WATCH IT: Lupe Fiasco "Around My Way" (Alex Nazari, dir.)

Driving a splashy car, getting jewelry from a record excecutive and hanging with some literal cartoon characters on a stoop doesn't ring true for extra-perceptive Lupe Fiasco, so it's no surprise when the ending twist reveals that the rapper is mainly playing with a bunch of the stock hip-hop rap video motifs and other nonsense we see on TV. --> watch "Around My Way

WATCH IT: Travis Porter "Ayy Ladies" f/ Tyga (Alex Nazari, dir.)

Travis Porter is here to party, and in the best tradition of the genre, they inhabit a world exclusively filled with attractive women where other people will surely clean up tomorrow. Director Alex Nazari skilfully captures the guys as they gleefully explore what seems to be a dorm hallway, a convention of French maids and a pool party that might include lost footage from 'Pumps and a Bump'. Let's hope no one calls the cops.  --> watch "Ayy Ladies"
