Directors: Syndrome

Jazmine Sullivan's newest video is released and it's for Dream Big. This is an inspiring song. The video was directed by Syndrome the team that did Jazmine last video Lion, Tigers, and Bears. Most if not all of their videos are shot creating worlds using green screen. The video is pretty cool. The message of the song is inspiring. Reach for the stars. Believe in yourself and Dream Big!

Kanye West - Amazing



Kanye West ft. Young Jeezy
Amazing
Director: Hype Williams

I was very surprised by this video. The landscapes were amazing. But I was very disappointed with this video. When Hype and Kanye get together I expect greatness, but this video fell short.

Maxwell - Pretty Wings



Maxwell
Pretty Wings
Director: Philip Andelman

Maxwell is back!! His new video is directed by Philip Andelman. Andelman has directed the Jonas Brothers "Love Bug" , Miley Cyrus "Fly on the Wall" Beyonce "Halo", Jay-Z "I Know" along with other videos. This song and video is classic Maxwell. He hasn't changed his style a bit. I was surprised by the director. I would have guessed it was Paul Hunter. This video reminds me of Van Hunt's "Down Here In Hell". I could have done without the girls floating at the end. I guessed they had too much Red Bull on set LOL. Maxwell's last album was 2001's Now. His new album Black Summer Night will be released this summer.

Ne-Yo - Part of the List



Ne-Yo
Part of the List
Director: Taj

This video is beautiful. It was filmed in Europe and the scenery is beautiful. It was directed by Taj who has been putting out some fantastic work lately. This video should have been released before Ne-Yo's "Mad' video. But I guess it works as a prequel for the video. Either way it's great. Enjoy!!

The Black Eyed Peas new video has just released. The futuristic video for their new single Boom Boom Pow

Busta Rhymes - Hustlers Anthem



Busta Rhymes ft. T-Pain
Hustlers Anthem
Director - Hype Williams

This video is classic Busta Rhymes. He has teamed up with the man who helped shape is career and whose career he has helped, Hype Williams. This video is shot completely with a fish eye lens that is a trademark for when Busta and Hype together. Busta Rhymes Woo-Hah (Got You All In Check) was the first video to use a fish eye lens and it was directed by Hype Williams. Hustlers Anthem also revisits the wardrobe from the Woo-Hah video. Without the morphing effect this video is basic and simple which can be the best. But I could do without T-Pain's grill. LOL

Eminem - We Made You



Eminem
We Made You
Director - Joseph Kahn

Eminem's new video just hit the airwaves today. The video is hilarious. I am kinda surprised that the video was directed by Joseph Kahn. I thought it would have been Phillip Atwell and it sorta reminds me of what Dave Meyers would do. This song and video is classic Eminem. He has not changed his style at all..I guess if ain't don't fix it. The single is for Eminem's new album Relapse which will be in stores May 19. It's his first studio album since the 2004 Encore cd.

Day26 - Imma Put It On Her



Day26 ft. Yung Joc & Diddy
Director - RAGE

Day26's video has just been released. It's nothing special. The song is cool. Seeing them in this video is kinda weird after seeing all the drama that they are going thru on Making The Band. Que has some issues. I think he is a perfect example of knowing who you are before you get into the music business because it can have a negative affect on you. I am liking this song. It will be interesting to see if they can break the Making The Band curse.

Pink - Please Don't Leave Me



Pink
Please Don't Leave Me
Director - Dave Meyers

This video is disturbing and fantastic at the same time. When Pink & Dave Meyers get together they always bring great videos. They seem to have great chemistry and be on the same page when it comes to creating videos. Dave Meyers has directed most of Pink's video and the last one is always better than the first. I Love this video
