SICK | "Club Love," The Cataracts

Witnessed this electro-hop on MtvU. I was stunned by the random Omarion cameo though.

Hopefully the rest of the world will soon forget.

New New | "Run This Town," Jay-Z video

Post-pulled leak version with that annoying website in the screen, here is the official version courtesy of MTV. Kudos to Jay trying to make music on television relevant.

'98 | Even worse, if I was broke, would you want me?

Jay's classic banger featuring a then-unknown Ja Rule and Amil. Featured for the Rush Hour soundtrack.

"Bounce wit me, bounce me."

90skd | C-Bear & Jamal

Who cares if his two hits were basically the same song....Tone Loc was that dude.

New New | "Digital Girl," Jamie Foxx, video

Mr. Foxx cues Drake, Kanye, and The-Dream for his latest single's video. It's kinda boring until you get to the funky backing West's verse. Shout to RapRadar.

GNR | C'mon Son Ep. 2

This time on "C'mon Son" : Nas - Kelis = 55k; Bobby Brown can't pay attention yet alone child support; Bow Wow signs to YM; and, speaking of dogs, Vick got picked.

New New | "Teach Me How to Jerk," Audio Push

The jerkin movement has another supporter in the group duo, who'da thunk, Audio Push. Oktane and Price Tag's are the second BayArea crew two do the Reject in skinny jeans. I personally preferred the rough cut of their single to the mastered version; but, I do enjoy their video over the New Boyz. Let the battle between the two jerks begin. Real talk - I'm pysched dancing is back in rap videos - regardless of its relevancy. It's fun.

Audio Push - Teach Me How To Jerk

8709 Special | ABDC Week 2

Last night I found myself screaming through my Twitter as the judges thrice said goodbye to Artistry in Motion. Not only did they beast their performance "Diva," they had the best routine that night, only second to the triumphant Afroborike. I feel like this is a total cover-up, C-O-N-spiracy, to rid the show of real talent for flash, glitz, and something fresh (Vogue Evolution). Here are my reasonings:

• First of all, I was a little perturbed that it was a Beyonce episode so my disdain my stem from that bias. Don't get me wrong, Sasha Fierce is definitely the B to beat right now, BUT her videos have not had enough time to marinate as dance classics. Jackson was a 1st season choice because he's a legend; and Janet and Elliott were legit choices in season two because their videos have had time to become staples in pop culture. The only videos of Mrs. Carter's I'd list as dance classics would be "Crazy in Love" and the just-released-last-year "Single Ladies." There should be some year requirement for any artist video challenge. They could have at least had an Aaliyah dance challenge being that she had her own unique style and her videos are modern day classics prior to Beyonce's rise to solo stardom. From One in A Million to Are You That Somebody, the late Haughton would have been a better choice to tribute.
• Second, and closely related to the first point, is that Beyonce's music doesn't translate to hip-hop dance crews too well. You had those that worked: Artisty's "Diva" with the Bangladesh beat; Afroborike's "Beautiful Liar"; and, even Beat Ya Feet Kings' go-go got off to the Rich Harriosn "Crazy in Love." And then you had those that didn't; Massive Monkey's awkward "Work it Out"; We Are Heroes' too short and simple "Single Ladies"; Rhythm City's "Sweet Dreams"; and, Southern Movement's nice but odd "Jumpin, Jumpin'." I didn't see anyhting that wowed me until the sudden death portion of the show.
• Third, the show's pairing of the last two crews songs was ironic. They pitted two perfectly sewn routines against each other, giving Afroborike the better with the Latin-infused "Beautiful Liar" which calls for silky hips and salsa-dancing. The whole show is rigged.

I'll be sure to tune in next Sunday, but I won't do it happily at all.

Just another day...

Epic duet that is the epitome of hip-hop/R&B collaborations. I also enjoy the soul mix.

Video Games | DJ Hero | DJ Yoda Presents Gameplay Part I

XBox 360 | Playstation 3 | Nintendo Wii

I remained reluctant to become a groupie of the entire Rock Band/Guitar Hero movement. It just wasn't my thing, you feel me. But this right here...this ish right here negus, I can dig it. This could be a possible Christmas gift, the first toy I've gotten since the original Xbox.

'04 | Cause there's no better love

People tend to forget this classic R&B/Hip-Hop collabo, since it was only one of few singles from the Roc-a-fella duo, the Young Gunz. It's one of my favorite tracks.

REMIX | "Best I Ever Had," The Twins

Heard this @ Mixtape Maestro. Imagine is the Song of the Year had been produced by the likes of The Dream. Something you can rock too. Click above for link.

New New | "Wanna See Em Buss," Twista

We're worried about the terror threats from around the world, and brothers are wasting each other at funerals. In the name of what, a street? The revolution needs to be live immediately.
