Top 5 Hip-Hop Videos of 2013

[chazraps]

I put this together for LA Weekly today. From Jay to Macklemore to everyone in-between, it was a pretty good year for rap videos.

Here's my choices for the five this year that reigned supreme - blogs.laweekly.com/westcoastsound/2013/12/best_rap_videos_2013.php

Excellent list Chaz as usual, although with Macklemore I prefer his Other Side video

Still none are as good as a rapping rooster

Curious question, how would you rank Berserk or Rap God from Eminem

Really happy that the Rugged Man is getting some love.

"Berzerk" had some cool stuff going on in the video itself, but I couldn't get past how forced the first and third verses are.

I prefer "Rap God" as a song, but for a six minute long video it really shot all of its ideas in the first 45 seconds and, while it's still cool, I don't think was really top five caliber. Same thing with the Drake "Started from the Bottom" video. There's some really cool shots early on, but it's edited at such a slow tempo that it sort of overexposes them, if that makes sense.

Oddly enough "Rap God" was one of the last few, possibly the last one, to get cut from the list.

Not even sure I like this, but a track about being Canadian is too awesome to resist. Language warning here.

This one is technically last year, but it was put up on the 31st, so I am counting it for this year.
