Cliches In Videos

Recommended Posts

I forget which roots song it is, but they show every rap Cliche there is to man.

 

And watch any New Edition video from the 80s and you get EVERY boyband/young male video from then on. Same ol', talk to girl solo, dance with a group, break down and sing love, dance with a group, sing to girl solo, dance with a group.

Not really a cliche (or it might be, dunno), but I just remembered a cool Slayer video I saw a while back where they were dressed in suits, then covered in blood or something like that. What video is that?

Bloodline.

 

The depressed walking down the street cliche is getting rather old.

I hate being a famous celebrity because I never get any privacy videos

 

"I just wanna live" by good charlotte

 

I know Lindsay Lohan also had a video like this, and Ludacris

Lohan has nice breasts......hm...bouncy, bouncy. Ditto for Destiny Child Mrs. Jay Z who seems to be walking around in high heels showing off her nice ass and no support for the breast which seem to bouncy for days....

In hair band videos.

 

The shot of the girl in the audience crying,

 

the drummer making a stupid face and than throwing his sticks up in the air and catching them

 

The guitar players with the back to back guitar duel

 

the overly exited fan trying to get on stage only to have security grab them,

 

the group sing along into the lead singers mic,

 

a band member recording hot groupies in bikinis

 

a shot of the band headed up to the stage.

 

One guy gives the camera the bird, and the last guy throws the towel on the camera.

 

some chick in the audience singing along to the words.

It was called "What they do" unfortunately that video eventhough a parody created the formula for rap videos.

There's only 3 types of Rap Videos:

 

Club: everybody parties 24/7

 

the Hood: Cats ride around the hood with no real purpose.

 

Parody type video: Dissing a rapper, Video concept from a movie

What's the deal with rappers wearing expensive jewerly with cheap 3-in-the-pack hanes white T's?

they look mean in their white tee, lean in their white tee, forget a throwback they look clean in their white tee.

worst....rap song...EVER!!!!!!!!!  and that includes Can't Touch This, Ice Ice Baby and Informer!

If you lived in Atlanta you would have heard the ULTRA HARDCORE GANGSTA ASS comeback "Black TEE". Then you would have heard the ULTRA FUNNY, HARDCORE ASS GANGSTA comeback "Pink Tee". In other words...imagine the first song, and make it worse...then make that song worse.

[Chorus:] [2x]

i look fruity in my pink tee,

weird in my pink tee

people think that i go both ways in my pink tee,

i look sweet in my pink tee,

funny in my pink tee,

got a purple thong to go along wit my pink tee,

no draws wit my pink tee,

look lame in my pink tee,

fa'get a female, i get a man wit my pink tee,

 

step on the scene looking lame inna all pink shirt,

why i got this pink on, when im black like dirt,

alla men flirt, i even got a pink hat,

girls wanna holla, but i dont want nunna that,

i want me a man with a pink shirt too,

so i kiss him on tha cheek and say thats my boo

how i wear a pink shirt and still feel like a man,

why i get arroused when i see killah kam,cause

 

[Hook:] [2x]

Pink is the new colour for thugs, because it shows that they are so secure in their thugginess that they can wear the most effeminate colour and still be badass. Seriously.

I'll add another item to the hair metal cliches:

 

The two guitar players and bass player, standing shoulder to shoulder, in somewhat of a conga line, going back and forth across the stage during the bridge of any given song

 

I watched MTV for an hour the other morning during their "Rock Block", and EVERY SINGLE band featured all the members dressed the same: slacks, button-down shirt, tie, all in matching colors. The bands also all played the same style of music. Also, whats the deal with all the new band's singers, straining to sing like its all they can do to make a little noise come out of their throats?
