Pop stars like Britney Spears made the decade's biggest pop songs that much more iconic, while rappers like Kanye West created visuals that would be remembered as not only the best of the decade, but also as some of the best videos of all time, full stop. While we don't dispute the star power of those putting out the videos in the '80s and '90s, the 2000s welcomed a cinematic renaissance that helped music videos for pop rock and burgeoning rap alike reach a new level of iconic. Some might argue that these were the golden years of the music video, but we beg to differ. Short films integrating a song dates back to the time when film itself was first invented, but skyrocketed in popularity in the 80s with the advent of MTV (Music Television), which originally made music videos its primary and only programming to watch. No, not professional wrestling-music videos! Specifically, the best music videos of the 2000s. Next up is that hallowed haven of all things comedic, thuggish, and surgically enhanced. We might be getting close, but we're not done sifting through every conceivable facet of Complex culture from the last decade (2000 - 2009) in our Best of the 2000s series.
