List-O-Rama: The Ten Best Music Videos From Movie Soundtracks (Part 1 of 2)
June 20, 2008I know it’s been a while since I updated the site, but I have an excuse: YOUR SISTER! OH SNAP! What?
Anyway, life was getting in the way, and I do apologize for the lack of updates. Stupid life and its lifey ways.
As for this list, please bear with me because it takes a bit of explanation. I am listing down the ten best music videos of songs that are made specifically for movie soundtracks. As if theme songs weren’t obscure enough these days, moreso would be the art of coming up with a kick-ass music video to tie in with and promote your movie.
There are a few gems out there, but we all know how lazy studios can get sometimes. They shoot a video and simply sneak some scenes in from their movie. Some don’t even bother shooting a video, they just conjure a mishmash of sequences and call it a day.
But there is one exception:
#10: The RZA, Young DB and Reverend William Burke “Beat You Down” (from The Protector)
Again, it doesn’t really count as a legitimate music video if every frame was ripped entirely from a movie. Unless of course said movie involves Tony Jaa, some elephants, gunshots, fire, explosions, broken bones, flying kicks, helicopters, AND DID I MENTION ELEPHANTS?!
The song being from The RZA doesn’t hurt either.
