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.

13 More Music Videos with Street Art

I put all the Street Art Music Videos I've found so far on a YouTube playlist for you. #YouTubeNchill


1. Oshun - "Stuck" 2014  These two couldn't be more awe-inspiring. If this video doesn't convince you, their Team Backpack performance, their video for "Protect Your Self" and this interview with The Hundreds will help you love them more.




2. Joey Bada$$ - "Christ Conscious" 2014  Seeing Joey Bada$$ perform this song live may get you closer to believing this could be true.





3. DJ Premier feat. Rakim, Nas, + KRS-One - "Classic (Better Than I've Ever Been)" 2007  DJ Premier, Rakim, Nas, and KRS-One will always be classic (definition - serving as a standard of excellence).




4. Run The Jewels - "Lie, Cheat, Steal" 2015  If you are hoping to learn some life lessons from the Run The Jewels team, let it be their ability to sustain long careers in the music industry. Lying, cheating, and stealing to get to where you want to go will not keep you at the top.




5. Pro Era (Capital STEEZ, Joey Bada$$, + CJ Fly) - "Like Water" 2013  I couldn't be more impressed by the rise of the Pro Era crew. Joey Bada$$ first appeared on my website back in 2013 with his timeless classic, "Waves," on a compilation of Music Videos With Rooftop Scenes.




6. Gangrene (Alchemist + Oh No) feat. Action Bronson - "Driving Gloves" 2015  They are incredible musicians but they will fuck your shit up. Simon Rex/Dirt Nasty is the perfect car rental agent.




7. The Internet - "Get Away" 2015  The Ego Death album is on point.




8. Heltah Skeltah Feat. Originoo Gunn Clappaz - "Leflaur Leflah Eshkoshka" 1996  This is a Where's Waldo graffiti wall spotting that probably belongs in the Music Videos With White Backgrounds list. But I will put Heltah Skeltah on ANY list just because.




9. Aesop Rock - "Freeze" 2003  Soon, underground clinics like this may be our only affordable source of health care; Aesop Rock is the oracle?




10. Selector Dub Narcotic - "Hotter Than Hott" 2016  This K Records gem premiered on Pitchfork. The video reminds me of LCD Soundsystem, Thom Yorke dancing in "Lotus Flower," and Christopher Walken dancing in the Fatboy Slim video.




11. Mad Lion - "Take It Easy" 1994  I'm waiting patiently for the next Mad Lion feature...




12. Kazi + Madlib - "To Be Lost" 2016  According to this 2DopeBoyz article, this song/album (Blackmarket Seminar) was recorded back in 1996 and recently re-released via Below System Records (Netherlands).




13. Metasota - "All Luv" 2016  I was blessed to see Metasota at The Crocodile recently when he opened up for Prof on the TimeBomb tour. He's headlining his own tour this June...
