“Maybe it’s a good thing MTV stopped playing videos.”

Via King-Mag

There are a lot of great movies out there, just as there are a lot of great songs. For some strange reason, the two seem to cancel out when combined. At the top of the list was Nas‘ “Street Dreams” video but Luda, Jigga and De La come strong to fill out the list. See for yourself…

10. Ludacris, “Slap” (Taxi Driver)
This man-in-the-mirror monologue was more hideous than De Niro showing up in Rocky & Bullwinkle. Yes, Luda, we’re talkin’ to you.

9. Busta Rhymes, “I Love My Chick” (Mr. & Mrs. Smith)
Trevor Smith plays, well, Mr. Smith to Gabrielle Union’s Mrs. Smith. Much to Busta’s chagrin, they didn’t share Brangelina’s on-set—or off-set—chemistry.

8. De La Soul, “Oooh” (The Wizard of Oz)
It was probably the biggest-budget Tommy Boy video ever, but why do the Tin Man’s speakers look like man-boobs?

7. Joe Budden, “Pump It Up” (The Ring)
One-hit wonder crawls through our TV set and into the living room. No offense, Joe, but we’d rather have Nina Sky do that.

6. The Diplomats, “Crunk Muzik” (The Warriors)
Dr. Ben Chavis as Cyrus? Can you dig it? Only with a shovel to bury this clunker.

5. Busta Rhymes, “Dangerous” (Lethal Weapon)
After caking on White Chicks–like makeup to look like Mel “Sugar Tits” Gibson, Busta morphs into Sho’Nuff from The Last Dragon and kicks his own ass. Huh?

4. Young Buck, “Shorty Wanna Ride” (Natural Born Killers)
True, Malinda Williams looks great as Mallory Knox. But Pauly Shore, atrocious special effects and a laughable green-screen montage sink this PCP-laced parody.

3. Ja Rule, “Mesmerize” (Grease)
Attention, stylists: Ashanti in leather pants, good. Ja Rule in a varsity cardigan, bad—very bad.

2. Jay-Z, “The City Is Mine” (The Usual Suspects)
The Roc’s Keyser Söze literally limps through a ridiculous interrogation by an equally lost Michael Rapaport. Suspect, indeed.
