Hip Hop Songs Videos Online
Hip Hop music videos certainly have their own flavor; from party tracks like "Fight For your Right To Party" to the bubble lenses of Busta Rhymes "Got Ya'll in Check" the style is undeniable. Here's a review of the greatest websites to watch rap music videos for free of charge, download new tracks from award winning rap designers, and essentially run your own MTV out of your home computer...
AOL Music is the premier player when it comes to music videos online. Their hip hop choice is on point and it is frequently updated, along with a New Artist section to help you stay on top from the biggest rap artists in the game today. AOL's site is easy to use, with clean navigation as well as fast download times. While it covers mainstream rap videos really well, it is lacking within the underground department, which brings us to the next website...
UndergroundHipHop. If you're into the actual underground scene, they've got you covered on videos. You can find high quality rappers like MF Disaster, Aesop Rock and Blackalicious and their video releases, even their early things or DVD only specials (not to mention live material). The reviews on this website read like a rap battle, which comes in handy when searching by ratings- presently there aren't any easy stars here!
Looking for Southern hip hop videos? Check out VideoCure. While this site features videos for those genres, it's Dirty South section is without rival anyplace (it currently has near to 750 Dirty South videos; that's a lot of crunk!). Another nice feature is actually that MySpace users can add the videos to their page with the click of a button... no code knowledge needed.
MusicVideoRap plays fast uncensored hip hop music videos. If you don't like to download music- or your pc takes too long- they offer streaming videos which load quickly and do not take any space on your pc. This site offers the same features as those upon other sites (for example new releases, most popular, etc.) but what models them apart is the selection of freestyle videos and the large number of articles on up and coming artists, music video production, music reviews and subterranean rap tours.
So what do these websites mean for television stations like MTV? Will these stations beat out TV when it comes to offering quality hip jump music videos? I think it's just a matter of time; online competitors can concentrate on narrower markets such as the Dirty South or underground and still make a profit, whereas television has to stay more mainstream in order to keep a hold on the market. These websites will provide hours of entertainment and help you find new rap and rap artists, download videos and post reviews by what you like and don't like.
