In tribute to last night’s finale of America’s Best Dance Crew, we need to pay homage to the art of the dance video.
The face of music has changed dramatically over the past 30 years. When MTV was created in 1983, it was a network that broadcasted music ONLY-24/7. Hard to believe, but that’s how it was.

Not your typical dance video, but this one became known as ‘the treadmill video.’ The concept keeps us interested because we can’t imagine what they will do next. You know this video made a statement when Common took notice and shouted them out in Drivin’ Me Wi
