My best-of list is up at RapReviews now, here:
http://www.rapreviews.com/year/year2008.html
Videos from my favorite albums, in alphabetical order:

1. Atmosphere, "When Life Gives You Lemons, You Paint That Shit Gold," and "Strictly Leakage." Official video for "Guarantees."


2. Erykah Badu, "New Amerykah: Part One (4th World War)." "Soldier" live on VH1.

3. Black Milk, "Tronic". Video for "Give the Drummer Some."

4. Cool Kids, "Bake Sale." Video for "Black Mags."

5. Elzhi, "The Preface." Performing "Moown 25" live.

6. Invincible, "Shapeshifters." Video for "Sledghammer!"


7. "Machete Vox Presents Sneak Preview." Z-Man's "Crumb of the Bay" (not on the album).


8. Q-Tip, "The Renaissance." "Move."

Q-Tip - "Move" from Three/21 Films on Vimeo.

9 Red Ants, "Omega Point." The video for "Dirty Space Alchemy" using footage from the Ralph Bakshi film "Wizards." I'm not totally in love with Modulok's bombastic flow, but Vincent Price is a wicked beatmaker.


10. Steinski, "What Does It All Mean?" "Lesson 3," with visuals.
