Vids Are Alright 2017 #1: Young Thug “Wyclef Jean”

When Thrillist placed "Wyclef Jean" at #5 on their Top 50 Music Videos of 2017, the bloggers theorized that Young Thug's physical presence would have made this a "relatively forgettable" video. This assumption is largely incorrect. The video was already on its way to becoming something special since either version would have included 7-year-old cops and bikini babes smashing cop cars with bats in slow motion. Either version may have included Thugger's 13-second cameo, most of which is spent lip syncing while scarfing a bag of Cheetos. "The inherent chaos of celebrity life" was likely not itemized within the video's $100,000 budget, but its ensuing text narration propels it from great to GOAT. This is among the top 5 music videos of the 2010s.

Vids Are Alright 2017 (HM): Young Thug & Carnage: Young Martha f/ Meek Mill "Homie"

HM stands for "Honorable Mention." Not to be confused with www.hm.com which is the website for H&M.

"Homie" is one of those like "Virtual Insanity" where it's tough to tell if the room is moving along with the camera. We prefer the mystery of not knowing how they did it. Any other video with close-ups of freshly scarfed meat trays would typical gross us out to the point of disqualification based on principle. It's a weed video though. Creative as hell and mad disorienting.

We love Big Head Mode. If anyone wants to come over later for some N64 GoldenEye, we're down to go right for the big heads. LSD in the summertime.
