Ten More Music Videos with Slow Motion Scenes

1. Kaytranada - "Holy Hole Inna Donut" 2013  Kaytranada will be performing at Decibel Festival's Resident Advisor Showcase on September 24 on the third floor of the EMP Museum. I'm pretty sure his live show isn't this sporty, but I will be sure to let you know.




2. FKA x inc. - "FKA x inc." 2014  She is a total badass. Still can't decide on the FKA Twigs vs. Flying Lotus + Thundercat dilemma on November 18 in Seattle.




3. Sylvan Esso - "Coffee" 2014  I love this song but I still cringe a little when he says "my baby does the hanky panky."




4. How To Dress Well - "And It Was You" 2012  I'm pretty sure this video is about people worshipping a guy who rides a segway?




5. Ella Eyre - "Deeper" 2013  Slow motion dance scenes with fans.




6. Fractures - "Twisted" 2013  (Australia) These guys make great songs, but, they're all total downers.




7. Majid Jordan - "A Place Like This" 2014  This lady keeps getting run into like the chick in Dr. Dre + Snoop Dogg's "Nothin' But A G Thing" (at 3:30), Dre did it better. This guy sounds like he wants to be all Weeknd-y.




8. Phantogram - "When I'm Small" 2011  This is an example of how hair tossing can be a dance move.




9. Method Man + Redman - "Y.O.U." 1999  So excited for our Method Man + Redman show at The Showbox on November 3.




10. Atmosphere - "Bitter" 2014  Slow-motion snowball fights are some Minnesota shit? Props to Atmosphere for being on top of their game.



The beginning of this Atmosphere song reminds me of "Fuck Regrets" by Datkid and Dee Green. No slow-motion in this video, but, they are from Bristol, which is fucking awesome.





The original Seven Music Videos with Slow Motion Scenes can be found here.

Seven Music Videos featuring Adidas

1. Datkid feat. Dee Green - "Fuck Regrets" 2011  *Even though this is a post about Adidas, this video is all about British accents, beats, and Dee Green's De La Soul shirt.

2. Missy Elliott feat. Ms. Jade and Ludacris - "Gossip Folks" 2003  *Missy and her team knew how to make an entertaining music video.

3. Bob Marley and Lauryn Hill - "Turn Your Lights Down Low" 1999  *This is one of the best tracks from the Bob Marley remix-type album Chant Down Babylon.

4. Brother Ali - "Take Me Home" 2007  *Brother Ali, the everyman.

5. Sneaker Pimps - "6 Underground" 1996  *I loved this song, but, this video cheapens the song and it feels cheesy now.

6. RUN-DMC and Aerosmith - "Walk This Way" 1986  *This song helped to push Hip Hop into the mainstream.

7. Hi res feat. Datkid - "Drop Of Poison" 2011 (UK HIP HOP)  *Hi res is wearing Seattle's most popular North Face jacket. Once again, I have a hard time deciding whether or not this song is a novelty or if it is actually good.

Five Reasons Why I Want To Go To Bristol

I have a thing for Bristol, there seems to be something in the water that creates just the kind of art that I love. I shall go drink the water.

1. Massive Attack 

Here is a picture of the two current members of Massive Attack looking as if they are questioning the motives of the photographer.

 

 

My favorite Massive Attack song is "Protection".



 

2. Portishead

It is hard to find words to describe how much I love Portishead, so I will just tell you that I love them.

Here is a video of Portishead at their finest ("Roads" Roseland NYC Live).

I recently learned that Portishead was (and still is) a place near Bristol before it was an incredible band.

3. Banksy

Banksy is only the most famous of the street artists in Bristol. Street art in Bristol has become one of its greatest assets, they even offer tours which focus on Banksy and the others. I think Banksy is great because he created an international phenomenon just by being himself, even if he didn't mean to.

Here is a short documentary on Banksy called B Movie, which appeared as a bonus feature on Exit Through The Gift Shop.

There are tons of Banksy books, but, I am reading this one right now.

4. Tricky

Tricky, formerly of Massive Attack, is one of those artists whose genius most makes me want to drink the Bristol water.

Here is an old favorite Tricky song, "Overcome", off of his amazing Maxinquaye album.

Here is a new favorite Tricky song, "Nothing's Changed", off of his new album False Idols (which I haven't heard yet in its entirety).

5. New Era Bristol Hip Hop

This is Dirty Dike.

For now, Dirty Dike will serve as the prototypical Bristol Hip Hopper (sorry to the rest of you). From watching Dirty Dike videos, I realized that these guys likely party way harder than I ever could. It would, however, be extremely entertaining to see them in action.

Here are two Dirty Dike videos to drive the point home.

"Pork Pie"

"Ten Dike Commandments"

Maybe all this energy is coming from cocaine, but, I have to see this live.

Datkid is another one of Bristol's younger artists. Here he is (on the left) with Dee Green (right).

Here is one of Datkid's music videos in which he shows off his probation ankle bracelet.

One of the main reason I like these Bristol(ian?) artists is because of the beats. I have a ton of respect for these guys and only describe their wacky antics because I think it is part of what makes them special. I also realize that these two are a very small example of what Bristol has to offer. Please help me to find more great Hip Hop from the area if you know how to find it.

Ten Music Videos featuring Singing Into The Camera Shots

1. The Beatles - "Hey Jude" 1968  *As one should expect, this is an extremely great song.

2. Dirty Dike - "Ten Dike Commandments" 2013 (UK HIP HOP)  *Dirty Dike oozes personality and seems like I could never party hard enough to hang out with him. This beat is amazing, his delivery is captivating, and the video is hilarious.

3. Klymaxx - "Meeting In The Ladies Room" 1985  *This is one of the best eighties videos I have ever seen. They even have a mermaid.

4. MORE1 - "On A Mission" 2011 (UK HIP HOP) *I love this beat, I kind of wish it was an instrumental.

5. The Police - "Roxanne" 1978  *My parents loved this band, and I can now appreciate their greatness.

6. Illa J feat. Debi Nova - "Sounds Like Love" 2008  *The Yanceys are a talented family (Captain Obvious strikes again).

7. Datkid - "Home By 8" 2012 (UK HIP HOP)  *I've watched this like 6 times and still can't figure out why I might like it. He has a thuggy UK rapper thing going. He isn't my new favorite rapper but I keep watching what he is doing anyway.

8. Slum Village - "Reppin'" 2012  *New era Slum Village, worth a listen.

9. Wham! - "Everything She Wants" 1984  *I think that this and their Christmas song are the best Wham songs.

10. Q-Tip - "Breathe And Stop" 1999  *Q-Tip is awesome.
