Music videos have become an important part of promoting an artist. That is why singers and bands do not spare neither strength nor resources to make the best, the most unexpected and the catchiest video. But such a video clip requires a lot of money, sometimes budget of the music video can be compared with the one for a movie. Below are Top 5 expensive music videos in the world.
1.    Puff Daddy featuring The Notorious B.I.G. and Busta Rhymes – Victory. It is not a secret that every rap singer wants to stand out wasting thus large sums of money. In this video they joined not only their talents but their purses as well. Such a cooperation resulted in $ 2,7 million.

2.    Guns N’ Roses – Estranged. The video has become a final part of unofficial trilogy of videos. The price of the clip is $ 4 million. The sum is quite understandable as participation of bottlenose dolphins, SWAT members and oil tanker in the video is too pricey.

3.    Madonna – Die Another Day. The song was released alongside the James Bond film of the same name. The video shows Madonna being tortured in a number of ways while Good Madonna and Bad Madonna duel with a variety of weapons—from fencing foils to harpoon guns—in her subconscious. The total production costs for the video were over $6 million making it the third expensive music video ever.

4.    Michael Jackson and Janet Jackson – Scream. I would call this video no less than a black and white science fiction/pop masterpiece. Both Jacksons dancing along the walls and ceilings of a spaceship while anime and pop art are featured on displays throughout. The budget of the video is $ 7 million.

5.    30 Seconds to Mars – From Yesterday. The band paid $ 8 million to get access to the entirety of People’s Republic of China. The whole cost is $ 12 million, and it is the most expensive music video in the world so far.

Everybody listens to music daily either driving home and to work or as a background at home. So, I can say that music plays an important role in our everyday life. For that reason there are lots of complaints on the issue. The number one complaint is repetition. The same songs are broadcasted over and over again. Below is the list of good, even awesome and super popular songs that still have become really annoying due to excessive broadcasting.
•    Hotel California – The Eagles. One of the most recognizable songs in the history. Still who keeps on listening to the same stuff for decades? This single is definitely outdated.

•    Under the Bridge – Red Hot Chili Peppers. This is a bane of every modern rock radio station. And the problem is not the song itself (by the way, it is gorgeous), but the number of times it has been broadcasted. Everybody who listens to radio or watches music videos have heard it at least 1000 times yet. That seems to be enough.

•    Stairway to Heaven – Led Zeppelin. It has to be the most overplayed song in the history of broadcasting. There were times when the single closed every grade school dance, but that was so long ago. Led Zeppelin does not make new music any more, and the old tracks have to be thrown away.

•    You might blame me for my choice but the next song in this list is We Are the Champions, or We Will Rock You – Queen. The song itself is one of the best and the most successful in the history, yet it is high time to say it goodbye. It has the right to sound at stadiums but not on your way to work.

Modern world is changing rapidly that is why I can see no reason to stay in the same place for decades in music industry. Let’s go ahead!

When you are told about rap songs, what do you tend to think about? It might be cool stylish men, wise words or something on the contrary. But you are unlikely to mention sentimental feelings. However, that is precisely what I would like to show you today – the best sentimental rap songs.
And the first song video is “Dear Mama” by 2Pac. The rapper introduced the trend into the industry. After him lots of rap musicians dedicated their songs to moms. That turned into a sort of fashion in the 90s.

Another masterpiece belongs to Ghostface feat. Mary J. Blige and is called “All That I Got Is You”. As I have just mentioned, the song is a tribute to mother in which he describes what obstacles she managed to go through during her life.

Mary J. Blige also worked with a famous rapper Method Man, in the result of which they released a wonderful duet song “I’ll Be There For You” that held the first numbers in music charts. By the way, their song won a Grammy Award for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group. That dates back to 1996.

Let’s pass over to the next masterpiece that is called “I Need Love”. The song is considered the first rap composition about love. In fact, thanks to romantic ballads like this one we all know the name of LL Cool J who performed it.

And the last sentimental rap song for today is a single from De La Soul that is a jazzyfied hip-hop band. The guys were the first to sing about women, love in a sweet way. Their song “Eye Know” is the best one. It kept leading positions in music charts for a long time. Yeah. Nothing can be more sweet than guys in love.
