WATCH IT: Frank Ocean "Pyramids" (Nabil, dir) -NSFW-

It's a vision quest. 

Frank Ocean fuels up on Absinthe and off he goes, searching for deeeper meaning and a mythical Pyramid, not willing to settle for a strip club of the same name. Nabil laces the clip with lots of small pyschedelic touches, while occasionally going balls-out trippy, most notably with a John Mayer solo section that would make Gary Numan proud.  --> watch "Pyramids" [NSFW]

WATCH IT: The-Dream "Dope Bitch" -clean- (Lance Drake, dir.)

Drugs bad. Money good.

The original coketastic video The-Dream "Dope Bitch" gets overhauled for those outlets who ain't feeling the "music as narcotic" theme of the original. Now, it's music as money. Cocaine bricks get swapped for gold bricks, while the some of the snowdrift effects get swapped for some golden scrims (thankfully: no golden showers). Even a straight-edger could tell you the original version is more, uh, addictive, but this is a good example of how you can clean something up for the kids. --> watch "Dope Chick"
