Here's something I found on MTV's UK website. I don't know I hadn't heard this earlier seeing that the article came out almost a week ago.
Alongside a "ridiculous" remix of his new single ‘Paris, Tokyo’, Lupe also told Rickie that a certain French electronic duo are remixing his new album: "I’m remixing the album with Justice, I’m gonna shout out to Justice".
Is this going to be another Grey Album-esque mashup. Let's hope so. I don't know how I didn't see this coming. I mean, Lupe opened up at GITD with The Cool served over a Justice beat. Read the rest of the article here.
So here at the boogie we've been sort of reliving our GITDT experience via YouTube videos and such. Quite possibly one of my favorite moments of the concert was the very beginning. The runner of the FNF crew came out with a bang, performing the best lyrical song on The Cool (The Coolest) over yet another Justice hit, "Let there be light." Lu spits fire, while the stage is just dope. I'll let video speak for itself.
Before I say anything, let me first make this statement: Hip-Hop is my favorite type of music. Hands down, it's not even close. Having said that, I have to ask why the genre that, since its inception into slightly-mainstream music in the late 80's, has been known for its creativity has become so dull when making videos. I can pretty much some up 85% of Hip-Hop videos with these characteristics: club, whores, liquor, expensive sunglasses, whores, hoodie, entourage, and whores. That's not to say ALL HIP-HOP VIDEOS ARE BAD, it's just that way too many have become complacent. It's almost like artist are making music videos because they have to, not because they want to express themselves.
Now, there are some videos that I legitimatly enjoy. Just in the last year, I will name some rap videos I saw and liked: International Players Anthem, Good Life, Hot Thing, Can't Tell Me Nothing (Version 2... peep it here), Us Placers. I'm sure there are some others that I just can't think of right now, but the list is still far too small.
Everybody knows about Justice because of their Michael Jackson tribute D.A.N.C.E., but a lot of people do not realize how good their videos are. The video for D.A.N.C.E. provided the inspiration for Good Life and, in my opinion, the best video from last year.
The group just released a new video for their song DVNO. The video is similar to D.A.N.C.E., but it is a little simplar. Its not quite as good, but its still creative.
