock" 2012  *They get all up in the street signs.



2. Nas - "Made You Look" 2002  *This song is from the God's Son album, which is my favorite Nas album.



3. LL Cool J feat. Boyz II Men - "Hey Lover" 1995  *Classic mid-nineties Hip Hop and R and B combo.



4. The Beatles - "Penny Lane" 1967  *British street signs are so much classier than American street signs. In this video, The Beatles ride horses wherever they want.



5. Cat Power - "Manhattan" 2013  *Something deep inside me tells me that this is not cool, yet, I like it anyway.



6. Anthony Hamilton - "Comin' From Where I'm From" 2003  *I never really had an Anthony Hamilton phase, but, this song has always stood out as quality.



7. Midnight Star - "Operator" 1984  *Every phone in this video has a cord, even the giant phone.



8. Uptown XO - "Spread Love" 2013  *This song is just okay, it feels like it is missing something. Maybe the beat needs one more level or maybe it is perfect for someone else. It doesn't suck bad enough for me to leave it off the blog though.



9. MC Lyte - "Brooklyn" 2008  *The first 33 seconds of this video is actually Flying Lotus' "Tea Leaf Dancers" which is much better than the "Brooklyn" song. MC Lyte goes for the Jamaican (or some other) accent in this unfortunately weak comeback tune.



10. New Order - "Regret" 1993  *There are many other things going on in this video besides street signs and it all happens so quickly.
