Top 10 Videos Of The Week

Creating music videos is a meticulous process that must not be rushed but done at the speed of sound to make sure the public is properly service. As most of the snow melts around the country, this week’s The Wrap Up: Hip-Hop Wired’s Top 10 Videos Of The Week finds most of the honorees braving through the wrath of Brother Hawk because it’s just what they had to do.

Not that the party people aren’t represented this week all the same. (Semi-spoiler alert: the wackiest video you’ve seen this year thus far grabs the #1 spot.) But it’s just something about those brisk weather, hoodie season anthems that can give you the chills. And when you see the actually ice on the ground, it generally conveys the same effect.

And of course, it wouldn’t be an incredible Wrap Up without some ice cream-colored assortment of holding your attention span along the way. One of two rhythm and blues sayers on the list booked not one but five popular models to rake up the views on his clip, and build buzz on a pretty catchy song.

That’s what it’s all about. Listen with your eyes.

10. Young Savage – “Camo N J’s”

Director: Shannon Muir

Simply put, it’s another youngin’ who doesn’t remember Michael Jordan’s playing days but is rapping about his sneaks all the same. That being said, he makes it a beliveable case for himself in his flashy visual.

9. Atmosphere – “Bitter”

Director: Adam J Dunn & Sean Daley

Contrary to what the song’s title says, Slug and Ant turn a Minnesota winter into a sunny affair.

8. Gilbere Forte – “White Lights”

Director: Garrett Danz

Even in the middle of nowhere, there’s always dope rhymes to be kicked.

7. Asher Roth – “Tangerine Girl”

Director: Matt Spicer

This is a video about nothing but it looks cooler than the trash can the polar bear put his toenails in.

6. Rico Love ft. Ludacris, Tiara Thomas & Emjay – “They Don’t Know (Remix)”

Director: Erik White

A definitive, entertaining video well worth the four minutes of your time.

5. Isaiah Rashad – “Heavenly Father”

Director: Eric Swiz

TDE’s ringer harmonizes his prayers and keeps his coat buttoned up extra tight. Which is easier said than done.

4. The Grouch & Eligh ft. Steve Knight – “Fireflies”

Director: Matt Hobbs

The colors and cinematography almost make this one look like Avatar Pt. II. James Cameron where you at?!?

3. Juicy J ft. Chris Brown & Wiz Khalifa – “Talkin’ Bout”

Director: Benny Boom

In case you needed a reminder, Juicy J is a superstar. Hollywood can attest to that. Never mind, Chris Brown’s absence. He was a little preoccupied.

2. Trey Songz ft. Rosa Acosta – “Na Na”

Director: Gil Green & Trey Songz

When ladies of this caliber tell you to workout, you immediately reply “how many pounds?” Also featuring Massy a.k.a. Mankofit, Brie Bella and Nikki Bella aka The Bella Twins and Jazzma Kendrick.

1. Lil Jon & DJ Snake – “Turn Down For What”

Director: Daniel Kwan & Daniel Scheihart

You know how the song makes people act a complete fool? Wait til you push play.
