Videos of the Week August 25th

A buffet of awesomeness is what you can expect for this week's top five. Starting strong with a space themed lyric video from one of Avicii's new hits, Friend of Mine. Normally lyric videos are reserved for daily posts and not the top five, but it's the first Avicii video in a few years, so it gets treated differently. Following close behind is Skrillex and Poo Bear's new video fro Would You Ever. Let's just say I never knew what skateboard dancing was until I watched that video.

In case you haven't given up on documentaries after watching the latest 2pac movie, we all get a chance for redemption with the new Biggie Smalls story. Much of the trailer is filled with legends like Nas and Jay Z waxing poetic about Big Poppa, but the fact that A&E put together the documentary gives me hope that it'll be better than the overly Hollywood 2pac documentary. Another video of note was Katy Perry and Nicki Minaj's comedian cameo heavy video for Swish Swish. It's an addicting track and the visuals did nothing but improve the chances you'll like the track. And last, but not least, the next Marvel hit is almost ready to come out of the oven. This time it's Thor with the the help of Hulk and Dr. Strange. Not being a comic book geek, I still nerd out over the different movies and story lines crossing over...#Ragnarok

Videos of the Week June 16th

I'm bringing a truly unique top five this week. Led by some quirkiness, a few music videos, and a whole lot of race related content, it was an eclectic week. As long as you can get over the fact that Jimmy Fallon and Miley Cyrus didn't do the best job at concealing their true identities, their NYC Subway performance was one of the stand outs from this week. Pretty crazy how quickly a crowd gathered, mostly for Miley, but when Jimmy unmasked himself, people started losing it and breaking out their iPhones.

In the world of music videos, The Weeknd and Buddy released new videos for singles. Of the two, I enjoyed Buddy and Kaytranada's dance heavy video the most. Regarding race it was apropos that the Black Panther trailer came out the week that Ice Cube went on Bill Maher's show to school him on use of the N word. To Bill's credit, he owned up to his mistake and seemed like he was open minded enough to listen to what Cube was saying. As a side note, I really hope Black Panther continues Marvel's dominance in comic book cinema in 2018. Thanks to Wonder Woman, they actually might have competition from DC moving forward...#BlackPanther
