Nowadays it seems that film clips especially in the hip hop, rap, rnb music scene are lacking creativity and individuality. What happened to the crazy, outrageous, story line filled, epic film clips that took the audience into a journey along with their song, it entertained music lovers with new ways of dancing, jaw dropping dance moves or something visually that would put you in a trance. What happened to the Missy Elliot dancing videos or the Micheal Jackson movie type clip. It seems that nowadays all film clips do is put a girl, cars and alcohol into a film clip and your done. Its like they are catering only for the artist to have fun than those actually watching the film clip. However because of the lack of creative film clips those that are different or are actually creative to me get highly acclaimed. This post will show a few different film clips that i absolutely love because they are different, creative and absolutely random.
Radar Detector- Darwin Deez
Cousins - Vampire Weekend
Vampire Weekend are a creative band with awesome film clips nearly all of the film clips they have at the moment are great because they are so vastly different, yet engaging and random all at the same time. They are unconventional which i love yet simple in what they do in their film clips. Definitely check out this band and their music because their film clips takes their music to a whole new enjoyable level.
Here It Goes- Ok Go
Now this is definitely one of my favorite film clips of all time. Why? you may ask. Well look at it, this film clip is beyond simple, its four guys on a treadmill, yet so entertaining. I love how they do the different movements and dance actions on the treadmill all in sync and everything. I aspire to one day try and do everything they did in this film clip with the jumping and ducking and everything. Its creative without a doubt and so out of the box which is why i love it.
All of Lady Gagas film clips. Lady Gaga has to be the only one that has maximum entertainment consistently with her different film-clips. All her film-clips are usually interwoven and connected with a time line that carries on throughout the songs. Her outrageous costumes and quirky style add to the impact and creativity of the film-clips. Her film clips are usually lengthy like Michael Jacksons clips. If you think about it the anticipation built up for the "Telephone" film clip with Beyonce is similar to the build up of Michael Jacksons "Thriller" film-clip. Lady gaga manages to make random things in her film clips entertaining such as making a sandwich. I especially love her ability to effective continue the story through the different film clips while maintaining and differentiating the different songs as their own.
Now i know that there are many more creative film clips however these are a few favorite of mine nowadays. It would be awesome if RnB & Hip Hop artists stepped it up as well and made some more creative and different film clips.

Good Vibes Countdown- 1 more day!
Good Vibrations is tomorrow and the lineup has changed with The Killers pulling out from tomorrows gig, which is absolutely devo! Though there are many more artists that are performing that easily make up for it.
Gym Class Heroes is also set to perform which i am pretty stoked for, because they have a few good songs and they seem like they would be heck on stage. One of my fav songs of theres is the cookie jar song!
Okay so Art Vs Science is going to go absolutely off! Especially with the song "Parlez-Vous Francais?"

Jenifer Lopez on ELLE
Jenifer Lopez looks hot in these photos for ELLE. The last shot is my favourite shot because its black and white, thus demanding and her pose in the shot is a good angle for her body, and shows the clothing so well as she successfully uses her surroundings.
