Another music video which came to mind when tring to think of other good examples of an interesting music video was "Under Pressure" by Logic.
The 'first person shooter' style music video was directed by Stephen Wayne Mallet where Logic and his team pulls of a perfectly planned heist.
Here's some examples of what I noticed:
1) Genre-related style and iconography is present through this visual as the song is about being "Under Pressure" similar to how you'd be under pressure on a diamond heist. The lyrics are also being illustrated through the video as well.

| The fast paced song is related to the gritty point of view style of the video |
2) Thought beats are present; when Logic begins rapping, the conflict within the video begins, the lyrics are illustrated by the visuals.
 |
| When Logic shoots the first security person guarding the diamonds, the beat becomes more layered. |
3) At the end of the video, at the same time as Logic raps "Every diamond in my chain, yeah, that's a milestone", diamonds can be seen in the visuals. This shows how the music video for Under Pressure illustrates the lyrics.
