The Black Keys turn their song “Howlin’ For You” into the soundtrack of a stereotypical grind house film trailer. Despite the fact that the music video is not an actual trailer, it is just excellent.

Nothin’ too fancy, but the typography that I would imagine Hype Williams, the guy who directed the video did, is pretty crazy. The music video stays pretty spot on to all of the lyrics, and the bombardment of neon lights is off the chain. Rihanna and Cudi make some solid appearances. Always nice to see […]

The video has a great summer livin’, easy, breezy feel lent by the song’s sample of alternative group, The Whitest Boy Alive’s track “1517”, and appears to be a cross between an […]
Super political song just dropped by Lupe. Never heard this kind of outspoken liberalism from way out in Fiasco’s left field before, despite his obviously liberal views. However, the song is legit and he is speaking his mind for sure. See what you think when you listen. For more, go to: http://www.justexcellentbeats.com/2011/02/new-lupe.html
