So for the month of July, there was pretty much only one song I listened to, and one music video I watched the whole month.

And that was “Upper Echelon” by Travi$ Scott with T.I. & 2Chainz.

This is your Next Millennium Level of Grimy Street Hip-Hop that we ALL Miss… and the film, which was Directed by Travi$ Scott Himself.. was just as strong a Cinematic Masterpiece Visually as the overall song is Musically.

They brought the Hood Dynamic to the Forest, which may have been inspired by T.I.’s lyric about leavin folk in the Forest.

The Steadicam work on this video was amazing as well.. Especially as T.I. was goin off with his and the Slow-Mo 2Chainz Sequences that continue to perpetuate 2Chainz’ persona that I find reminiscent of the Young Dracula from Bram Stoker’s depiction.

Yo… Sickest Video Ever !!  I even played the video for my boy Efren Ramirez, y’all know, Pedro from Napolean Dynamite… and even Efren himself said he wants to be in Travi$ Scott’s new music video.. or anything else for that matter.

So yes.. Props from Proph.  This was one of those Videos that Felt like HIp-Hop AGain.. And yes, I do actually think a lot of Hip-Hop Artists are coming kinda correct right now… and this Entire Package is definitely one of those.  I’m happy to see it reach 1 Million Views, and I hope it reaches 100 More.
