Video Bomb: What's Love|A.V. w/ Rate

         

 First and foremost shout out to A.V. for coming hard on a sample and further more channeling this weird Soulja Slim / B.G. vibe. I'll be honest and say I didn't expect this much raw and real rap on this track. The video is Directed by Motion Minds, and while most rappers do visuals where there are home scenes or studio scenes I thought it was appropriate for this video and made it more lovable. The fact that this is a Florida bred rapper sounding like he from New Orleans is a pleasant surprise.  I love finding hidden gems like this. The content is relatable to anyone living the street life or knows loss of someone who lives or lived that lifestyle. A.V. touches on personal accounts of dangerous situations he faced as an adolescent, as well as the all to familiar reality that a lot of young black male's face with incarceration. When I first heard the Tina sample I wasn't sure what to expect given Tina was recounting an abusive relationship in the original. Yet I love the twist the sample presented with a real rap feel. I feel like as powerful as the message was he and his videographer could have come up with a lot more as far as a story line. I did enjoy seeing A.V. in almost a reflective state when he was in the living room and the family portraits were being shown. I really like this song and can't wait to see what A.V. and Wynners Circle have up their sleeves.

Jose Guapo| Changes(2Pac Remake) Video Bomb w/o Rate

     Given that we are all more familiar with Jose Guapo "Running it Up" I was surprised with his remake of Tupac's classic song "Changes", Given the current police brutality epidemic that is plaguing our country currently, I thought it was smart and necessary of him to put this track out. He started it out verbatim to Tupac's version and then put his own spin on it. I applaud when rappers use their platforms to inform the people not to just talk about the cliche' money, cars, clothes, and hoes. He brought back something refreshing for the new generation that may not be familiar with Pac's version even though I find it hard to believe people aren't aware of the original origin. Check out Jose Guapo's visuals for "Changes' Below.

Double Bomb| Paublo Patrick Young Lord & Fire w/ Rates

I first have to say that Paublo Patrick is one of the few artist that I work with on a regular basis and he stays on me about everything! So much so that I have received several Facebook messages scolding me about why "Young Lord" and "Fire" have yet to be featured. With all that being said, I have two Video Bombs below from 3921 front man Paublo Patrick and these two visuals are sure to put Paublo Patrick in your immediate sight. Given that "Young Lord" dropped first, I will start with that. Directed by BBros Filmz, Young Lord is another dope imprint in music from the mind of Paublo. He often grabs you with sound clips from familiar visuals before he ever drops a verse. Paublo Patrick's lyrics literally touch my soul. Given the interviews him and I have conducted I am well aware of where he came from and where he is going. He gives you a wide open view into real life strife. Sometimes you can't quite pinpoint where he is going with his visuals but once you see the entire thing come together it is mind blowing. He always has nice scenes and I love that he almost always incorporates a beach scene. The scenes of him with his children and in the studio shows he is just a regular guy living life. And the fact that he placed himself in a room reenacting the night he lost his mother is touching and sad all at the same time. Being as young as he was when he lost her only amplifies what the video is saying and I have no idea how he was able to even participate in the scene knowing what it represented.He does not disappoint with these visuals and continues to surprise me with what he puts together. Check out my Rate for "Young Lord": Below and even further down check out my Review and Rate of "Fire" also by Paublo Patrick
