Too Hot For TV

Dope music videos from 2014 that were too explicit to air.

Too Hot For TV - There were a bunch of great music videos this year as you've see in our Notarized Top 100 countdown, but some of your favorites didn't make the list. It's not because they weren't dope. Truth be told, some of the visuals either fell outside of our broadcast standards and practice or were just too risky for prime time viewership. Fortunately, these videos flourished on the Internet despite getting much airplay on networks. Check out the list of some of the hottest music videos that were deemed too hot for TV, but deserved to be recognized. -Michael Harris (@IceBlueVA)(Photos from left: Brad Barket/BET/Getty Images for BET, Bennett Raglin/BET/Getty Images for BET, Roger Kisby/Getty Images)
Azealia Banks - "Chasing Time" - Azealia Banks re-channelled Madonna and gave her "Vogue" rendition with the boy-infatuated "Chasing Time." The Harlem MC's bugged out video also featured a few spaced out dance scenes but her pasties and body paint were a little too spicy and the fear of a nipple-gate debacle put her on ice. (Photo: Prospect Park Music)
Wash featuring French Montana - “Can’t Trust Thots” - Wash gave the gold diggers an anthem to dance to and get there freak on with this French Montana assist this November. Reliving the exploits of women on a bottle- and money-chasing mission, the visual for "Can't Trust Thots" lived up to its expectation and seems to set to the R&B crooner up for a monstrous 2015. Wash spoke a lot of truth, which made it a little too heavy for prime time TV.(Photo: Intersope Records)
He's From Flatbush, Brooklyn, by way of Florida - Shmurda reps Flatbush, Brooklyn, all the way — he even shot his debut video in his neighborhood. He also lived in Florida as a child, until his mother relocated his family.(Photo: GS9 Entertainment, Fetty Films)Ne-Yo featuring Juicy J -  “She Knows” - Ne-Yo has built his reputation as being a smoothed out ladies man but for his latest smash "She Knows," he turned it up a notch and created a new strip club anthem. With Juicy J riding shotgun, the video was off the chain as it featured several athletic women trying to best one another in a pole dancing competition, which made it a little too steamy to put into rotation.(Photo: Motown)
