Busta Rhymes “Touch It (Remix)” Dir. Benny Boom Oh, please, please don’t let Busta Rhymes be remembered as the “Don’t Cha” rapper. One of the best hip-hop singles artist of the last ten years, the 33-year-old ex-Leader of the New School/Native Tongues badass/Grand Inquisitor of the Scenario/Co-Keeper of Y’all in Check/General Director of Hands Placement for Visual Optimization/Executive Breaker of Necks/Ordained Minister of Courvoisier Passage/Professor Emeritus of Lighting Ya Ass On Fire finally sounds a little...
Gorillaz “El Mañana” Dir.

Set in a vast open park...

And it’s not a bad commercial move either. Since Of Montreal?...
System of a Down “Lonely Day” Dir. Josh Melnick and Xander Charity Pity poor Serj Tankian. Not only is it “the most loneliest day in [his] life,” shit keeps catching fire around him. No wonder he thinks “such a lonely day should be banned.” At least he has the other members of System of a Down on the bus with him to keep him company. In the video for “Lonely Day,” the band members lounge mournfully around...
