9. Gzus Piece f/ SandMan – Haters Anthem (2008)
As we mentioned in the previous slide, YouTube videos were still a relatively new technology in 2008. And directors were few and far between back then. I know that sounds foreign now, seeing as every kid with a Canon thinks he or she is the new Hype Williams, but in ’08 it was quite expensive and difficult to get a video done.
However, Gzus was able to pull off a captivating video that included a small budget, a set, a wardrobe and extras. There was even a classroom scene where students were earning their PHD’s (player haters degree.) It was a solid clip at the time, that proved you didn’t need a big budget to put together something dope — all you need was a bit of creativity.
Also, if you missed his hard-to-find and slept-on 2008 mixtape, Rent Money, you can grab that here. Vintage posts, baby.
