The national news says 49 of the 50 U.S. states have been hit with some sort of snow struggle. If your electricity remains to be intact, it’s a good enough reason to ignore the winter wonderland beyond your door and check in with The Wrap Up: Hip-Hop Wired’s Top 10 Videos Of The Week.
Personality bleeds through art and a lot of artists in this week’s lineup shed a few personal layers to make incredibly powerful visuals that should hold down their fair share of conversations throughout the year. (And it’s only February.)
Bullying is still a hot button issue in the world and the game’s biggest independent superstar not named Macklemore shows kids there can be a silver lining through the sometimes gray area of high school. Same goes for a troubled youngster who is known for spitting in the face of authority but still gives the children hope for a better tomorrow.
Still, the Valentine’s Day countdown still gives us some rosy reminders that T&A is great–especially if it’s the actual artist you get to do the gawking at.
Stay warm people and enjoy. One love.

10. Angel Haze ft. Sia – “Battle Cry”
Director: Frank Borin
Ya girl is a wild one. Always has been and most likely always will be. But that doesn’t stop her from helping the kids who can’t help themselves.
9. Thurz – “Punky Brewster”
Director: Zack Warren
If your art class never featured naked women for you to paint on, now is a good time to envy Thurz.
8. Ashanti ft. Rick Ross – “I Got It”
Director: Eif Rivera
Ashanti is back thicker than a Snicker. No wonder Nelly tied it back down.
7. Diplo ft. Travis Porter & Angger Dimas – “Biggie Bounce”
Director: Jason Miller
Diplo is a big star in a little bar and nothing but foolishness is afoot. Blame Travis Porter.
6. Starlito – “Eyes Closed”
Director: Charles M. Robinson
El Lito is still eating leftovers from last year and he has since upgraded to the penthouse.
5. Tech N9ne ft. Kendrick Lamar, ¡MAYDAY! & Kendall Morgan – “Fragile”
Director: Anthony Devera
Teens these days are faced with increasing pressure to fit in but a taste of Strange Music can provide just the right amount of inspiration. Even if it happens to be from the violin.
4. Nicki Minaj – “Lookin’ Ass N***a”
Director: NABIL
Barbz’ needs to fire her online marketer but her video team is definitely good money.
3. R.A. The Rugged Man ft. Eamon – “Still Get Through The Day”
Director: Douglas Quill
The Rugged Man’s family tree grew to be twisted and gnarly but he still allows viewers to take a peek of the garden anyway.
2. J. Cole ft. Amber Coffman – “She Knows”
Director: Sam Pilling
Jermaine Cole is a motherf***** for this one.
1. Phife Dawg – “Dear Dilla”
Director: Konee Rok
Triumph.
