Kanye West

This surrealistic Michel Gondrydirected video, filled with Yuletide spirit, is the superior of two clips Kanye West commissioned for “Heard.” He plays a homeless man and father of three kids who is allowed into a department store after-hours by a security guard (Maroon 5’s Adam Levine). Holiday magic ensues, including hot-rod beds and flying toy pianos.

Sia

Throaty electronica chanteuse Sia’s amazing video relies on the manual shuffle of 2,500 Polaroid photographs. Don’t miss the quick frames in which she wears a “Star Wars” storm trooper helmet.

Nas’ latest musical open letter -- which samples a Jesse Jackson speech over a sparse piano hook -- urges political self-determination and exhorts listeners to “throw up a fist for black power.”

“Chulin Culin Chunfly”

This frequently hilarious reggaeton video is like three short films about street crime rolled into one -- and set to some surprisingly restrained crunk from producer Lil Jon. Scenes include a backroom mafia deal, a vicious street gang stomp and a brief Jackie Chan-esque kung fu interlude.
