Spectactular of Pretty Ricky Tipsy Series

This will be the 1st and last post about any member of Pretty Ricky, unless something ridiculous like this happens again. I want to know where was Pretty Ricky's publicist when these videos were released. I can MAYBE understand how the 1st video got out, but the 2nd..I'm not understanding. Who told him this would be hot?? I'm sure everyone has seen Spectacular's infamous grinding challenge. I decided to post some of my favorite reactions to this foolishness

Taylor Swift ft. T-Pain - Thug Story

This is one of the funniest things I have ever seen. Taylor Swift or T Swizzle teamed up with T-Pain for the Country Music Awards.

Jay-Z - D.O.A.

Jay-Z's video for "D.O.A" premiered during the post show of the BET Awards. The video is as raw as the song. While viewing this video you might get a T.I. "Live Your Life" feel. "D.O.A." shares the same director as T.I.'s video, Anthony Mandler. "D.O.A." is the 1st single from
Jay-Z's Blueprint 3 which will be released on September 11th.

Remember The Time

Ocean's 7


If you are not up on the Ocean's 7 that's why I'm here. A couple months ago on youtube I came across Jermaine Dupri's channel. I am a big JD fan and started watching his videos and became addicted. From the music sessions, the crazy conversations, and Johnta Austin's fascination with Jazmine Sullivan's boobs..oh excuse me titties. I have enjoyed every video. Seeing JD make a beat from scratch is amazing. The Ocean's 7 came about when JD, B. Cox, and Johnta started working on Usher's new album in Las Vegas. They decided to tear the city down like the rat pack did back in the day. Originally the Ocean's was JD, B.Cox, Johnta, Tyrone (JD's assistant), & Usher. Then Johnta started working with Trey Songz and they decided to add him to the Ocean's crew. Which I think was perfect, I have became a bigger fan of Trey Songz since he joined. Nelly got wind of this and decided that he should be part of this movement and let them have it since he "made you Niggas". The Ocean's crew is debating on if they should let Bow Wow join the crew because Bow Wow is not feeling the dress code. All of them got together and made a DOPE mixtape. They have taken it to another level. I can't believe they made it available for FREE. I listen to it everyday a couple times a day. Trey Songz verses...hotness. The entire mixtape is pure dopeness. Check out the videos and links below.

Beyonce ft. Kanye West - Ego

Beyonce's "Ego" is sticking to what she has been doing for most of the "I Am..Sasha Fierce" album. Black & white video, leotard, 2 back up dancers. This video is VERY simple. It was probably shot in 1 day, if it took longer than that I wouldn't understand why. Beyonce fans have came accustomed to seeing her looking "fierce" and doing a dance routine and they get that with "Ego". Mr. West is looking very daper and his verse is hot.

Ciara ft. Missy Elliott - Work

This video/song should have been released as Ciara's 1st single from "Fantasy Ride". I think if it was the 1st single it would have gave Ciara's CD the push it really needs. She would have sold more albums and the CD release date wouldn't have been pushed back. This is what Ciara is known for dance tracks. It features one of my favorite artists Missy Elliott (when is the new Missy album coming?) and it also directed by one of my favorite directors Melina. It reminds me a little of Beyonce's "Diva" because the industrial environment meeting the high fashion and both vidoes share the same director. Either way I am feeling this. The dancing is dope, happy to see Missy Elliott, and Ciara's body is sick. When I first saw this video I kinda got a B. Scott "Bitch Hold My Ponytail" feel. My fellow Love Muffins know what I mean. LOL

Gnarles Barkley - Who's Gonna Save My Soul

It's been awhile since I posted but I'm back. This video might be old to some of you, but I just saw it for the 1st time a couple of weeks ago. I think this is fighting for my favorite video of all time. I have never seen anything like it. Gnarles Barkley is not scared to be creative and go outside the box. The video is directed by Chris Milk whose credits include Kanye West's "Touch The Sky", Gnarles Barkley "Gone Daddy Gone", Nike commercials, among others. This video is dank (basically means way bomb) LOL. Check it out!
