Jasiri’s Top 25 Video Countdown 22-20

Published by dara on July 28, 2008 in Top 25, Video and music. 0 Comments

I abandoned my Top 25 for a minute but now I’m back at it again bringing you my favorite videos of all time. This is the third post in the series so go back and check out videos 23-25 as well as the honorable mentions.

The Pharcyde
Drop

This video is just plain cool and I’m still trying to figure out how it was put together (stay tuned for another countdown appearance from The Pharcyde).

Michael Jackson
The Way You Make Me Feel
The Way You Make Me Feel just may be my favorite Michael Jackson song, and it’s on my list of favorite Jacko videos. Mr. Jackson disabled embedding so I can only link to it Go here to check it out. Shamone!

DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince
Summertime

The #1 summer anthem. Get nostalgic every time I hear. A time when folks didn’t mind Will Smith’s bubblegum rapping. A hip-hop classic!

Jasiri’s Top 25 Video Countdown: 23-25

I had a different subject planned for this post, but I am feeling pretty miserable right now. I can’t gather the mental strength needed to write something that requires too much thinking. Don’t know if I have a sinus infection, the flu, or just a plain old cold. Whatever it is, I want it to be gone! This post is a continuation of a post I began back in the summer. It’s my Top 25 Video Countdown (you know…like BET’s, only better). The following are my picks for 23-25. Enjoy!

25. Jurassic 5 feat. Dave Matthews
Work It Out

Two great artists coming together to bring us some political humor.

24. Beck
Where It’s At

Another humorous one. I remember when this video came out, I’m guessing I was around 15 or 16 — used to love it. BTW, Universal Music Group disabled embedding for this video. To view it just ~~click on the video and you’ll be taken to the video on YouTube’s site~~ go here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5uQ9W4KexnA.

23. Incubus
Drive

Love the concept and the artwork in this video. And, to indulge briefly in my superficial side, the lead singer is Hot! (Video embedding was disabled, go here to watch)

Jasiri’s Top 25 Video Countdown

I have watched many of the BET Top 25 Countdown episodes. I am often bored by the selection of videos that the various celebrity hosts compile, so I decided to assemble my own. I created a selection of my top 25 favorite videos and I will post them here periodically (3 at a time) until I reach number one. The list is not in a strict order; however, the videos closest to the top do represent my top faves. Enjoy!

The following videos didn’t quite make the cut. They are honorable mentions.

Chubb Rock, O.C. & Jeru tha Damaja - “Return of the Crooklyn Dodgers”
I love it for the social commentary.

Bone Thugs N Harmony - “Crossroads”
There was a point in time when I was in love with this group (middle school/early high school years). I used to run to the TV when this video came on.

The Dave Matthews Band - “Crash Into Me”
This video is strange, I still don’t know if I get it. But I think that’s precisely why I like it…because it is so strange.
