Video: Big Boi - "In the A" (featuring T.I. & Ludacris)

The latest Big Boi album, Vicious Lies and Dangerous Rumors unfortunately didn't do it for me.  I was a big fan of the previous Son of Chico Dusty album but this one leaned too much of indie rock influences and seemed muddled and all over the place.  One of the stand out tracks though is "In the A" which is an ode to the ATL featuring T.I. & Ludacris.  

The video is a pretty standard hiphop video with the 3 of them standing around w/ a bunch neighborhood dudes and random shots of Atlanta.  If you are from the ATL it can feel pretty nostalgic, if not.. mehh... at least it is shot and editing with rapid cuts, keeping one from tuning out.  The director is a Greek boyz... Alexi Papalexopoulos.

Video: Killer Mike – “Big Beast” Video (Feat. T.I., Bun B & Trouble) NSFW

There are big videos and then there are BIG videos, “Big Beast” the first single from Killer Mike’s recently released, excellent El-P-produced, new album R.A.P. Music falls under BIG. In the nine-minute clip we get a mixture of action movie mayhem in the form of a foiled convenience-store robbery, an entrails feast by day of the dead strippers, lots of graphic blood, gore and dismemberment, a knife murder, an axe murder, a car chase,  a guest star in a Reagan mask, and three of the South’s biggest rappers looking like they own this shit.

Watch for the shout out at about 2:48 in.
