Video Wrap: David Banner “Slow Down”, N.E.R.D. “Hot N Fun”, Big Sean “High Rise” & More (Watch!)

Posted by Nathan S. on 06/23/10 | Filed under Videos, 9th Wonder, David Banner, Everliven Sound, N.E.R.D., General Steele

Yesterday more new videos dropped than I could possibly keep up with, so I'm playing a little catch-up this morning and dropping a giant Video Wrap featuring new visuals from David Banner & 9th Wonder, N.E.R.D., Everliven Sound and more...

UPDATE: Added new videos from C-Ray Walz and Big Sean at the bottom.

David Banner & 9th Wonder - "Slow Down"

Maybe I'm just not smart enough, but honestly, I don't really get this video. I mean, it's obviously a Matrix takeoff, and those glasses Banner has apparently allow him to see the Matrix, but right about the time the video basically becomes them on the floor of the club I have no idea what's going on. Anyway, the track sounds dope. I'm stoked for Banner and 9th's collabo project "Death of a Popstar".

N.E.R.D. ft. Nelly Furtado - "Hot N' Fun"

Featuring Pharell, those two other dudes, and that girl who used to be in every Timbaland song. The real secret to Pharrell's success is his uncanny ability to make music women want to dance to, and this is no different. I'm not sure why everyone's dressed like Indians on acid, but who am I to question Pharrell's genius.

Everliven Sound (Cymarshall Law & Skit Slam) - "Get Up Stand Up"

Off Everliven Sound's "Freedom II" album, out now. The visuals may not blow you away, but the truth is there aren't many rappers who would dare go mic to mic with Marshall and Skit.

General Steele - "Amerikkka’s Skemin"

America's fucked up. This comes off Stelee’s "Amerikkka’s Nightmare Part 2: Children of War", the title of which I would find more impressive if Cube didn't already do the same thing twenty years ago.

Nike x The World Cup - "#endAIDS"

Nike's using the attention surrounding the World Cup to further bring attention to their #endAIDS project, and since it's such a worthy cause, I thought I'd earn some good karma and post it up as well. More more info on how you can help fight the AIDS epidemic, click here.

C-Ray Walz - "Destroy"

As a general rule I dig crazy people, which is why i dig everything C-Ray does...although it's a little more graphic than I was prepared for when he gets shot in the face by that bear.

Big Sean - "High Rise"

Sean joins the "Rappers Who Appear Shirtless in Videos Even Though They Really Shouldn't" club. At least he's just skinny. It could be worse, he could have man boobs. More on the topic in this Friday's "Fails of the Week".

That David Banner video is... interesting? I guess? I don't know? I can't tell. I mean, it's hard to say if it's clever, or stupidly cheesy, or something entirely different.

@tdotraza I'm right there with ya. I don't know what to make of it. I think it might be do dope I don't understand it, but it could just make no f**king sense.

The david banner video is supposed to just be a dream, and i think he realizes at the end that the girl is one of them...I dunno, its a dream, it doesnt have to make sense, at least the song is pretty cool, 9th wonder can bring out the best of any artist.
I dont care about sean being topless, but if your gonna have some topless strippers, can't you at least get some good looking ones. (i guess it's still not as bad as papoose)
I think pharell has been watching too much fear and loathing, but i actually like that video. hahaha
