I launched Seen Your Video just over a year ago and to commemorate our anniversary, I've made a long-overdue list of the Best Music Videos of 2000s . While researching the 2K decade in music videos, I found it largely to be a story of two halves. The first half was dominated by groundbreaking visionaries like Michel Gondry , Spike Jonze , Mark Romanek and Floria Sigismondi , many of whom, after leaving their mark on music videos have gone on to successful careers in feature films. The other defining characteristic of the early [...]

Our rundown of this year's Gummy Awards results continues! Close watchers of yesterday's Top 20 Tracks reveal will be interested to learn that 60% of these selections also appeared on yesterday's list, though the #1 Best Video isn't on your top Top Tracks list, and vice versa. Interesting! (And a note to aforementioned Close Watchers who find this "Interesting!": We salute your nerdiness and love for stats.) One more stat for you, then: As a medium, music videos tend to reward singular, charismatic focal points, so it's little surprise that this year's list is 70% full of solo [...]

Toute l'équipe de We Are The Mascotte vous a concocté une sélection des meilleurs clips de cette année 2012. Une année très chargée avec un record de vidéos publiées sur le mag, ce qui ne fut pas simple pour émettre un top 5 (6/7) mais nous espèrons que vous vous retrouverez dans nos choix, sinon n'hésitez pas à partager vos coups de coeur pour cette année. Un petit clin d'oeil à certaines vidéos qui on fait le buzz cette année sans que cela entre en jeu dans notre ligne éditoriale, mais un peu de LOL ca ne fait [...]

For nylig da Eva var i Rom og jeg holdt bas-tema, kunne man eksklusivt på Regnsky høre et par tracks med den libanesiske rapper EL Rass . Det kan selvfølgelig stadig høres her . Han har netop udgivet en plade med produceren Munma , der forstår at give de arabiske tungesmæld et flot bas-fikseret underlag. I dag vil jeg gerne præsentere et andet bas-fikseret hip-hop act, denne gang fra Sydafrika. Rapperen kalder sig Okmalumkoolkat og nummeret her kommer fra ep'en Get A Grip , der udkommer på Hyperdub til juli. Senere på [...]

Last week, we skipped this list so that we could run our list of the 25 best videos of the year thus far . So I'll just take a moment to point out that last week's list, if we'd done it, definitely would've included SoKo's " We Might Be Dead By Tomorrow and" Blood Orange's " I'm Sorry We Lied ." Those videos rule. And here are this week's picks. Read More...

Did Jay-Z, Kanye West & Romain Gavras just raise the bar? I think so. This new music video for “No Church in the Wild” is incredibly awesome. Find the song (feat. Frank Ocean) on the Watch the Throne... **Summary** Go to website for downloads, videos & more.

Young revolutionaries pack the streets of Prague in the video for Watch The Throne opener "No Church In The Wild," a clip is pretty much the opposite of the " Otis " video. There's a lot of slow-mo Molotov cocktail throwing and long pans on marble statues. It looks expensive; it's basically the palatial version of 2 Chainz' " Riot " video. Romain Gavras (M.I.A.'s " Born Free ") directs. Watch it below. Read More...

Un video che farà discutere fin dalla prima sequenza: una moltov prende fuoco e viene lanciata contro un cordone di poliziotti in assetto anti sommossa. Violenza, scene di guerriglia e la regia poco meno che perfetta di Romain Gavras , già responsabile di "Bad Girls" e "Born Free" per M.I.A. e del video di "Stress" dei Justice . 'Stavolta le sue immagini accompagnano "No Church In The Wild": il brano di Jay-Z e Kanye West con il featuring di Frank Ocean, contenuto nel loro epico " Watch the [...]

A peine deux jours avant leur double date à Bercy, les deux rappeurs lâchent le clip de « No Church In the Wild » . Sachant que niveau entourage, en général ils savent y faire et peuvent faire appel à à peu près n'importe qui, on retrouve l'un des réalisateurs français des plus en vogue depuis quelques années, j'ai nommé Romain Gavras . Toujours dans cette ambiance d'émeute à la limite du post apocalyptique, ce qui nous rappelle énormément « Born Free » de M.I.A, il revient sans perdre en qualité, mais [...]

Saw parts of this video last night when The Throne performed live at the Ericsson Globe in Stockolm. Directed by Romain Gavras.

Romain Gavras knows how to direct amazing videos, most-notably his controversial short for M.I.A. 's track "Born Free" with his ginger genocide. Clearly he either has a thing for the police, or he loves showing how awesome they can be at brutally controlling a crowd of people. No gingers in this video, but there are horses, lots of fire, an elephant (not sure if it's real or not), dudes on fire, cars on fire, fire on fire, and frickin' lazers (no sharks), but unfortunately Paris Hilton was [...]

In between touring, fashion shows and fatherhood, Jay and Kanye manage to eek out a video for "No Church In The Wild," the intro track to last year's Watch The [...]

"Live fast, die young, bad girls do it well" and M.I.A. doing stunts on the streets of Morocco or filing her nails while the car is driving up on two wheels is what her new video was directed by Romain Gavras is all about. Badass as hell! Check out these 2 interesting remixes by Stereo Heroes and by Barbaric Merits, that [...]

M.I.A. - Bad Girls

Alors je sais que je suis un peu en retard, mais voilà! Nouveau vidéoclip de M.I.A pour la pièce musicale "Bad Girl". EXCELLENT vidéoclip réalisé par un de mes réalisateur préféré... Romain Gavras!
