Hip-Hop & Soul N°356 – Vintage 2000s Music Videos
Blu Cantrell's "Make Me Wanna Scream" blends R&B with reggae, driven by raw vocals and Ian Lewis's warm backing, though it falls short of "Breathe's" impact. Les Nubians' "Makeda" reintroduces French to American R&B, fusing neo-soul with Afrocentric rhythms. Handsome Boy Modeling School’s "Rock N’ Roll" defies genres, mixing turntablism with alternative rock. Roots Manuva's "Colossal Insight" offers introspection with a deep dub-inspired beat, while Obie Trice’s "The Set Up" delivers sharp rap storytelling amplified by Nate Dogg's haunting chorus. Noisettes' punk-tinged "Sister Rosetta" channels chaotic celebration, and Beyoncé’s "Me, Myself and I" shines as a minimalist ode to resilience. Akon's understated "Pot of Gold" exudes quiet ambition, while Chris Brown and Keri Hilson’s "Superhuman" leans on sentimental balladry for emotional elevation.
