IDK, Red Nose is my favorite video Liquid 9 has done.

And honestly, the film language in all of Tech's videos is similar. His videos are typically high-contrast, well lit, and more cinematic than the flash of other rap videos.

There's a substantial amount of setup in the videos. The Strangeulation Cypher video is, in my opinion, the most technically interesting video that's come from Strange yet.

A lot of the spacing of the "characters" in multiple scenes was done with great care. That's a difficult continuity to keep up with, moving characters in a film within multiple levels of the same visual-world space.

Never thought of that aspect with the cypher video
Red Nose was visual candy, and I agree with it being favorited.
I'm just happy and stunned that all these videos are already produced, and not something where an album has been out and 6 months later a video comes with it

I've always thought Tech's vids were good. Even if I didn't agree with the songs all the time, the videos were always decent.

I can't think of an example of a video I thought was just... bad.

The cypher video might be my favorite.

Yeah song selection to videos have been a little frustrating. 6 and 7's I thought should have had delusional, KOD I thought in the trunk, but at least with this album he has videos done, and em and tech already talking about a vid for speedom.

this...

Delusional was probably the dopest track on that whole album minus Strangeland which was FIRE and didn't get nearly enough hype or push as it should have... would've been a perfect visual IMO.

hell even Fuck Food with T-Pain and Wayne (as much as I dislike dude) and Pornographic with 40 and Snoop would've been beneficial exposure wise.

I feel the visual choices after Bout Ta Bubble (which wasn't pushed nearly enough as it should have been) haven't been a strong point at all although their approach this time around seems to be a lot more promising and after hearing the premiere with Tech and Em on Sway, I doubt it's the last that we'll see of the two making material together... including a visual for Speedom.

They've had Liquid 9 since 2009 doing their videos, so even if they've gone in-house, they've been having a production department do their work for years.
Gotcha. Props for the info. The strangeulation cypher is one of the best videos they have put out. I still like Red Nose the best, definitely had the best production value out of all Strange videos. Straight out the gate is another well produced video. I still think they have been stepping up their game recently. Maybe more money being sunk into the videos? Idk, but the quality has gone up.

It's gonna be dope to see a hood video finally, for Hood Go Crazy.. Looking forward to that and On the Bible. I'll be shocked if Speedom gets a video. U was shocked enough he was able to finally get Em on a track, let alone get him to shoot a video.

Pretty sure the leak is only a matter of time now, it's out there someone just has to not care about their job.
