M.I.A. is a British artist that is virtually unheard of here in the UK, while getting more and more well known in the US. Kind of like the Scissor Sisters or The Killers (at least when they first came out) but in reverse.
This song, called Paper Planes, has been out for a while in North […]
If you’re currently residing in the US, you may well have heard this song, but might not have seen this particular video for it, as there is another one knocking about.
Rather than a monkey doing the housework, this one features British acting legend Bob Hoskins miming the lyrics while acting out a recreation of the […]
I’m proud right now, as yet another British female artist seems to have gone to America and started to get noticed, and this one is actually pretty decent.
Amy Winehouse has been admired from afar, while Natasha Bedingfield and Joss Stone have fled the UK to find fame and fortune in the States, with varying degrees […]
Obviously I get to choose the music video that I review here on Killed By The Video Star, but I try to strike a nice blend of genres, and songs I like and hate.
This is one of those songs which falls in to the latter category, and is just a terrible attempt at creating a […]
Timbaland is normally THE man, he can lay his hands on any musical artist and transform what talent they already have in to gold. Unfortunately, I think I’ve just heard his first failure, as this song is a steaming pile of horse crap.
It’s got the trademark Timbaland bassline style, and all the ingredients are there, […]
It’s time for some old skool New York hip hop now, and for that we need to turn to none other than the Beastie Boys, who long before Eminem, were proving white people can rap.
I’ve already reviewed Intergalactic on Killed By The Video Star, which I of course loved, and Alive is no different in […]
After reviewing Ice Cube’s latest Gangsta Rap Made Me Do It, and then the brilliant Today Was A Good Day, I thought I should complete the trio with this one, just so I could put ass in a title.
Even though this is only 8 years old, it’s shocking how much hip hop has moved in […]
I’d never heard of Lupe Fiasco before this song came out, but now I hear him everywhere I go, be it the local pub, shopping mall or on every music television channel this side of MTV.
Is he Kanye West’s younger brother or something? As he looks and acts like a mini Kanye, with the same […]
Something a bit different here on Killed By The Video Star today, with a political music video made to try and encourage youngsters to vote in the forthcoming presidential elections.
I’m British, so the elections are a bit beyond me, although I like what I have heard about and from Barack Obama, and would probably vote […]
After seeing some of the dog shit videos that current hip hop artists are putting out there, I thought we should take it back a bit and go old skool for a true classic.
This is The Pharcyde with Drop, a video so good that I’ve watched it numerous times over the past few years, just […]
