In case you couldn’t tell, Complex loves music videos. Earlier this week, we dropped our comprehensive countdown of the 100 Best Music Videos of the 2000s (click here if you missed it), but something was still missing. What would music videos be without the so-called “video vixen,” the model/dancer/actresses who provide us with a little aspirational eye candy in our darkest hour?
The last decade has truly been the golden age for the music video model, from icons like Melyssa Ford to new favorites like Rosa Acosta. Even some of the world’s sexiest celebrities (ScarJo!) have made memorable video appearances, so we wanted to provide a comprehensive look back at all the ladies who have caught our eye on MTV, BET and YouTube over the last 10 years. Check out Complex’s 50 favorite music video models below…

This week we brought you our Top 100 Style Trends of the decade. But we can’t sleep on our trend-setting female friends—we all know this world would be pretty lame if it weren’t for things like short-shorts, stilettos, and freak’um dresses. So, to pay homage to the opposite sex for making themselves look so appetizing, we’re back with the Top 10 Women’s Trends of the 2000s.
Granted, this list is heavily favored toward the trends that portrayed the female form in all its glory, which means we skipped shit like the furry boots that make your wifey look like a confused Eskimo. We included our favorite sexy trends, and—more importantly—the sexy women that rocked them so well. You probably have a list of your own, but stop frontin’, ours is way better. Read on for the best…

We’re heading into the stretch run of our almighty Aughts countdowns—i.e., Top 100 Sports Moments | Top 100 T-shirts | Top 100 Girls | Top 100 Albums | Top 100 Sneakers | Top 100 Movies | Top 100 Internet Videos | Top 100 Video Games | Top 100 TV Shows—and word to Vanessa Williams, we’re saving some of the best for last. Don’t take this to mean we’re not thoroughly knowledgeable about the other subjects we’ve already covered, but if Complex are authorities on anything, it’s men’s style. We observe trends, we set trends, we hump trends, we dump trends, we are trends. This is what we do!
Our comprehensive inventory of the 100 Best Style Trends of the 2000s covers the good (plaid, chambray shirts, workwear), the bad (trucker hats, grills, back-pocket detail), and the WTF-were-you-thinking (headbands, skulls, full-zip hoodies). If you wore it during the last decade, chances are it’s on our list. So check the link below and get to clicking…and hating.

It’s November, and you know what that means, right? Probably time to get that August rent check in the mail. Only two months left in the first decade of the 21st Century! Kinda crazy, innit?!? We’ve spent the past few weeks counting down all our favorite things from the past ten years with our 200 proof Top 100 Lists: Top 100 T-Shirts | Top 100 Girls | Top 100 Albums | Top 100 Sneakers | Top 100 Movies | Top 100 Internet Videos | Top 100 Video Games. | Top 100 TV Shows.

Now what, you ask, does Complex know about sports? Quite a bit it turns out. We know some dude named Lance won some bike races this decade; we know we’ve finally got a president that can hoop; we know some dimpled quarterback won a few Super Bowls. But those aren’t really the moments we’re interested in. Instead of the plays that make you say “Wow, that’s inspiring!” we’re more for the ones that make you say “Holy mother of man, that’s disgusting!” Hey, we’re a little off, what can we say? So if you’re at all like us, you won’t avert your eyes as we present the 100 Best Sports Moments of the 2000’s.

That’s right, another decade of our youth lost to the boob tube. We could’ve run a marathon, we could’ve started our own business, we could’ve joined the Peace Corps. But we didn’t. Instead we spent hours (upon hours upon hours) parked in front of our television set zoned out like crackheads. There ain’t no shame in our game—in fact, we’re proud to share our extensive knowledge of the idiot box with our totally comprehensive guide to the 100 Best TV Shows of the decade. Grab a drink, your favorite snack, and of course the remote…

We know, we’re dropping “Best of the 2000s” lists on you like rappers drop “at the end of the day” on us. But at the end of the day, you guys are clickin’ so we’re going to keep it going. In light of our most recent countdown, The Top 100 Video Games of the 2000s, we’ve decided that there needs to be a tribute to the consoles that allow us to put our procrastination skills to good work. While it seems more than obvious which consoles have come out, no one has crowned a king just yet. Fortunately for you we like to push the envelope and press buttons. So hate it or love it, here are our The Top 10 Video Game Consoles of the Decade…

Okay, you probably saw this one coming. If you’ve been following our Best of the 2000s series, then you already know that we just dropped our countdown of the Top 100 Video Games of the decade. And a few weeks ago, we went internet Diamond with our list of the Top 100 Hottest Girls. But what about girls who are also video games?
Sure, Laura Croft was that chick in the ’90s, but what about the digital girls (no Jamie Foxx) who have captured our hearts over the last 10 years? Get to know our 10 favorite video game vixens below…

We’ve been doing some pretty extensive Best Of The 2000s lists lately—oh, you haven’t noticed? Try: Top 100 T-Shirts | Top 100 Girls | Top 100 Albums | Top 100 Sneakers | Top 100 Movies | Top 100 Internet Videos. Whew. But among all consumable goods, no other product has been as consistently successful (and recession-proof) as the almighty video game. We should probably dig up some nifty stat to insert here, but suffice to say, video-game companies continue to make shitloads of money while other industries struggle to stay up. Thank you, couch potatoes!
The 2000s saw the emergence (and subsequent death) of multiple generations of consoles as well as the advancement of video-game design into a veritable art form. We waded through the titles to produce our definitive list of the 100 Best Video Games of the decade. Grab your controller, hit start, and get ready to be mad…

If you’ve been following our ongoing “Best of the 2000s” series, then you probably checked out this week’s massive countdown, The Top 100 T-Shirts (click here if you missed it). But with all the graphic goodness over the last decade, we didn’t have a chance to show love to the greatest blank T-shirts that we’ve worn over the last 10 years. Blank Tees are gonna be all the rage this winter anyway, so it makes sense for us to count them down, and put you on in time for the indoor season. Hit the jump for the Greatest Blank T-Shirts of the 2000s…

A t-shirt is just a t-shirt, right? Wrong. Especially wrong if you’ve been around this niche little industry we call streetwear. The past decade saw a rise in independent street fashion labels cranking out t-shirts with meanings, homages and dope graphics that became instant classics. We’ve even seem some brands who we thought would be around forever close up shop. Trust, a lot has gone on. Continuing with our Best Of The 2000s series (in case you missed ’em: Top 100 Girls | Top 100 Albums | Top 100 Sneakers | Top 100 Movies | Top 100 Internet Videos), we now turn to the 100 Best T-Shirts of the last 9 years. Expect to see some you lined up for, as well as some under-the-radar shirts that you probably slept on. Let the madness begin…
