?uestlove : The Songs That Shaped Me →
Drummer, producer, and leader of the Roots, ?uestlove is a human-scale iPod, a one-man multi-terabyte matrix of cross-cultural recorded rhythms.

Rih-Rih gets in her Requiem for a Dream zone. Such dismal visuals for such an upbeat song, but a very dope video nonetheless.

Frank Ocean - “Thinking About You” Music Video
Frank teams up with High5Collective for the visuals. The track was intended to be a reference track for Bridget Kelly, but you can’t deny the ownership in Frank’s version. The video is dark, and sorta feels like Stanley Kubrick, this is some visionary shit.
