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.

LOL | "Skank Robbers"

The funniest moment of the BET Awards. Shout to my blog brother Julianno @ J 24/7.

411 | BET Awards Eve

|
Tomorrow the black MTV will broadcast its annual Awards show, honoring those in music, film, sports, and culture. Jamie Foxx is set to host. With recent events details have spread of a definite Jackson tribute as the show will be dedicated to his memory. Performers include Beyonce, Jay-Z, Monica & Keyshia Cole, Fabolous, Ne-Yo, Soulja Boy, Maxwell, and Mary Mary. We will see how they play out; last year's was exciting with the revival of Maxwell and the Alica Keys performance, but other than that, its the same ol' artists.
The best had to be Monique's first run, with her classic opening set.
Immediately following the show, BET will premiere the video for Jay-Z's "D.O.A. (Death of Autotune)" from one of the most highly-anticipated albums of the year, The Blueprint 3.

? | Has Jamie Foxx peaked?!?!? Pt. 2

I figured I'd track any appearances/news on Mr. Foxx until his official BET gig. Here he is on O'Brien last night with *surprise, surprise* Drake on the remix verse. Wasn't too impressed with the performance. Especially the line about your tail in this kitchen? You tell me. Shout to Nah Right.

Before everyone gets on their soapboxes, let me say I think Foxx is one of the best; not necessarily a 'king' yet, but a definite heir to the comedy throne. But in late it seems he's fallen off - and hard. Ever since he coveted the gold Trophy, it seems everything else only seems to merely glitter.
  • The Soloist was suppose to be another Oscar worthy performance, but it ran so low under the radar, after being pushed back from its initial release date, people forgot about it.
  • He flubbed with his comments on America's country princess Miley Cyrus, and like a man apologized, but clearly has yet to rebound.
  • And despite the success of "Blame It," which garnered an even bigger hit if you ask me, Intuition has come and gone just like Unpredictable.
Is it the rumored Oscar curse that seems to plague Black actors (i.e. Cuba, Terrence, Halle) or is it more than that. Hopefully Foxx can reclaim his funny man status with the ...ahem...BET Awards he will be hosting on the 28th. (Which haven't been really hot since Monique's first time and the Smiths, but that's a different post all together.)
