Ten Music Videos featuring Basketball Scenes

Here's a link to a Youtube playlist so you can YouTube n' Chill out.


1. Bell Biv DeVoe - "She's Dope!" 1991  "Hip Hop smoothed out, you know what I mean"  -Michael Bivins of Bell Biv DeVoe, New Edition, and Biv 10 Records.




2. Fu-Schnickens feat. Shaq - "What's Up Doc?" 1994  Shaq is the "hooper hyper".




3. New Kids On The Block - "Please Don't Go Girl" 1988  Not cool now, cool for me in 1988.




4. Aaliyah - "Back And Forth" 1994  She remains to be an inspiration to us all...




5. Bahamadia - "3 The Hard Way" 1996  Bahamadia has been doin it since...




6. Jeremy Jordan - "The Right Kind Of Love" 1992  Really cheesy song from the Beverly Hills 90210 soundtrack. There is a whisper rap section, I wouldn't recommend watching it though, it's not cool, even a little bit.




7. Gang Starr featuring K-Ci and JoJo - "Royalty" 1998  Thanks again to Guru who shared so much great music with us while he was alive. The music lives on.




8. De La Soul - "Stakes Is High" 1996  I love De La Soul, this is the title track one of the most incredible albums of all time.




9. Metallica - "Nothing Else Matters" 1992  This is here to show that basketball scenes are not just for Hip Hop videos. Plus, it's cute that they have a slow jam; it's actually my favorite Metallica song.



10. Salt 'N Pepa - "Shoop" 1994  This song is still awesome. Salt, Pepa, and Spinderella are some of the most inspiring women EVER.

*This was not intended to be a compilation of nineties songs, it just worked out that way.

Ten Music Videos featuring Motorcycles

1. Eve and Gwen Stefani - "Let Me Blow Your Mind" 2001  *I can't believe Gwen leaves her fabulous car in the intersection to ride on the back of a 4-Wheeler, I guess she can probably afford to get another one. Gwen and Eve are taking part in shenanigans.



2. James Blake - "Retrograde" 2013  *James Blake is always best when played loudly to better hear the intricacies of his music.



3. Patra feat. Yo-Yo - "Romantic Call" 1994   *2Pac is in this video! Also contains people riding illegally in convertibles, dogs, hanging laundry, bell-bottoms guy, and fierce dance moves.

4. Jody Watley - "Don't You Want Me?" 1987  *I love the sudden rainstorm, the choice of loverboy, and the innovative use of fans in this video.



5. Eddy Grant - "Electric Avenue" 1982  *The motorcycle is definitely one of the main characters in this video.



6. Santigold - "Disparate Youth" 2012   *This video makes me want to start a music video rating system and give this one top marks in every category.



7. The Knife - "Full Of Fire" 2013   *You may have heard of shock rappers (like Odd Future), this could be called a shock music video.



8. Aaliyah - "If Your Girl Only Knew" 1996   *I once saw Rahzel at a South Lake Tahoe casino do this song solo. I think this is one of her best songs.



9. The Fugees - "Fu-Gee-La" 1996  *This video and album cemented their classic status.



10. Gang Starr feat. Big Shug and Freddie Foxxx - "Militia" 1998  *This might be the only video in which I have seen one of those tall wicker chairs, plus, there is a ninja motorcycle chick that kicks Guru through a window.
