Videos suck

I accidentally on purpose watched 106&park over the weekend.

Sad.

I have NO clue how music is still a viable career for people, the consumer REALLY cannot find this entertaining

The videos? Mannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

Okay, maybe it’s me…maybe it’s my upbringing or when I grew up; but videos were use to make sense they were entertaining.
The actually complimented the song
Made you get to know the artist

Now?

Mannnnnnnnnnnnnn

Again, videos went with the song that accompanied it:

Count me out (New Edition)
The song was about Ralph (puahahaha “Ralph”) not hanging out with the rest of the fellas cuz he was trying to be with this chick
…Video: The fellas givin’ him shit cuz he’s dissin them to go out with ole girl

Just a Friend (Biz Markie)
Everything he said in the song, he did/was shown in the video…up to the ‘fella tongue kissin his girl in the mowf’

…Even if the video didn’t go directly with the song, the video had a story a premise, beginning, middle and end.

BAD (LL Cool J) had a whole Drug thing…
Everybody get up (Salt n Pepa) had a West side story theme
Michael Jackson’s videos (at least the Thriller and BAD ones) were on a whole different level

Fuk, Thriller had a disclaimer in the beginning and when it came out I had to BEG to be able to stay up to watch it!
BAD the interrupted Prime time TV to play it…fukn had commercials promoting it.

I dunno when the move to have just Ass and tittayballs in every video started.
…and if not that; just showing cars and jewelry

And damn it would be one thing if that’s what Men did to try and get fellas to pay attention; the female artists do the same thing
…even when THEY are the ones that have to show Ass and TTBalls

Stage/live performances remember Women had Male background dancers…Men had Women
(Bell Biv Devoe had hands down the greatest dancers by the way)

I know sex sells but damn, when you go buy the shit you don’t get Buffie the body with it; that ass don’t pour out no speakers or anything.

Fuck remember when you DIDN’T know the people in the videos OTHER than the artists that were performing?

Just like how you didn’t know the producers of a song OR the labels or names of the heads of the labels the album was printed on?
(‘Cept Def Jam and Motown)

Videos.

I’m sayin’ though…they don’t even PLAY the whole video ANYWEHRE they don’t even start it at the beginning

They all look the same, have the same premises. I think it’s about 5

1. The Pool party or Club scene video.

The standard…you must have this video. It shows all your celeb friends…women dressed in next to nothing usually focusing all their attention on 1 or 2 guys
Woman’s variant: they step in the club all eyes on them.

2. The By yo self sexy video.

Either male or female just there by themselves supposedly lookin sexy; showing off their shape or whatever

3. The Girl that gets revenge on her cheating man.

The new standard…man or woman cheats…middle gets caught…end either some violent or supposedly ‘funny’ get back at the end.
blech.

4. The Look at my rides video.

They either just show a ton of cars that the person obviously doesn’t own, they’re racing the cars against another celeb friend or partner…or they’re parked and the person is performing in front of them

5. The look at me dance for no one in particular video.

Gotsta show off the dancing skills….they make a song and this is what you’re supposed to do this to it
This highly choreographed routine…by the way the SAME routine that you’ll see EVERYTHIME the artist performs the song live.

I dunno…maybe, JUST maybe I wouldn’t be able to sum up entire video movement in just 5 concepts if the videos still went with the song and subject.

Wait.

All of the songs ARE about Money, Hoes, Cars, and Drinkin…my bad.

Nevermind.
