"GODZILLA" AT THE VJ’S TOP 5 MUSIC VIDEOS OF THE WEEK

Mefjus feat. Dope D.O.D. - “Godzilla” (Official Music Video)

I can honestly say that this is the greatest music video featuring a rapping legendary monster ever made. That sounds flippant, I know, but Mefjus and Dope D.O.D. commit fully to the premise and they bring the pain 110 percent. Accompanying them is a minimalist but still incredible slick animated feature by Ciro Ayala. It has the stark colors and inventive angles of Sin City, and manages to actually sell the idea of a rapping King of Monsters without for a second making it feel cheesy. Hell, Ayala makes Zilla, the horrible ‘90s-version of Godzilla, look like a force to be reckoned with. Your life isn’t complete until you’ve seen this.
