rapisalive's best of MMVII: Top 10 Music Videos: 10-9
Maroon 5 - Wake Up Call
Comments: Who ever thought a rock band could make such a gangsta video. In this video you can see a little bit of the gangsta in Adam Levine
Chamillionaire F/Slick Rick - Hip Hop Police
Comments: One of the first hip hop videos with no hoes in it. Not to mention Chamillionaire as a white dude is just crazy. Definitely one of the best videos of the year. It's pretty damn cool. Had plenty of success on TRL making it Chamillionaire's most suceessful video on there peaking at #1 a couple of times.

Justin Timberlake - What Goes Around .... Comes Around
Comments: I didn't actually mind the length to me it had a good plot and story not to mention the song is ****ing amazing as well!
Rihanna F/Jay-Z - Umbrella
Comments: The question is how do I not have this in my top videos because the video is definitely one of the best videos of the year. And for sure the sexiest video of the year!

Kanye West F/T-Pain - Good Life
Comments: I know he kind of copied off of J.U.S.T.I.C.E. but this video was spectacular it started off with a blank screen then it's like all these painted images are just being splashed all over the screen. Not to mention he got Angel "Lola Luv" Fershgenet who XXL named eye candy of the year.
Chris Brown - Wall To Wall
Comments: The song wasn't that great but the video definitely made it for me. Coming off a Blade type theme. What wall to wall meant in this video was in order for this one girl to get him she needed to bite him on the neck and make him a vampire like the rest of them so he can be her's. But then later Chris figures out it was just a dream until she pops up out of nowhere and I jump out of my seat (literally I was shocked). And of course awesome choreography at the end.

R. Kelly F/Usher - Same Girl
Comments: The song's lyrics ain't a strength that's for sure. But to have the two icons in R&B, perhaps you could even call them the two kings in R&B who got together to make an interesting video. Then that's something special especially when you have a twist at the end of this video as in the song is called same girl so they decided to start off with a conversation on the phone then talking to each other in person and hanging out then playing ball then deciding to go meet this girl together but the twist is it's not the same girl in fact they were going out with twins so they both actually weren't seeing the same girl as unbelievable that sounds so they just crack up at the end. This video exceeded my expectations, it was very entertaining!
The Game F/Kanye West - Wouldn't Get Far
Comments: Wow Kanye has been in some great videos this year hasn't he? Well west coast rapper The Game really got his point through the video which is women don't have to be video hoes to be beautiful. Not to mention him and Kanye gave out great verses. The pop up videos were great. The setting was great the beginning was hilarious. The bright lights in the scenes were great as well. Came down to a great end with perhaps Pharrell skateboarding by. With all this being said The Game said he was going to retire after his next album hope it ain't true. Doctor's Advocate was great and will probably be remembered as a West Coast classic 10 years from now. He's on his way to becoming a West Coast Legend, not to mention MTV named him the 3rd hottest MC in the game right now so he needs to keep on making music because I hate to say this but The Game is the closest MC that can be compared to 2Pac. For some reason he reminds me of 2Pac even though 2Pac is a better lyricist. But the swagger, toughness, skills, his classic albums, production and meaningful songs he's made. That right there reminds me so much of 2Pac. Well one thing is for sure Game is definitely miles better than 50 Cent because all 50 Cent raps about is killing people. There is so much more to rap and hip hop than that.
