Ten Music Video featuring Vinyl

1. Gensu Dean feat. Large Professor - "Forever" 2013  That is a stellar stack of records. Hip Hop education training video taught by Large Professor.





2. DJ Krush feat. Esthero - "Final Home" 1999  DJ Krush remains to be one of my (many) favorite artists. Code 4109 is my shit.




3. 14KT - "Blessed" 2012  So many of these Mello Music Group songs/artists are almost there, but,  not there yet. I'm still listening because I know they are on the right track.




4. Sandpeople - "Roll Call" 2007  Some Portland shit. I would love to know the name of this record store and if it's still open because I'm all over it.




5. Akua Naru - "The Backflip" (prod. by Drumkidz + Christian Nink) - 2010  Akua Naru is about traveling around the world, fusing her own style of hip hop with the music she finds along her way; that's fucking awesome.




6. Araless - "Attention" 2014 (SEATTLE MUSIC) Produced by Goldenbeets. Keep an eye out for Araless and the rest of Filthy Fingers United, I will be sure to keep you posted.




7. Statik Selektah feat. Joey Bada$$ + Freddie Gibbs - "Carry On" 2014  The casual yet orchestrated entrance of Joey Bada$$ and Freddie Gibbs reminds me of Kendrick's entrance in "Nosetalgia" (at 1:30) with Pusha T. I love that shit.




8. Showbiz + A.G. - "Soul Clap" 1992  Fat Joe be like, "can I get a Soul Clap?"




9. Slimkid3 + DJ Nu-Mark - "Bom Bom Fiya" 2014  These guys have been making great music for more than 20 years, the pattern continues.




10. Def Dee feat. El Da Sensei - "Yeah" 2014  Def Dee pays homage to vinyl in the latest video from his new release, "Deja Vu."

Ten Smoky Music Videos

1. Slimkid3 + DJ Nu-Mark - "I Know, Didn't I" 2014  This instantly became one of my new favorite songs, their new self-titled album was released on Delicious Vinyl today.




2. The Jets - "You Got It All" 1986  I finally forgave my sisters for cutting up the cover art from my Jets tape to use as a Barbie poster. It's initiation of dream sequence smoke.




3. Nemo Achida - "Big Lights, Deep Shades" 2011  I have yet to love any other Nemo Achida song.




4. Method Man and Redman - "How High" 1995  This is from The Show Soundtrack, not the great movie with the same name. My team at ReignCity has a Method Man + Redman show at The Showbox on November 3.




5. Cypress Hill feat Method Man and Redman - "Cisco Kid" 2001  This one IS from the great movie How High starring Method Man and Redman. B-Real of Cypress Hill will also be at the Method Man + Redman show at The Showbox.




6. Taco - "Puttin' On The Ritz" 1982  Seems crazy that someone would put Blackface in their video in the eighties, this is the original uncensored version that still contains the ugly stuff. Great song though.




7. Raury - "God's Whisper" 2014  Fun with smoke bombs, this is yet another Pigeons + Planes find.




8. Harry Clean feat. Dave B, JusMoni, YK Ari- "For The Love" 2014  (SEATTLE MUSIC)  I like the short film style of this one by Seattle's Detooz Films, they are constantly progressing, which is awesome. Plus, there's Barney and 2Pac.




9. Ron Contour + Factor - "Wondrous Things" 2012  The smoke is for the bees man, this video is very "Smashing Pumpkins - 1979."




10. Pyramid Vritra - "Eleven12" 2014  One of the latest Stones Throw finds.
