10 Car & Driver Music Videos Part IV

I learned a ton while making this screen shot photoshop collage; like when to let go and release something even if it's not my favorite thing I've ever made. They can't all be Outer Spacecruise. 

1. Danger Mouse feat. Run The Jewels + Big Boi - "Chase Me" 2017  This is a rad project for this squad to get into; not many rappers get to make something as high profile as this. They've all done a great job of working their asses off to get to the point where they get the major motion picture paychecks. #tryharderitworks




2. Zack Villere ft. J'Von - "Minivan" 2017  Taking minivans on sweet jumps is pretty cool Zack, I think you've finally tapped into coolness that you had in you this whole time...or maybe it's all that time you've been spending with J'Von rubbing off on you. Just kidding. For real though, I love seeing these two work together; check out the song after the video if you want to hear more.






3. Like - "Miss Me With That" 2016  I've already severely overplayed this song and I'm okay with that. "Miss Me With That" appeared on The New Hotness Vol. 1 back in January because my passion for the song couldn't wait seven months until I found more videos with cars and/or driving.




4. Tei Shi - "How Far" 2017  If you're reading this, you're having a much better day than Tei Shi (in this video anyway). For all things Tei Shi, check out this interview with Stereogum or this live performance of the song that first caught my attention, "Bassically." Shoutout to Tei Shi for being the Queen Of The Sausage Fest that is this list.




5. Dwynell Roland - "Devils" 2016  MINNEAPOLIS MUSIC  I posted this back in March on The New Hotness Vol. 4 after geeking out (in the best way) over seeing P.O.S. hit Dwynell with his car in this video. My second favorite Dwynell Roland song is "Eva Change" produced by the tour homie Last Word in case you were wondering.




6. Rejjie Snow - "All Around The World" 2015  This video works as a "What Not Do Do With Your Convertible" ad. For example, any asshole who smokes cigarettes in a car with a kid deserves to be pulled over, even if it is a convertible. He even has the kid lipsync weed lyrics, an interesting choice Mr. Snow. Another interesting choice is having Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis' daughter, Lily Rose Depp costar in the video. All cigarette shaming and name dropping aside, this song is dope.




7. The Raconteurs - "Steady As She Goes" 2006  They must have had a blast making this video; I kinda think that might be what life is all about. Shoutout to Jack White for being Jack White. He appeared on CBS recently in a story about his label, Third Man Records if you aren't familiar with his legacy.




8. illa J - "7 Mile" 2017  I love the effects in this video; they took the visuals to a whole other level. Bandcamp recently did a feature on illa J if you're interested in learning more.




9. Metasota - "No Money, No Problem" 2017  MINNEAPOLIS MUSIC  Yes you can make a music video with your friend while driving in their car; I sincerely wish that more underground artists would do this very thing.




10. J. Cole - "Everybody Dies" 2016  May I present a video of J. Cole watching for cops while rapping on top of a moving truck; it totally worked.

Ten More Music Videos w/ Backwards Scenes

1. Until The Ribbon Breaks feat. Homeboy Sandman - "Perspective" 2013  *This song is a masterpiece. My latest favorite Homeboy Sandman song is "Mind Vs. Matter" on L'Orange's The Orchid Days album.

2. Cris Prolific feat. Illa J - "Voyage" 2010  *I freakin' love this song. Cris Prolific is a Belgian producer and Illa J is is one of the good ones.




3. Cory Jreamz - "Alive" 2013  *I think this song is interesting, but, kind of a mess.




4. Jypsy Jeyfree - "Jypsy Train" 2013  *Whoa, her feather looks crazy when the wind is blowing.




5. Kingdom Crumbs - "Pick Both Sides Of My Brain" 2013  *I can't wait to see what Tay Sean, Mikey Nice, Jerm D, and Jarv Dee do next. Here's the link to one of their great Live on KEXP performances.

6. Marsha Ambrosius - "Stronger Than Pride" 2014  *Jeru sample with a Sade name, that's a bold maneuver. This is one of the Floetry ladies.

7. Kyla La Grange - "The Knife" 2014  *I can't hate this song, it's just so poppin' fresh.




8. After The Fire - "Der Kommissar" 1982  *She takes her lipstick off with her lipstick; it's either a cool trick or backwards scene.




9. Porter Ray - "Float" 2014  *This has a car driving backwards AND smoking in reverse. Porter Ray is part of the New Era of Seattle Hip Hop.




10. DJ Krush feat. Deborah Anderson - "Skin Against Skin" 1997  *This is definitely NOT the real music video, but, the song is great. "Skin Against Skin" is on DJ Krush's Milight album.

Freshly Rapped Dilla Beats

Even though I respect these guys, I must say that they are unable to add anything to this beat. They actually make me want to seek out the instrumental.

3. J.Rocc - "Play This Also" 2011  *This song sounds like one long intro.

4. Jane's Addiction - "Been Caught Stealing" 1990  *This was the one Jane's Addiction video I remember seeing on MTV.

5. RZA - "Grits" 2003  *This was the song I overplayed off of RZA's The Birth Of A Prince album.

6. Joyo Velarde - "Take You Home" 2009  *The first lady of Quannum can bring so much to the songs she sings in. I feel like this song is almost where it could have been. She is rad.

*This is my favorite Joyo Velarde song. Lyrics Born feat. Joyo Velarde - "Love Me So Bad" 2003

 

 

7. Shannon - "Let The Music Play" 1983  *This song is a timeless classic, even though it sounds pretty eighties.

 

 

 

8. Illa J - "We Here" 2008  *Posthumously released J Dilla beats. This song is pretty good but it didn't make it on my Spotify list (combination truth and metaphor).

 

 

 

9. Grizzly Bear - "Gun Shy" 2013  *This video is pretty weird and great.

 

 

 

10. Sweet Tee - "On The Smooth Tip" 1988  *This video serves as a day in the life of an eighties rap lady.

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.

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.

Ten Great J Dilla Productions

2. J Dilla feat. Illa J - "Won't Do" 2006  *This video is already in the moving clouds or fog category but no Dilla list would be complete without this song.

7. J Dilla - "Make'em NV" 2003  *Beat nasty face.

 

8. Jaylib feat. Talib Kweli - "Raw Shit" 2003  *They were a great team.

9. Heavy D feat. Q-Tip - "Listen" 1999  *Produced by J Dilla. YouTube credits are wrong and yet, the song is so right.

10. DJ Cam feat. Cameo - "Love Junkee" (J Dilla Remix) 2004  *Dj Cam and J Dilla in one song, one of those great moments in music.
