even the most supposedly ballin rappers will shoot cheap ass videos
you can have wayne, ross, and snoop all in the same song.... and the video will be black and white... on a white soundstage with two rented cars (models a year out of date).... and the rappers will just look at the camera head-bobbing while the other guy spits
the potential for the music video is overlooked in every genre, but in rap it's the most laughable.

both and its not just the locations its the lack of creativity, like they either in the club throwin money at strippers poppin bottles, outside the club showin off cars, or on the street corner showin off guns. even if my budget is limited to a few locations around my city there is so much more you can do.

Nope cuz anything else is considered gay or a sellout. Most hip hop fans don't like different, they would rather u be in the hood element even though you wouldn't catch them in a hood on a regular day (that part i don't blame them). Its all about trying to prove that even though you got money you can rub elbows with the lower half of society

genstasia;1815835 said:This is true... but before the labels seen it as a promotional tool. So if you do an Half Ass video then they prolly feel they were not going to get their money back. But when Diddy is Paying 1 mil on a Video its definetly for promotion and album sales. But there's not real outlet for Music videos; MTV dont play videos, 106 and Park is only 10 videos, Vh1..... So i guess the budgets got smaller and smaller for video's which makes sense Business wise... Low Record Sales, No real way to get the Video seen unless somebody looks it up why invest all this money on it?
thats a good point
i dont know if kids are even watchin music videos on tv today
i think they're checking for youtube etc. first
still, if you do a creative video and a hundred thousand people see it on youtube, that's better for you than if you did a boring video and 5 million saw it on TRL

genstasia;1815857 said:Yea i get what ur sayin but ppl barely care about the rapping why would they be creative with the Video? They're in it for the Money and Video's dont bring back money so they could careless....
Thats why i think Kanye is one of the best every video is different and unique in its own way and this started from Throught The Wire.....
yea music videos use to be a big part of Hiphop but i guess they are being fased out like good lyrics.
