2 Chainz "Crack" (Aristotle, dir.)

2 Chainz - Crack (Explicit)

In a perfect world, 2 Chainz would be creating a different track for every substance that could get the user high - a song cycle of intoxication. He starts here with 'Crack,' and fingers crossed we'll get to 'Airplane Glue' and 'Those Orange Pills from Grandma's Bathroom' by the end of the year. Director Aristotle delivers skittering, on-edge visuals that take the viewer along on the 'trap to rap' journey.

Mack Maine "Celebrate" (Parris Stewart, dir.)

Mack Maine - Celebrate (Explicit) ft. Talib Kweli, Lil Wayne

Timing, Timing, Timing. After a crazy dramatic week for Cash Money that had Lil Wayne getting Last Rites one day and then walking out the hospital the next, "Celebrate" couldn't come at a better time. The vibe is loose and celebratory (of course) while director Parris works in multiplicity effects with a marching band and partygoers. And Lil Wayne's casual star presence here is a reminder of why he'd be an irreplaceable talent.

Omarion "Paradise" (Topshelf Junior, dir.)

OMARION "Paradise"

Omarion has come a looong way since his days in B2K and now that the kid is on Rick Ross's Maybach Music, he has a gang of tats and rippling GNC-fueled muscles to go with his baby-face.  The track careens through off-kilter speed changes and director Topshelf Junior crafts a visual tone that matches the music:  D'Angelo gone Horrorcore while being chopped and screwed during a sizzurp binge.
