Hip-hop video wrap-up, Mr. Midas, Pries, Iman S and M6, Hypnautic and Sole
The hip-hop scene has been incredibly busy these past few weeks churning out visual components to coincide with their individual projects. Don't miss Mr. Midas and his chartered plane on "Run My Town," a shirtless Pries in the snow on "I Don't Care," a pair of sparse cityscape clips from Iman S on "Edward Scissor Hands" and with M6 on "It Is What It Is," Hypnautic's ode to his 'hood on "Where I've Been" and Sole's latest wordplay on "The Bridges Let Us Down." Click through for a full rundown.
MR. MIDAS - "RUN THIS TOWN"
Mr. Midas, the Long Beach, California, native-turned-Colorado hip-hop ambassador, just dropped the first video from his long-awaited full-length album Son of the Crack Era, titled "Run My Town."
The video is about nine minutes long, so get your mind right before pressing play on this joint. While I'm sure there's a movie reference being made, I can't tell you what it is. Master Fuol of Lyricist Lounge fame, makes an appearance as a shabby antagonist to Mr. Midas's more powerful protagonist.
Midas says Son of the Crack Era will not only be an album, but will feature a complete documentary that profiles the rise of the crack epidemic. The video for "Run My Town" is the introductory component to the package. There are tons of drug references scattered throughout the song, and the video itself is a play on the arrival of a very important package that might be drugs, or money, or both.
Highlights of the video include Mr. Midas arriving at an airport in a private plane, several beautiful shots of Denver's skyline, and a legion of goons to match the stiff and stoic expressions of carefully placed video girls.
Hip-hop, son!
