Fourteen More Music Videos with Public Transportation

Here's ALL the Music Videos w/ Public Transportation I've found so far. #YouTubeNchill

1. J. Cole - "False Prophets" 2016  He used the beat for Joey Bada$$'s "Waves" and Joey wore it better.





2. Bambu - "Minimum Wage" 2014  I love that Bambu educates with his art, he gets it.





3. Ghostpoet - "Off Peak Dreams" 2015  I was in Shoreditch, London for 9 days and it wasn't enough time; I will be back as soon as I possibly can. Ghostpoet first appeared on my website back in 2013, moments after I discovered his "Meltdown" track.





4. Little Dragon - "Underbart" 2014  This is from the Nabuma Rubberband album; worth a listen but it's way less magical for me than their previous albums.




5. Axel F. (J.Rocc + MED) feat. Pok + Strong Arm Steady - "Superman RMX" 2014  I love superhero shit, I hope J.Rocc is careful with his cape; the world needs him.




6. Kool + Käss  - "Pleasance (WDGAF)" 2013  It's hard not to like artists that dgaf.




7. Micall Parknsun - "Land Of The Lost" 2013 (UK HIP HOP) This UK artist seems kind of Seattle.




8. Slick Devious - "Draped Up"  2013  PORTLAND MUSIC  One of Portland's weirdest; this is a huge compliment. My intro to Slick Devious was via the "Paint Soup" album with Grape God.




9. Rapsody - "The Man" 2015  She's dope. I've been fortunate enough to see her a few times in the last year with 9th Wonder. I always think of "Welcome To Jamrock" when I read Jamla Records.





10. Dex Amora x Goldenbeets (ft. Scarlet Parke) - "What Do Ai Say" 2015  SEATTLE MUSIC “I don’t like writing in the booth. I like writing on the Metro, actually. It’s kind of habit now. When I first got out here, that’s what I was doing, so it kind of stuck with me. I’m more comfortable on the back of the Link with my headphones on, writing something.”  Seattle Weekly Interview




11. Brandy feat. Timbaland - "Who Is She 2 U" 2004  While researching this collaboration, I learned about another genre of music I missed, illbient music...according to the legends of Wiki, Brandy and Timbaland were experimenting with it. I still don't like putting music in a labelled box.




12. Flying Lotus - "Coronus, The Terminator" 2015  Flying Lotus is one of the most inspiring people on the planet.




13. Substantial feat. Precious Joubert - "The Sub Way" 2017 (prod. Marcus D)  This song (and a 4 panel color poster) can be found within Substantial's latest album, The Past Is Always Present in the Future.




14. Kris Kross - "I Missed The Bus" 1992  Pretty sure I got this cassette from BMG Music Service, I still have it. #cassettesareback Shoutout to the late Chris Kelly for leaving us with so much great entertainment.

Ten Great Live Performance Videos Part III

1. Filthy Fingers United Cassette Release Party 2014  Incredibly proud to say that this was the first show I ever booked in The Crocodile Back Bar. Diogenes is to FFU as Peanut Butter Wolf is to Stones Throw. I would love to help the 50+ Filthy Fingers United members be able to quit their day jobs to make music. They release a monthly themed compilation that I post on the ReignCity website on the 20th of every month.




2. Madlib Makes A Beat w/ Sony's MVR - "LA To Tokyo" 2014  I haven't seen Madlib live since Neumos 2007, that's way too long. I have only great memories of the show, but according to this article from The Stranger it was shitty.




3. Ol Dirty Bastard On Yo! MTV RAPS 1995?  We miss you ODB.




4. FKA Twigs - "Hide" 2014  This is one of my favorite videos of all time. It's a bummer that the little kid had peed his pants for his YouTube debut.  They filmed the visuals in Aztec ruins, which is fucking awesome. The percussion getting a bit wonky is part of why it is so great. I also appreciate the KEXP version.




5. Homeboy Sandman + Paul White - "Wade In The Water" 2014  Homeboy Sandman is one of my favorite rappers. My ReignCity team got to host his January 23 Bellingham show with Aesop Rock, Rob Sonic, DJ Abilities, and Dark Time Sunshine for the Hail Mary Mallon Tour. It was one of the best days ever.





6. Grape God - "Time Travel Television" 2014  Very proud to say that I brought some of Portland's most interesting artists to The Crocodile Back Bar on February 8. Grape God brought Slick Devious, Renaissance Coalition, and Soopah Eype up with him. Super genius OCnotes performed as well. I love that they used live footage and made it into Time Travel Television.




7. Brandy, MC Lyte, Yo-Yo, and Queen Latifah Are Still Down - "Live at BET Hip Hop Awards 2014" These Queens are still amazing. The audience shots are pretty great too.



8. Daughter - "Youth" NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert 2013  The original is a great song, but Budo's Remix of the song is incredible.








9. Shabazz Palaces - "Live On KEXP" 2014 (SEATTLE MUSIC) The Black Constellation is light years ahead of the rest.




10. Fink - "Warm Shadow" 2013  I got to see them at their show at The Crocodile back in October. I had never heard their music before and it was probably one of the best shows I've ever seen. "Warm Shadow" was featured on Walking Dead.




Here's the link to the original Ten Incredible Live Performance Videos and here's the link to the second.

Ten Music Videos With White Backgrounds

Full YouTube playlist of ALL the White Background Music Videos I've found so far. 

1. Janelle Monae and Erykah Badu - "Q.U.E.E.N." 2013  *These ladies are true queens.




2. Grimes - "Vanessa" 2011  *Even though this video is kind of frightening, I think this song is amazing.

4. Brandy feat. MC Lyte, YoYo, and Queen Latifah - "I Wanna Be Down (Remix)" 1994  *Powerful nineties women united to remind me that I prefer the original.



5. Salt 'N Pepa - "Shake Your Thang" 1988  *Contains rad eighties dancing.



6. Diverse feat. Lyrics Born and RJD2 - "Explosive" 2003  *I had never seen this video before today. Even though Lyrics Born and RJD2 were both making great music at the time this song came out, this song is not that great. This video contains ping pong.



7. Craig Mack feat. Notorious B.I.G., Mack, Rampage, LL Cool J, and Busta Rhymes - "Flava In Ya Ear (Remix)" 1994  *This is one of those good remixes.
