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 Music Videos featuring Dolls
1. Tyler, The Creator - "VCR" 2010 *This is exactly what one should expect Tyler would do with a doll.
2. Strange U - "Plastique" 2011 (UK HIP HOP) *Whoa, this video is awesome. The song is about how everything is made of plastic now, even people.
3. Hole - "Doll Parts" 1994 *I liked Courtney Love so much more when she looked like herself. This song and most of the Live Through This album are still great.
4. Mariah Carey feat. Nicki Minaj - "Up Out My Face" 2010 *I'm pretty embarrassed that I like this song. When I first heard this Nicki was still a novelty, I had not heard her ridiculous (in a bad way) Pink Friday album that came as a huge disappointment after some of her collaborations in which her verses outshone the main artist. My affection for Nicki is in the past.
5. Madvillain - "Strange Ways" (Song 2004 / Video 2011) *This is from the 2011 Stones Throw video contest, I love the mini records in the mini studio.
6. Mayer Hawthorne - "One Track Mind" 2010 *This video is very much like the 2007 Ryan Gosling movie Lars and the Real Girl.
7. inc. - "Black Wings" 2013 *The guy who is singing sounds like Brett from Flight of the Conchords, but, this guy is serious. To be clear, I think the Flight of the Conchords guys are hilarious. Apart from the weird vocal style, I think the rest of this song is pretty interesting. This video also has chains, fire, chickens, a goat, and a close-up of a horse's nose.
8. Jane's Addiction - "Classic Girl" 1990 *This video seems like drugs.
9. Esthero - "Never Gonna Let You Go" 2012 *I thought Esthero was cool because of the song she did with DJ Krush called "Final Home", (I don't think the linked video is the official music video but still great) this song is not nearly as cool as that song. I probably wouldn't ever listen to this song again, but, it is better than a lot of other music.
10. Lyrics Born - "I Like It, I Love It" 2008 *I feel like this could have a record setting number of costume changes for an underground Hip Hop video. Lyrics Born and the rest of the Quannum crew put on a great show. I don't find myself listening to their music that much anymore, but I still think they are great.
2. Strange U - "Plastique" 2011 (UK HIP HOP) *Whoa, this video is awesome. The song is about how everything is made of plastic now, even people.
3. Hole - "Doll Parts" 1994 *I liked Courtney Love so much more when she looked like herself. This song and most of the Live Through This album are still great.
