Google Glass might be cool, but does it look cool? It does when being worn and operated by FKA twigs, who uses this branded short film to show how the wearable device can help her go through dance references, inspirations and other artful endeavors.
Is there an older and better cover for mob money than waste management? Jim Jones and singer Rell pay tribute to all the NYC puffers, especially those who are serviced by the green business that they run out of a garbage truck. --> watch "Blow Your Smoke"

Kid Cudi has gone rock. Or, about as "rock" as one can be with McLovin on drums and that young dude from Hot Tub Time Machine + Kick-Ass on bass. In other words, this is pure parody, letting Cudi play pretend rock star — kind of Jimi Hendrix meets Britny Fox — while keeping a bit of ironic distance. And to ensure there's some hip-hop bonafides, a blinged-out Kanye West drops a verse in the middle of the song. PS: Video needs a mudshark scene.
Black Milk brings you on a frame-by-frame walking tour through his hometown of Detroit. The fact that his city seems largely abandoned adds a bit of weight to the parenthetical (Gotta Go) part of the song title. --> watch "Welcome (Gotta Go)"
Roots rapper Black Thought is at the drivers seat of a taxi cab, having a bad night. And it just got worse. But so long as it's not the worst case possible, life goes on. Director Jason Goldwatch captures all the pathos and even that final moment of surrender and relief as a steady stream of characters get on and off the ride. One passenger especially of note: Jim James, who wrote and performed the 1.0 version of "Dear God" with his indie superground Monsters Of Folk. --> watch "Dear God 2.0"
