Nas & Damian Marley – Patience (video)

Posted in Artists, Music Videos on February 13th, 2011 by Hyphen

Incredible new visuals from Nabil Elderkin and the Distant Relatives.  “Patience” is found on one of two albums Lupe mentioned as his favorites of 2010 in our interview, and I must agree.  I remember hyping this album up and then being surprised when people didn’t generally rank it as high as I did.  It’s going to go down as one of the more underrated projects of the last decade.

Sidenote: how salty does Kanye have to be after seeing this?  Nabil is virtually his in-house director and he was sitting on this gem that would have been perfect for My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy aesthetics…

K’Naan – Waving Flag (Celebration Mix) (video)

The official song of the 2010 World Cup gets a more universal remix and a dope video from Nabil Elderkin.  I wish I was headed to South Africa, but I’m already scheming on Brazil 2014…

Kanye West ft. Mr. Hudson & Kid Cudi – Paranoid (official video)

Posted in Artists, Music Videos on June 4th, 2009 by Hyphen

Ok, so I like the official version of the video more than the bootleg that leaked, but I dunno…still doesn’t do a ton for me.  Rihanna’s Aneesa meets Cruella de Vil look just isn’t hot to me and the action poses she strikes throughout are kind of cringe-worthy.  I suppose that’s what they were going for.

I do like the nightie lingerie outfit though…I approve of that.  The alternate mix of the song is cool too, though it’s only slightly different than the album version (my current ringtone).
