Music Videos....

How come they never follow the story line of the song?! I find it disappointing when a sick ass rhyme is made and the video has nothing to do with the lyrics.

Take Kid Cudi's - Day N Nite for example, it took this video a year to come out after the single release!! I mean that was plenty of time to come up on something better than this!!

Maybe it's because I have an active imagination but I'm always picturing a something better than the music video itself. :ermm:

most songs dont have a story but a theme to them. and its usually the directors interpretation of that story/theme.

^^ I feel you on that, but I think the artist should have a little more direction when it comes to production of a vid. I liked the Puff Daddy videos back then, I'm not saying big budget is what has to be done but it would be nice if could see something with a little more substance.

Rappers aren't entertainers anymore, that's my belief. That art died out a long time ago and everyone is for self. The material needs in a video seem to outweigh truth and fun hip hop once had.

That's why I love them old Death Row videos, cause they were on point with the lyrics...

because real hip hop died in the mainstream. you cant make a story based video with a bunch of rappers talking about materialistic things and dumb dance routines.

^^ Very true... I wanna get in my time machine and relive the 90's, fuck you 90's babies

is it me or is that sometimes watching a music video makes you like the song more?

 

[The Visualizer]

^^ I agree... I think that's why some of the mainstream songs blow up so big, they have a catchy chorus and eye candy, people eat it up.
