Ten Music Videos With The Whole Posse

1. Joey Bada$$ - "Big Dusty" 2014  The Pro Era team is still killin' it, Joey especially. The dude at  :06 is a Jarv Dee doppelganger.



Pause and see what I mean...


2. BADBADNOTGOOD feat. Leland Whitty - "UVM" 2012  It's hard to watch this without pausing for cereal.




3. Intelligent Hoodlum - "The Posse (Shoot Em Up)" 1993  This is the first track on the Posse Soundtrack. I have a VHS tape with Intelligent Hoodlum performing this song Live on BET (and many other early 90's music videos), it's one of my most prized possessions.




4. Seinabo Sey - "Younger" 2014  Swedes have the chillest parties. I'm looking forward to hearing and seeing what she does with the buzz she created with this song.




5. ILOVEMAKONNEN - "Tuesday" 2014  This song always makes me think of Stop Biting! Tuesdays at Lo-Fi.




6. Queen Latifah - "Just Another Day" 1993  It must have been quite a neighborhood spectacle when they rolled in the lift for the video shoot. It's an advanced posse shot.



Some Seattle artists covered this song last year...

Mic Flont, Gabriel Teodros, Ka.lil, + Jillthy - "Just Another Day" 2013  It's a pretty great cover and I love to see music celebrating our city. Eric Miller makes pretty great videos.




7. Lords Of The Underground - "Neva Faded" 1994  Backwards down the step twirl skills on lock. More Rappers Behind Fences from the Keepers Of The Funk album.




8. Dead Prez - "Hip Hop"2000  This is some classic shit right here. Dead Prez will be at Nectar Lounge on April 24 with Grayskul.





9. Kendrick Lamar - "i" 2014  It's a happy Kendrick song! I think it's great that he's mixing it up, that's what life is all about.




10. Homeboy Sandman - "Anything" 2014  He's such a charismatic dude that he doesn't even need a good beat to keep my attention.
