Busta Rhymes-I Love My Chick
The narrative for this music video was clearly inspired by the movie 'Mr & Mrs Smith', starring Brad Pitt and Angela Jollie; however, although there is alot of action and the whole video is explosive and shows a fight between two "lovers", the comedy genre is stronger, and makes the video more appealing as the director has changed the race of the charatcters. Another thing that makes it humourus is the fact that the stars featured in it don't really fit into their roles that much, ie, busta has a meanny, bad boy, blingy, gangster image and does not fit into the role he is given 9in this video because it is more lovy dovey, etc.

Brick and Lace-Love is Wicked
This is one of my favourite band and I love their music because its very cultural and holds strong messages.
I particularly love this video because of the hectic mood it contains. There is alot goin on throughout the video, and because we only see everything in fragments and a little at a time, we are drawn in to keep watching so we could see some more of it. The strongest aspect of the video is the dances we see. The video is sexy, fun, and cultural. It hasn't really got anything to do with the lyrics.
The good thing about the artists focusing on the dancing for the video is that; some viewers look at music videos to get ideas of how to dance to certain songs, and so if some of the viewers wanted to know how to dance to this song, they could copy the moves shown on it, which basically means they would have to keep watching it over and over again.
The reason i feel that the content of the video is do-able is because it doesn't really look like a big budget video, there are limited camera angles and shots, and the setting is simple and again, quite limited.
Here is another one of their videos that i like...

What A Wonderful World...puppet show!
I found this music video interesting because of the curiousity of all the different characters that the pupppet person could come up with, and also, i found it quite challengin to figure out whether or not these were computer tricks or if what we are shown is really 'hand-made'...
Beacuse of the slowpace of the song and the different images of nature and life, it almost felt like i was going through a journey, and i was eager to find out where it ended, the cideo draws the audience in by creating curiousity and anxiety. Also, because it's all dark and everything we could see was through a 'moon', the video had a strong jazzy element to it.
i'm sooo soorrry...i just had to add this!
Chamillionnaire 'Hip-Hop Police'
I like this video because of the message its potraying. This music video talks about the problems in society of racial discrimination, sterotyping and others. I like the fact that the video uses stereotypes to emphasize the issue the artist is talking about. The headlines it uses are probably the attractive aspect of the music video, and the fact that there are many charaters in the video but most of them are played by the two artists featured in the video; the video uses humour to gain audience's. One thing I did notice though, is that the headlines are all talking about black artists, and the problems they face in the music industry and the media, could this mean that the artist feel that black music artists in particular are being discriminated?
