Ten Music Videos featuring Abandoned Buildings

1. L'Orange and Stik Figa - "Smoke Rings" 2013  *L'Orange is one of my new favorite super-producers. The City Under The City and The Orchid Days are both instant classics.




2. The Doppelgangaz - "Suppository" 2011  *These guys are bout that cloak life.




3. Reks - "This Or That" (Produced by Statik Selektah) 2011  *Not to be confused with Wreckx-n-Effect, this song is way less exciting than "Rumpshaker."




4. Tim Cross and Burger - "Lacoste" 2014  *I love the abandoned roller coaster location.




5. Tech N9ne feat. Kendrick Lamar, ¡MAYDAY!, and Kendall Morgan - "Fragile" 2014  *Never thought I would like a TechN9ne song, isn't he a juggalo?




6. Blossom feat. Jehst - "Dusk" 2013  *Blossom is part of Berlin and London-based, Project Mooncircle. Jehst is a 16 year veteran of the UK Hip Hop Scene and can be found drinking tea in some of his music videos. Jehst also appears on Eight Music Videos with Animals, Ten Music Videos with Bridges, and Eastbound And Down Sampled.




7. MADlines - "The Weapon" 2014  *Seattle's BeanOne on the production. MADlines was previously featured on Ten Music Videos with Backwards Scenes as half of the duo Canary Sing with Hollis of The Flavr Blue.




8. Dilated Peoples - "Good As Gone" 2014  *They will be at The Showbox on July 9 with Jurassic 5 and The World Famous Beat Junkies, I am so there.




9. Dag Savage (Exile + Johaz) - "The Beginning" 2014  *This video also qualifies for Ten Music Videos featuring Record Stores.




10. NehruvuanDOOM (Bishop Nehru + MF DOOM) - "Darkness" 2014  *I have high hopes for the NehruvianDOOM album. This video should probably be in Eight Music Videos with Special Effect Twins.



*Abandoned buildings are some Hip Hop shit.

Ten More Underwater Music Videos

I put all the Underwater Music Videos I've found so far on a YouTube playlist for you. #YouTubeNchill

1. Headnodic feat. Latyrx and Kat O1O - "Moving On Up" 2011  *Smiling and singing underwater are pro-style. Latyrx will be at Nectar Lounge on September 11 with Nightcappers and Project Lionheart.




2. Wax Tailor feat. Aloe Blacc - "Time To Go" 2012  *The whole world is underwater if you're a yarn squid. Aloe Blacc and Wax Tailor nailed this one.




3. Iska Dhaaf - "Happiness" 2013 (SEATTLE MUSIC)  *These guys have all the potential in the world, I can't wait to see what they do next. Their amazing "Everybody Knows" video is on Ten More Great Seattle Music Videos.




4. Until The Ribbon Breaks - "Romeo" 2013  *I don't love this song, it's aight. I just loved "Perspective" so much, I keep checking back with them. The underwater scene is Claire Danes in the Romeo + Juliet movie circa 1966 with Leonardo Dicaprio.

8. Childish Gambino ft. Chance The Rapper - "The Worst Guys" 2014  *"Fuck it, let's get some babes and some chicken and film a music video at the beach. We'll act like we're surfing and shit, maybe do martial arts on the beach, have some lightup toys, it will be epic!"
                                                     -fake Childish Gambino and Chance The Rapper internet quote




9. Huey Lewis and The News - "Stuck With You" 1986  *Eighties stud meets girl with the biggest dress. This song is still goes.




10. Chet Faker - "Talk Is Cheap" 2014  *This water is frozen, but, it still totally counts. This reminds me of the "Sledgehammer" video.
