Trey Songz - Brand New

Trey Songz - Brand New



Trey Songz new video has been released it's called Brand New. I am a Trey Songz fan. I think he is underrated. He has a great voice and then he can switch it up and give you a flow that's just as good. I am looking forward to his new album. I know he has been working with Jermaine Dupri, B. Cox, and Johnta Austin for his 3rd album. I know it's gonna be hot!

Kanye West - Welcome To Heartbreak



Kanye West's latest video is Welcome To Heartbreak ft. Kid Cudi directed by NABIL. Seeing this video kinda threw me off a little bit. i have digital cable and from the effects I thought my cable was messing up. LOL! But leave it to Kanye to come with a crazy and creative visual. I love this song and video is dope

Chrisette Michele - Epiphany



One of my favorite artists as released a new video. Chrisette Michele - Epiphany directed by Ray Kay. Chrisette is very underrated. Her 1st album was great. I am glad is releasing another Epiphany in stores May 5. This track was written by Ne-Yo and the video co-stars Drake. I am really feeling this I am liking what Ray Kay is doing with light. Chrisette is looking FAb with this new haircut. The song and video pure hottness

The Lonely Island - I'm On a Boat




The Lonely Island ft. T-Pain - I'm On a Boat directed by Akiva Schaffer aka Kiv
I have been seeing the promos for The Lonely Island that have been playing on MTV and was a little confused because the promos where like some throwback 80s MTV Spring Break thing and plus I was like "ain't that the dudes from SNL" LOL. One of the songs they did the promo for was I'm On a Boat ft. T-Pain and that really threw me off. So I went to youtube and found the video and I couldn't stop laughing. Not only was the video hilarious but the lyrics are just as funny.

"I got my swim trunks, and my flippie-floppies
I'm flippin burgers, you at Kinko's straight flippin copies"

"I'm ridin on a dolphin, doin flips and shit
The dolphin's splashin, gettin e'rybody all wet
But this ain't Seaworld, this is real as it gets
I'm on a boat motherfucker, don't you ever forget"

[T-Pain]
Yeah, never thought I'd be on a boat
It's a big blue watery road (yeah)
Poseidon~!! Look at me, oh (all hands on deck)
Never thought I'd see the day
When a big boat comin my way
Believe me when I say, I fucked a mermaid

What, The What. LOL! I love videos like this

The Lonely Island is Andy Samberg, Akiva Schaffer, and Jorma Taccone from SNL

I was watching one of my favorite channels..MTV Jam and this video came on. P.O.S - Optimist directed by Maria Juranic. It caught my attention within the 1st 3 seconds with the tapping of the cups. I had to watch the entire video and I wasn't disappointed. The stop-motion animation is so dope. It's not the same rap/hip-hop video with booty shaking girls, jewelry, cars, mansions that the rappers don't own. The part with the toy cars reminds me of Sum 41's video The Hell Song which is one of my favorite videos. I have never heard of P.O.S or Maria Juranic. I was more interested in learning more about Maria Juranic because she is a woman. She is an independent filmmaker born and raised in Belgrade, Yugoslavia. She studied fine arts and filmmaking at Minneapolis College of Art and Design. Currently residing in New York City. I gonna have to keep an eye for her work, because I loved what I saw in the Optimist video. It is great and inspiring to see women putting out great work in this male dominated field. I really appreciate when directors go outside the box and bring something new and creative to the industry. I'm gonna have to add Maria Juranic to my favorite director list.

Lil' Wayne - Prom Queen



Lil Wayne has a new single Prom Queen which is the lead from his upcoming album. The video is directed by my favorite director DAVE MEYERS!! When I heard the song I wasn't really into it, but did commend Wayne on going outside the box. The video made me like the song. I think the story is probably true for alot of famous people. being ignored by the popular crowd but when you become famous they try to come around you and want to be included. A simple video, but having Korn as the band how dope is that. Hot video

Ciara - Love Sex & Magic



Ciara's Love Sex & Magic featuring Justin Timberlake directed by Diane Martel was recently released. The video stills had message boards going crazy and people couldn't wait to see the finished product. The song kinda reminds me of Justin's Sexy Ladies. I think the song and video is gonna have to grow on me. I have mixed feelings about. It seems like it is almost boarderlined on getting banned. The chemistry between Justin & Ciara is great and Ciara's body is AMAZING!!! Of course after seeing the video everyone is comparing Ciara to Beyonce. Right now if Ciara sneezed people will be comparing the sneeze to Beyonce's sneeze. There are some simialrites but whatever. I am just not pumped about Love Sex & Magic. Ciara's album has been pushed back a number of times but maybe Love Sex & Magic will finally create some positive buzz for her album

Keri Hilson - Knock You Down/Make Love



Keri Hilson's new video features 2 of my favorite artists, Kanye West & Ne-Yo. The video is also directed by one of my favorite directors, Chris Robinson. I have to admit it is a little weird seeing Kanye play a love interest and being romantic. It's good that the fans can see a different side of him. The song is cool. If it was just Keri solo I don't think I would like it as much. The video has some cool elements the whole floating camera vibe and the slo-mo falling with Kanye breaking into pieces. Not stuff that hasn't been done before. But still kinda dope. Before the video was released a mini video was released with Keri & Kanye for the track Make Love which is one of my favorite songs from her album. I was confused when I saw Access Granted and the song was Knock You Down..but I guessed they released the mini video to get some hype around Knock You Down. I was really feeling the clip of Make Love. Seeing the soft side of Kanye is a good look. It seemed like Keri & Kanye were really into each other. I am just happy Kanye got rid of the fro mullett.

College Hill South Beach

The new season of BET's College Hill premiered last week and it takes us to South Beach. In the 1st episode we see the cast members. For some reason the Teri and Tiffany were really feeling Brandon..dude is aiight but nothing to drool over..but different strokes for different folks. But let's get into it. KYLE & MILAN!! WOW!! Before the door knob is seen they get into it. I have to admit Kyle did over react when Milan asked if he was gay after telling her what kind of shoes she had on..I would have asked if he was gay too..not many straight guys know a woman's shoe brand..but on the boat I do think Milan was putting Kyle's bussiness in the street when she asked who was gay. The situation did go too far when Kyle was snapping on her, but I am glad that squashed their beef.

Episode 2 - Teri & Brandon. Teri is catching feelings too quick. Brandon doesn't have any commit with her. I still don't understand why Teri & Tiffany are all over him. Brandon should have talked to Teri after he realized he didn't want to hook up with her. The next episode should be interesting it look like Teri is gonna hook up with one of Brandon's friends
