Good Evening. Welcome to another addition of the mid-week music video mini-review round-up. Props to you if you can say that quickly 5 times. As we continue to dig ourselves out of the backlog, we are keeping the “reviews” very limited and lumping the videos into categories. This week brings us a double feature of artists per song. As each artist collabs with one other act to bring you the aforementioned, titular one-two punch.
So bam. Enjoy.
-It’s definitely a quickly made video and it shows
Paul Onion x Al-P – “Memories”
-But the fact it’s in a ridiculously narrow aspect ratio still annoys me
J. Reyez x Flash – “Clutch”
–Lydia’s cameo is woefully under-utilized in her cameo
Derez x Berko Baako – “Woo Snappin”
-I generally liked the video but the film grain and dirt effects were too fake looking
Steve Aoki x Flux Pavilion – “Get Me Outta Here”
-If I had to nitpick, it’d be the SFX were a bit cheesy in quality… especially that dust cloud
Verseatile x J. Han – “I Against I”

-This is minor but the audio mix was way too clean. It needed a little more lo-fi “grit”. But maybe that’s just cause I can’t help but compare it to the iconic original
Dru B Shinin’ x Wrex Washsington – “Blue Hundreds”
-It’s a shame the song ain’t as memorable
