I've researched hip hop, dancehall, reggae and urban popula music videos. The main reaosns as to why I decided to look into video musics is to analysis the camera movement, action/composition, lighting as reasons why these are done (what relation does it have to the song and artist).
Here's a video from Sean Paul's debute single; 'Watch them Roll'. The video very well reflects on the lyrics to this as it's talking about watching women come up to him and dance. I chose this video to analyse because the lyrics revolve around the artist.
Another music video I looked carefuly into was Destiny's Childs' song; Soldier. This song can easily be compared with the song from Princess Landa as they're raising their status - looking for soldiers but in Princess Landa's case, no time for anyone who isn't worth her time. (Ni time Fi Dem)
However, sticking to the genre; Dancehall and reggae, I've look at music videos of this genre.

I like the idea that the video is in black and white and colour edits in the sequences. It gives and uptempo and contempory vibe to the music video.
