Scream if you love Hip Hop…
These days there are very few times I check for music videos… very… few… like… damn near never…
Fortunately, there are cats out there fighting the good fight and producing what my musically elitist ass considers “good hip hop”… Phonte’s “The Life of Kings” video embodies all that is good with the music form… also, it includes some of my favorite things…
- Top 10 Producer – 9th Wonder – check!
- Reunion of a pair of my hip hop faves… – 9th & Te’ (which could go in the boutdamntime category… but that’s another discussion…) – check!
- Fave New Artist – Big K.R.I.T. – check!
- Use of a DOPE ass song by J.R. Bailey (Heaven On Earth, from his Just Me N’ You album…) – check!
- Nice twist to keep the video appealing… – is that Te’s momma spitting!?! – check!
…but enough about why I dig the video… check it out…
