Hip Hop is all about making a dollar out of 15 cents. The culture is an outlet for the the marginlized and oppressed masses to express their vision of art and life to the public with the very little resources at their disposal. Those resources are never more evident than when it comes to music videos. The cost of shooting a video can go from extravagant numbers to zero these days. So it's dissapointing when multi-platinum artists continue to push out crews with sub-par rhymes and videos, when they could be showing the people the freedom of creativity that a few million in guarded Swiss banks gives you. It's the equivalent of pushing the people visual soap. Which is what these two videos from, Boyz N Da Hood and USDA are.
The shit makes you ask. "Damn, whatever happened to coming dope?" Lucky there are still a few out there holding it down. Here's one.
And another one.
