Inspirational music videos.

80's.
Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five - The Messagehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PobrSpMwKk4


'The Message' is on of the most influential songs of the 80's decade and
 also the rap and Afro-American community.

 Grandmaster's upbringing grew his hunger and egoism; so the only option he had, was to succeed.

In the music video, poverty, violence, abuse and drug-use are portrayed in order to spread the image of the hood so the world can open their eyes and see how hard life is for an Afro-American!

00's
Andre 3000 - Hey Ya!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PWgvGjAhvIw

Andre 3000 is considered to be one of rap's greatest ; if not the best!
While making 'Hey Ya' ,(which is his biggest hit, topping the American charts for 9 weeks and winning him 11 awards!) Andre 300 had already thought of the process and the content of the video clip and he has previously shared that 'he was very excited about that song'! In the video clip, Andre 3000 and the rest of his band can be seen wearing green clothing which symbolises life and energy, something that was required for the shooting of this video clip as Andre was dancing the whole time!

10's
Travis Scott - SICKO MODE feat Drake.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ONRf7h3MdkTravis Scott and Drake are arguably the best artists of the past 5 years and their collaboration on Travis Scott album 'Astroworld' was obviously going to be a hit! The music video contains of many women and other factors that state the 'rich life'. Although in some parts, some lyrics and shots do show that the rich life is suitable for everyone as there are many models out in the street showing that Travis does not even care about them; or when Drake says 'Pass this to my daughter, I'ma show her what it took'
