Anthony Madler's videos are visually nice to watch but never have been nothing epic to me. I'd probably say his best video to date is Up and Down by Snoop which was just visually beautiful IMO.Originally Posted by jefffort5
i think they are...i do this %$*#...so if im going to put effort into something..im going to make it worth while...this video was neither entertaining nor creative to me...and this is a online forum where we discuss and critique...im sure U2 fans critique the hell out of their %$*# as well....if im a fan of your music and u do a video...i want to see a visual that goes hand and hand with the songOriginally Posted by rocyaice
Other genres aren't half as critical of their music as rap fans are there. Seriously. You dudes critique this @@% like you paid 10 dollars for admission. Its a music video. Its done to showcase the music. Its not done for a Academy Award. Dudes over here complaining the video is too "artsy". The hell?Originally Posted by jefffort5
excuses...when it comes to every other genre of music..their vidoes are always better than rap videos....step ya creativity game up
I gotta say though I have noticed the criticism for Drake's videos are different than that of other artists. I don't know what it is about when Drake drops a video but when he does its multiple pages of dudes saying what they hated about the video.I saw this with Forever and Best I Ever Had. Maybe its all warranted I guess. Just with music videos from mainstream artists I see videos as sort of a commercial to promote the song. I'd probably have higher expectations for a indie artist or a artist not as mainstream as Drake.
Oh wow! I forgot about Drizzy's "Forever" video!
That is his best video to date....
