Escaping MIMS' single "This Is Why I'm Hot" in 2007 proved difficult. It also signaled yet another milepost on the road to creative bankruptcy for Top 40 rap. Remember the video? Neither do we, which is why The Typing Monkey was impressed not just that the single from the MC's new album earns repeat listens -- but that the video for said single, "Move (If You Wanna)," is kind of fun to watch.
Granted, hip-hop videos rarely set the bar high. And if you'd like read more of our reasoning behind that assertion, move (if you wanna, tee hee) to the post just below this for a treatise on rap video. In the meantime, though we never anticipated typing this, enjoy the '90s-retro Spike Jonze-edness of this:

And at no extra cost to you, if you haven't already seen Kid Cudi's "Day 'N' Nite" video 23 times, watch it here. It's pretty good too, and we hope part of a larger change in the direction of rap video.
