R&B Videos influenced by "The Matrix"

All these came out with in a short span of time in relation to each other. I'm sure I've missed some, but children, discuss.

I'm sure some videos came out prior to the Matrix too.

What? No....get out of here! Are you sure there were videos before The Matrix? My history books don't say any thing about that

Lol oh, sorry for the assholery then.

Yeah, but these are tottally cashing in on the look and feel of the matix. The leather, the dark tone, they grey-green ish type feel as well. Even special effects.

Something about Aaliyah's Try Again video did it for me too then. I'm trying to remember if any Busta Rhymes videos following The Matrix were inspired by it too.

I don't know why but for some reason I thought back to New Edition's Hit Me Off, En Vogue's Whatever and Tamia's Imagination when reading your topic, though those all came out before The Matrix.

Yes! Try Again! I knew I was missing some smile

I know Timbaland was loving him some Matrix back then. In fact, the intro to Missy's "Da Real World", Timbo says something like "I'm speaking to you from the Matrix" or something like that.

Since it's somewhat R&Biss, this song for sure reminds me of The Matrix

And a few others


Pistols sounded like "Fuck off," wheras The Clash sounded like "Fuck Off, but here's why.."- Thedigitialgardener

All music is shit music and no music is real- gunsnhalen

Datdonkeydick- Asherfierce

Gary Hunts Album Isn't That Good- Soulalive
