Chi Town Videos

I have a couple of them to share, old and new. This first one is Common and Pharell in a new track titled Announcement. A lot of people criticize Common for several different reasons. Some hate him for being a 'conscious rapper', some hate him for the commercials he's done and claim he's sold out, and some claim he's just not that good. But this is the man that made the track I Used to Love H.E.R. which is still one of my favorite hip hop songs ever, and this song is hot so stop hatin'!




Second we have Kanye with another dope video, this time for the introductory track from Graduation titled 'Good Morning'. This video was released last year but the quality was so poor and since this video is so strong it deserves proper fanfare. 

How many rappers would even think of hiring a contemporary Japanese pop artist like Takashi Murakami to do their album cover, much less a video? That's what makes Kanye such a creative figure in the modern hip hop landscape. He is an innovator and this video is evidence.
