1. DJ Shadow + Cut Chemist - "Product Placement" 2001 *These two the kings of Product Placement. Like their Brainfreeze album, Product Placement is a mix of all 45s, this one is made up of old commercials and jingles.
2. Zuke Saga x J'Von - "Meltdpzza" 2014 (SEATTLE MUSIC) These guys amaze me and not just because they burned McDonald's products in their video.
3. The Rolling Stones - "Waiting On A Friend" 1981 I love that this video exists, there's a Miller Lite in it...and some tight white pants. This is from an era when they were still cool.
4. Got A Girl - "Did We Live Too Fast" 2014 This video from the Dan The Automator side project, Got A Girl, has ads for third eye surgery. It's perfectly weird, kind of reminds me (in the best way) of his album with Lovage, Music To Make Love To Your Old Lady By.
5. OCnotes - "Fish + Chips" 2014 (SEATTLE MUSIC) OCnotes with the Proctor Silex Toaster, the Mystery Coke machine, Pike Place Market, and a magic microwave.
6. Prof - "Gampo" 2012 In this video for my favorite Prof song, he pays tribute to Jameson and PBR. There's also a miniature giraffe and some chocolates.
7. Def Dee - "C'mon Now" 2014 (SEATTLE MUSIC) This video is like a commercial for Seattle and it has a Coca Cola machine at the beginning.
8. SZA - "Julia/(Tender)" 2014 Wishing that SZA hadn't played in Seattle the same night as Mos Def and DJ Shadow + Cut Chemist. I made a great choice with Shadow and Cut Chemist's Renegades Of Rhythm Tour but I would have loved to have seen SZA. Due to the Beats headphones in the sand, this may actually be a really good commercial.
10. Quasimoto - "Catchin' The Vibe" 2014 This has cans of Karhu (a Finnish beer) as product placement. Plus this dude is slanging his product from a shopping cart. All hail Lord Quas. I would love to see Madlib back in Seattle someday soon, maybe the Madvillainy 2 tour?

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.
