Music video: "Fast Life"

Hey guys, this is a music video I made for an underground rapper in Boston that I'd like to get some constructive criticism on...

I made a couple music videos in high school and a few more since I've been in college, but this is the first one I actually planned out before shooting, shot in more than one day, etc... I'd really appreciate some feedback and opinions on what I can do to improve for the next one, because I'm going back to school in September and will definitely be shooting more music videos while I'm there.

Thanks!

Looks good. Maybe its a taste issue but most like 24p.... looks like it was shot 30p. I would say its almost too clean.... maybe add a little dirt to the image, some grain or something.
 
looks good all though i feel the shots of the traffic etc. were a little boring after seeing it a few times.
doesnt help that the song is terrible :) dude sounds like he could have some skills but i thought the lyrics were bad and the beat was wack. thats just my $.02. I probably would have done some more shots of the city and him on the street etc.
 
I would have like to see more motion either with the artist or in the settings/background. The cuts in the beginning could be a little quicker (or more cuts, I think they were quite lengthy) I like how it makes me focus either more on the artist or the song itself. It has a real like feel to it. Congrats on your video and I hope my comments help.
