Just kidding! Forget that title, here’s just 10 videos that come to mind. Check out this jumbo-sized list, I promise it doesn’t have Gucci Gucci on it.
Lovett – Eye of the Storm
This is just a gorgeous video that I forgot to post in February. If you dig it, be sure to check out the equally-eye-blasting behind the scenes video for it.
SALEM – Till The World Ends
Salem kept it real this year with a great video for KING NIGHT, but the video for their screwed-up Britney Spears track is a masterpiece. Till the World Ends‘ grainy night vision footage of strippers and combat operations is about as apropos as it gets for this tune.
A non-existent video for Waka Flocka Flame – Round of Applause…
Shoot! Did I imagine this? I thought there was a ridiculous video for this track. Things all wobblin’ out of control, Flocka just standing there in the background. When I put it that way, it sounds likely that I did just imagine this. I’ll substitute it for Lady – Twerk, which is just as absurd.
2011 was a way literal year for music videos.
Lil B – Got the Mack Loaded
Just when I thought I had Lil B figured out, he goes and puts on his “grandma errings” (sic.)
Machine Gun Kelly – Wild Boy (feat. Waka Flocka Flame)
I’m not big on the tune, but holy moly is this video ever a work of art. Cancel the Oscars and just air the magnificent intro to this video on a constant loop in its place. I haven’t seen “white dude trippin” like this since back when Nelly was making videos.
At 2:40, the bit leading into Flocka’s verse is my favorite music video moment of 2011. Brilliant.
MY ACTUAL FAVORITE VIDEOS OF THE YEAR
2011 was a fantastic year in music, and the videos did not disappoint. Here are my top videos of the year for real doe. I already posted them all, because that’s how the site works, so I’ll keep it brief!
The Death Set – It’s Another Day
Wild Flag – Romance
Neon Hitch – No Hands
Major Lazer – Original Don
The Death Set – Slap Slap Slap Pound Up Down Snap
There it is! At the start of 2011, I would not have guessed that Waka Flocka would be so well represented in my list of most notable music videos of 2011. Happy new year!
