Hip hop dominated the early years with artists such as Eminem, Jay-Z, Black Eyed Peas etc.

This is 'Stan' from Eminem.
This promo is illustrative as it illustrates the meaning behind the song with the narrative.

Slipknot's 'Vermillion' music promo is important because of the editing.

This video contains post production techniques such as speeding up one part of the video and slowing down another part.
The narrative fits with a few of the lyrics of the song.

This is from Foo Fighters and is called 'Learn to Fly'.
This promo includes comic references to airplanes and the narrative fits with the song.
The promo does this in a entertaining and rather film like way as the pilots fall unconscious and the band go and fly the plane while one of them reads a book called learn to fly.
