A performance based music video is where a artist is performing the song almost as if its live, it doesn't tell a story but its not totally irrelevant either. One example of this is 'Flexicution'. His official music video on his YouTube channel (logicVEVO) is just clips from him performing this song at one of the concerts he's performed at.
What is a narrative music video?
This is where throughout the song the lyrics are being represented at the same time as they're coming by actions from a character. This is mostly used used to portray the meaning of the lyrics to help the artists message out. One example of this is in Logics 'Black Spider-Man' music video, throughout the song he tries to get the message of equality as people of different races approve of his message and join the parade going through the street. Towards the end the words 'Black Spiderman can he save a brother now' is sung twice. After this a man in a Spider-Man costume pulls his mask off and a African-American called 'Damian Lemar Hudson' pulls the mask off giving the idea of Spider-Man being 'black'. This helps get the message of equality get across as 'Sider-Man' (Peter Parker) is typically a 'white' male throughout all the movies.
What is a concept music video?
This a music video with no real storyline and no link to the songs lyrics. One example of this is 'Patty Cake' by Token. In his song it consists of him walking around a dentist/ floating around as just a head with no body. At one point where he's rapping he says
'Gimme everything in your pocket, the wallet
Maybe I'll be splitting it 50-50
Maybe I don't, but you gotta forgive me
Maybe I'll be splitting it 50-50
Maybe I don't, but you gotta forgive me
Come in and get me
I'm in the condominium
If the condom medium I don't get it to fit me
I'm playing..........'
I'm in the condominium
If the condom medium I don't get it to fit me
I'm playing..........'
At the same time there's just a few heads floating about not linking to the lyrics at all.
