Videos of the Week June 2nd

What better way to welcome the summer months than a top five chalked full of Hip Hop goodness. Led by Kendrick Lamar and his flying car, Perfect Pint was the lead off hitter this week needed. I can't speak to the random animals, unicorns, or super-imposed Gucci Mane in the video, but it made for a chaotic watch. If a much more chill, SoCal Hip Hop video is more up your alley, then Mura Masa and Desiigner have your back. Let's just say Desiigner has never been accused of a lack of energy and that was evident in the video. If you're a Nike fan, then you can move right past Travis Scott's new Way Back video because it's one big James Harden Addidas commercial. Can't hate on the cross culture collabo between Hip Hop and NBA talents, but it comes off a bit too opportunistic for my liking. Speaking of opportunistic, how about Lil Yachty making a fashion splash in his first TV performance. Do the words Lloyd Christmas mean anything to you? Suffice to say, he pulled it off like a champ.

And in case you're not into Hip Hop videos, rounding out the top five is a trailer for the new four part HBO documentary detailing the come up of Dr. Dre and Jimmy Iovine. It'll have cameos from the likes of Snoop, Will.i.am, and Eminem cameos, the series will have all the big names you'd hope would help tell the story. The Defiant Ones will premiere on July 9th, so set your DVRs y'all...#DefiantOnes

"We Set the Roof on Fire, We Set the Roof on Fire"

There's only one way to listen to Rae Sremmurd's music and that's all the way turnt up. To be clear, you have to have at least a few drinks in you to be able to get into their music. I can count on one hand songs I like of theirs and when I'm in to the mood to hear those songs, they're my favorite. Feel free and add Set the Roof to that playlist with others like with No Type and Come Get Her.

Before you start testing the high end of your speakers with the track below, let me point out one thing. A great deal of the awesomeness of this track can be directly attributed to Mike Will AND DJ Mustard. Both are stellar in their own right, but when they combine forces, it's GAME OVER. Shoot, you might even get a little nostalgic with all the Lil Jon can and response screams on the hook. Hopefully this one finds you in the right state of mind and you're able to crank it on your commute home...#SetTheRoof

"Don't Throw Fists, Throw Parties"

Another day, another crazy Trap/Hip Hop collaboration. This time Dillon Francis and DJ Snake hooked up with the Hip Hop duo who wake up hype and never stop being hype at any point during the day. You've probably been living under a rock if you haven't heard of Rae Sremmurd, but as a quick recap, you might want to check out No Type and No Flex Zone. Those two tracks are what got them on the map, but they continue to incite crowds every single place they go, including Highly Questionable.

In a nutshell, these guys are like what you'd picture Lil Jon at the age of 19. Knowing that, it's easy to understand why their energy fits so well with Trap music. Good call by DJ Snake and Dillon Francis for seeking out the duo for the remix because they are on a short list of Hip Hop acts that are capable of matching the energy of beat. If you're in need of something hype of the weekend playlist, feel free and head on over to iTunes to cop this on Dillon's newly released version of Money Sucks, Friends Rule...#SremmLife
