Best Hip Hop Video Clips

[Elia Khensamphanh]

Iwent to Wednesday night's game between the Los Angeles Clippers and the Boston Celtics with a friend of mine from back east. She grew up in Boston in the eighties, and her last name is Bird, so yeah, pretty much, she's a Celtics fan. (She's also a Pats and Sox fan, so your typical Masshole regarding sports, but nice enough as long as you stay away from that subject.)

She had never been to a Clippers game and never watched the Celtics outside of Massachusetts, so when I asked her if she wanted to go to a game this season, she immediately circled January 8 on her calendar.

When the Clippers went on a 18-0 first quarter run, she got a little quiet. But the Celtics came back to make a game of it, and we had a good time talking some trash back and forth the rest of the way. And then it happened.

Now, while she likes all things Boston, she's not the most active NBA fan. So while she was well aware that Doc Rivers was now coaching the Clippers, she was quite surprised to see Kris Humphries wearing green. And don't ask how she knew who Kris Humphries was, because you already know the answer.

Obviously the STAPLES Center crowd exploded when Blake Griffin posterized the erstwhile Kardashian. Surely I can't be the first person to dub this dunk the Humpty Hump? She got very quiet once again. To cheer her up, I explained to her how historic this all was. That while she surely knew that Griffin was famous for his dunks and appeared on Sports Center almost nightly with one monster or another, that she had just witnessed something special. In her first-ever Clippers game, she had seen one of the great dunks of all time. She took very little solace in this information.

So where does the Humpty Hump rank? For me, it's at the very top of the list. Mozgov was just an obstacle; like the steppes of central Asia, he stood there as Blake rose up and up and up. The Perk was amazing because Kendrick clearly doesn't like being dunked on, and he tried to do something about it, but just got there too late.

Humphries was a different story. Wrong place, wrong time, wrong guy. He knew there was nothing he could do, but he realized it too late. Blake has given a whole lot of guys posterphobia over the last four years, and when they can, they just run away before the shutter clicks. Unlike Mozgov and Perkins, who stood in with pride and took their medicine, Kim's Ex literally cowered; it's the combination of what Blake did and the "please don't hurt me" look on Humphries face that makes this the best Griffin poster ever, in my opinion.

Notice also in the side by side that while Blake didn't bother to even glance at Mozgov or Perkins, he did give Humphries a disdainful stare. These guys have a history -- Humphries has had some big games against Blake and bested him on a couple of occasions, not to mention delivering a few hard fouls. I can't say for certain, but it seems to me that Griffin enjoyed this one a bit more. Maybe a lot more

It's been almost two full years since the Perk. There have been plenty of great Griffin dunks in the interim, but this Mozgov-type dunk has become so iconic that we clearly missed having one for so long. And for me, this was the best of the three. Then again, he couldn't have picked a better victim.

I added some of the clips to the flip-flops. Not all the clips will work, but these two work perfectly. If you get them, make sure to clip them on one side of the center rather right in the center. They will stay on so much better.

Oh, I love-love-love shoe clips!!! I used to use them all the time. When I worked at Lazarus (which became Macy's) in the early '90s, and on my feet all day, I had a pair of black flats that were comfy and wore them almost every day so having clips to change them was a big help. I made several pairs but the one I can think of at the moment is the pair I made for Christmas out of plaid ribbon. I love your clips! So cute! And yes, so great for a cruise! ?

I have been using various forms of chip clips to close up bags of chips, rice, pasta, beans, etc. in my pantry for nearly my whole life. Sometimes they were the actual fancy chip clips they sell at the grocery store, but most of the time I just ended up using a very un-fancy clothespin instead.

To use them, you start by folding down the top edge of an open bag. Slide the protruding guide under the fold of the bag, then keep sliding the stick across the bag until the entire width of the bag is wedged between the inner stick and the outer sleeve.

Not only do I love how much easier and more effective they are, but I also feel good about being able to cut back on how many ziplock bags we use in the kitchen. Instead of putting a half-used bag of frozen corn into a ziplock bag before putting it back in the freezer, I just use a Gripstic instead!

There's nothing quite like risking your own life along with all your friends for a couple of views and maybe even a follow. During my team's many expeditions to the old world, we've figured out a winning formula for views: catchy intro, someone dying on camera, plenty of screaming, and if we have time and the sanity to record an outro alongside one of the monstrosities, then that's an added bonus.

Usually, these clips go to waste, living out the rest of their lives in an untouched folder. But now, Content Warning's publisher, Landfall, is starting a lost footage project, and it welcomes any player to send over their clips. It links a waiver and application form to fill out in a Twitter post for you to read and sign if you want to. Footage must be unedited, but you can send over exported footage that didn't survive the round (ie, your whole group died trying to get a funny clip of a monster). The clips also don't have to be in English, but "content in languages we don't speak will be harder for us to evaluate (since we won't understand it), but it is still allowed," Landfall points out in a Tweet.

If you do end up sending your videos to Landfall, your clips will be scattered into other players' games as discs for them to find and watch. So, who knows, you really could go viral or at least make a couple of people laugh.

One clip that I would consider sending off sees my group warily making our way through the old world. Between me muttering to myself, saying that I want to go home, and one friend's eternal optimism that everything's going to work out okay, someone in my team gets grabbed by a ceiling star and immediately gets dragged up into the air and hung upside down.

After my very helpful observation of "it's grabbed you," I get to work trying to pry open the ceiling star's jaws so it'll drop them. My other teammate recorded the entire thing, so I soon found out after watching it back that my heroic efforts didn't look very cool as I jumped up and down with a boom mic, yelling at the monster to let my friend go.

It may not seem like much, but I was still pretty proud of my effort to save my comrade, even if I did end up leaving him for dead and running away. So, I'm happy to know that someone else now has the chance to appreciate this heroic endeavor as well if they find my disc.

All in One Plus - Say you want to hang C7/C9 bulbs on one part of your home, but you'd also like to be able to hang icicle lights or mini lights in another area, or maybe you want to hang C7/C9 lights on your gutter and layer icicle lights or mini lights underneath. If so, this is the versatile clip you have been searching for! The "plus" part of the All In One Plus clip is the unique ability to hang two strings of lights simultaneously on gutters.
