We try and be current at MVGEN. So when my homie Ike Dolo who’s originally from Baltimore sent me a track about what was going on in Baltimore over the Freddie Gray situation right now, I made a video with it using images of police brutality and protests in Baltimore and all over the world.

Killer Mike “Ric Flair” MVGEN Video
Killer Mike is one of my favorite emcees out right now and is peaking with his solo work and Run The Jewels with El-P. He just pout out a video for this song “Ric Flair” so I thought I’d make another one for him with highlights of the wrestler the song is named after, Ric Flair.
De La Soul And Nas “God It” MVGEN Video
The rumors of De La Soul’s and hip-hop’s death have been greatly exaggerated. Great to see one of my favorite rappers collaborate with one of my favorite rap groups and the song is dope so I had to make a video for this one.
Michael Jackson And Daft Punk “Say Lucky” Video
Here’s a cool Mashup of Daft Punk and Michael Jackson. The vocals are from Michael’s part on “Say, Say, Say” with Paul McCartney. Seeing as how MJ and Daft Punk were both incredible visual as well as musical artists, we made a video with some of MJ’s best dance moves and Daft Punk’s best visuals.

Tyler The Creator “Yellow” MVGEN Video
It seems like the new rude boy of rap, Tyler The Creator from Odd Future has found his sensitive side and is getting his sing on this new track “Yellow.” The theme and feel of this song make it ideal for an MVGEN video so check it out.
Q-Tip And Star Wars “A Force Called Quest”
So my favorite rap group growing up was A Tribe Called Quest and my favorite movies were the “Star Wars” series. This mashup is actually from a Chemical Brothers song “Galvanize” that has Q-Tip vocals but I decided to go with the ATCQ theme with “Star Wars” to make the video.
Notorious BIG x Alfred Hitchcock “Dead Wrong Psycho”
It’s pretty clear the the Notorious BIG was influenced by the great director, Alfred Hitchcock. Biggie even referred to himself as the black Alfred Hitchcock and his title “Notorious” is also the name of a Hitchcock movie. Biggie’s song “Dead Wrong” is a pretty disturbing tale of rape and violence but it seems as if he is playing the villain in his own Hitchcock movie.

Thomas And Biggie “The Notorious TTE” MVGEN Video
So the highly touted music blog, Pigeons And Planes has found out about one of our favorite subreddits, Thomas The Dank Engine and has even written a blog about it. I wonder if they saw one of our dankerrific videos for Thomas there. We just made a new one for the Biggie and Thomas collabo “The Notorious TTE” featuring the late, great Christopher Wallace rapping over the children’s TV show theme song.

James Brown And Game Of Thrones “James Of Thrones”
So “Game Of Thrones” is back so we thought we’d pay tribute to it with a video for a cool mashup of the “Game Of Thrones” theme song with James Brown’s, “It’s A Man’s World. We put some cool effects on it too, check it out.

Revolvr Ft Iggy Azalea “Raptor Badger” (Nonsense Rap)
Iggy Azalea sucks. But she still is pretty funny. This guy Revolvr made a remix of that nonsense rap she made that has been circulating the web by vine and some other sites and it’s pretty cool. I’ll post the vine of her nonsense rap too so you can get some perspective if you haven’t heard it.
