Ha! I did it you non-believing bastards! I found an artsy Hip-Hop vid done in the last decade! Booyaakaa SHOT!
I'm joking...kinda. Trying to sort through recent Hip-Hop vids--to find that rare gem--can be a daunting task. You'd figure popular music would necessitate popular artists having a halfway decent clip. Not so. [NOTE: You almost had me post A Tribe Called Quest's "Electric Relaxation" video. I really like that one.] I'm making a serious effort to stay away from "golden era" vids. I'm trying to incorporate more recent vids into these Art-Hop eps. I don't want you to think that I'm some Hip-Hop elitist/Golden-ager who thinks that all contemporary Hip-Hop sucks. Nope. Not me. I only hate 75% of modern Hip-Hop. Ha!
Speaking of which, I like Tribe. I like Q-Tip. I like this vid. It proves you can do a lot (artistically) without having to do too much. It also features my ex-Thing Thing, Norah Jones.
Yeah. I'd rather not talk about our (me and NorNor's) relationship. Those wounds are still fresh.
Just watch the video.
