Pop-GAF, I'm ready to be slayed. Also, Hip Hop GAF, Danny Brown was all I could come up with, "Blueberry (Pills and Cocaine)" being the other.

I wasn't aware it was a trilogy before watching the wait video.
But Wait, even on its own is simply incredible in every aspect.

Odd Future - Rella

[DiscoJer]

Gareth Emery feat. Christina Novelli - Concrete Angel

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0dFz10R529g

I think it's the only song this year that I like that even has a video. But on a plus side, she has flock of seagull hair (the I Ran video, not the later Space Age Love Song video).

 

[Darkkn]

Woodkid - Run Boy Run.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lmc21V-zBq0

Great track and neat MV.

 

[injurai]

Grimes - Oblivion

I never walk about After dark
It's my point of view
That someone could break your neck
Coming up behind you always coming and you never have a clue

Captain Murphy - Duality

Soo good. If I could consider this single long mix an album it would make AOTY.

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

XXYYXX - About You was pretty cool

I really liked the video for Tiny Tortures from Flying Lotus

That was brilliant! makes me appreciate the song all the more.

 

[The Return of]

Serious Rap List (NSFW):

Can't link cause it's too much work on my phone but there is also ASAP Rocky - Goldie, Killer Mike - Big Beast, El-P - Full Retard, and Drake - HYFR. This has been such a great year for music videos though.

"Bad Girls" was probably the best vid this year. But I hate the song and I'm sure a million other people will post it so....

haha, I definitely was about the post it. I like the song though

 

[HiResDes]

Fuck, Big Beast, HYFR, and Full Retard are definitely better than most of my list.

 

[Lv99 Slacker]

"Hey, Jane" by Spiritualized

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9U_EqgBWnmc

 

[f0rk]

Fuck, Big Beast, HYFR, and Full Retard are definitely better than most of my list.

I don't understand why Birthday Song doesn't qualify for the serious rap list.

 

[The Return of]

Fuck, Big Beast, HYFR, and Full Retard are definitely better than most of my list.

I was honestly really surprised you didn't name them. Figured you forgot and I'll remind you haha.

Edit: Birthday song has an awesome video.

[kitchenmotors]

Twin Shadow - Five Seconds



Beach House - Lazuli



Boody & Le1f - Soda



Mykki Blanco - Haze.Boogie.Life



Perfume Genius - Take Me Home

 

[HiResDes]

I don't understand why Birthday Song doesn't qualify for the serious rap list.

Because I knew others would cover it, no other reason

 

[Jay Sosa]

Birthday video would be a good choice if it wasn't for Kanyes ridiculous pants. Or Kanye.

I like that one, ghetto as fuck:

TI - Ball

And for whatever reason that one:

Azelia Banks - 1991

Aaaand that one:

Chris Brown - Till I Die

 

[Addi]

Woodkid - Run Boy Run.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lmc21V-zBq0

Great track and neat MV.

Yes! Woodkid (Yoanne Lemoine) directed his own music video. His second video, Run boy run, is also cool. He also directs for other artists, loved the one he made for Lana Del Rey - Blue Jeans:

https://vimeo.com/38985704

An other awesome french director is Romain Gavras (Justice - Stress, etc). His video for Jay-Z & Kanye West - 'No church in the wild' is great:

https://vimeo.com/43051867

EDIT: I like that the OP mentioned Todd Terje

 

[HiResDes]

Forgot about this:
