The Wrap Up: Hip-Hop Wired's Top 10 Videos Of The Week (12/27/13)

As the snow continues to fall and the best videos of the year are already in the history books, rappers don’t really have much to aim or gain going into the Top 10 Videos Of The Week.

Like Jadakiss smugly pointed out the other day, the music industry endures a virtual shutdown during the fourteen day period that intersects Christmas and New Year’s.

With most of the fireworks already bursted in the aforementioned year-end Wrap-Up, the last weekly visual dedication of 2013 still saved a bit of punch to close things out. Hip-Hop always manges to take care of their own and you’ll find the most timely memorial of all-time included in the list. Mobb Deep also saw their early 00s influences being brought back to life in R&B form and let’s just say a bit of comedic relief was crowned king this time around.

Next time we have this encounter, it will be 2014.

See you on the other side, friends and family. Enjoy the videos.

10. SD – “Don’t Believe Me”

Director: AZae Production

Sometimes it’s all about how the film is shot that makes it a winner. Ever seen goons in high-def and slow motion while being rolled in reverse? If not, you have now.

9. Truck North – “B*tches Brew”

Director: Aaron “Yikes Lee” Ford

Khyrsis didn’t direct the video but he laid the soundbed for Truck Nizzy to paint the vocal picture of what you see here.

8. Chevy Woods – “Sledgren”

Director: Taylor Gang

Take away the laser show and you don’t have much of a video. When added however, you have very street clip from a very street LP.

7. Jim Jones ft. Jeremih – “Nasty Girl”

Director: Capo

One glance at the song’s title and you’ll know J&J didn’t scour Harvard’s campuses to look for their Bangin’ Candy. Or maybe they did? Pow.

6. King L – “F**k Is These Ni**az”

Director: WhoisHiDef

Chicago’s beautiful skyline and King L’s dirty raps make for a watchable pairing in this visual.

5. Wale ft. Meek Mill – “Heaven’s Afternoon”

Director: Jon J

The Gifted brought you through the ghetto without riding ’round. So did this video.

4. Mack Wilds – “Henny”

Director:

The new R&B prince gives us a helluva learning in a local NY strip club. Yes!

3. Capital Steez – “47 Piiirates”

Director: Juan Medrano

Karmaloop, L-R-G and ProEra all eulogize the late Steelo with this video posted on the one-year anniversary of his passing.

1. ItsTheReal – “Jews For Jesus Piece”

Director: Rex Arrow Films

Whether you had a crummy Christmas a beautiful Boxing Day or a very Merry Hannaukuh, Jeff and Eric of ItsTheReal.com definitely can brighten up your spirits that much more with this one.
