Our Top Five Detroit Videos of The Summer
Now that the season’s officially over, it’s time to look at five of our favorite videos from the entire summer. Get ready to be reminded of crisp, scorching temperatures.
Technically released before summer, Kash Doll’s “Check” is a celebration of hot temperatures and beautiful, brown skin. Shot beautifully, it only increases the star power of the song itself. This is the Kash Doll we love – the unapologetic paragon with a penchant for bruising bars.
If you want to be jealous of being somewhere, try out La’Britney’s “Can’t Go Blind” for a change. The smooth, captivating song is one thing – the absolutely stunning locale is another. You’ll want to pack up and catch the first flight out of the country ten minutes after seeing this.
FMB DZ has been having a legendary summer. One of his best cuts comes in the form of “Fast Money,” a Joseph McFashion executive-produced classic that packs a real punch. The visual showcases hot temperatures and beautiful cars in a way that makes you want to grab a slushie pronto.
Coach Joey’s mafioso hit “Get To The Bag” may take place in doors, but the song’s energy make it perfect for consumption outside. It feels hot and humid, like summer days in the D. It’s definitely one of the best songs to come out this summer.
Snap Dogg and Snoop Dogg have come together for a track that many didn’t think would happen. But it’s here, and, more importantly, it’s fire. The visual, shot on the West Coast, looks absolutely toasty. There’s endless sunlight and palm trees that showcase just how good it feels there.
Baby Money drops his new track, “Speak On Me,” and it an energetic declaration of riches. Sitting on some bleachers, Baby Money shows off his riches while showing that he can rap with the best of them. It’s a difficult feat, but he pulls it off effortlessly.
Watch “Speak On Me” below.
Keloyaya moves like a boss in “Make A Play.” He shows off what comes with this life of luxury as we see the houses and the cars that make his life a thrilling good time. He brings boastful raps that bring you right into the thrill of what he’s saying.
Watch the video for “Make A Play” below.
In 2018, there’ve a number of beefs but only two have spawned diss tracks: Pusha T versus Drake and Machine Gun Kelly versus Eminem. The four tracks that have come have been brutal attacks on character of varying levels of severity. It’s time to rank them from worst to best to figure out who had the best assault on character.
4. “Killshot” by Eminem
Eminem’s diss to MGK shows that you can be the better rapper, but you can still drop an abysmal record. Em’s raps were fast and tight, and, admittedly, rhyming “damn gun” with “man bun” is as hilarious as you would think. But it ultimately lacked the heft of the classic disses in history and showed that, when left to his own devices, Eminem just can’t keep up with the new guys.
3. “Duppy Freestyle” by Drake
Drizzy’s diss towards Pusha T came from a stray lyric or two from the latter’s Daytona which he perceived to be directed towards him. In true Drake fashion, he trolls Pusha T for the course of three minutes in a fast, breathless flow that even mentions Pusha T’s wife, Virginia Williams. But Drake would soon find out that he had pressed the wrong one…
2. “Rap Devil” by MGK
No one in history would have believed that Machine Gun Kelly would best Eminem in a battle of diss songs. But he did with “Rap Devil,” a play on Em’s self-proclaimed title, that shared just how far Em has fallen from rap’s grace. Kelly’s allegations rang with a curious sense of disappointment and an overwhelming sense of bravado that made many feel that he won their brief battle.
1. “Story of Adidon” by Pusha T
Pusha T’s response to Drake’s “Duppy Freestyle” was magical. A moment in time created to the backdrop of ” Story of OJ” by JAY-Z that turned Drake’s world upside down. The revelation of the Canadian crooner hiding a child shook him to his foundation and showed that he wasn’t impenetrable as many believed.
