Video Premiere: Snoop Dogg 'Wet'


Here is the new video for Snoop Dogg's song "Wet." This song appears on Snoop's upcoming album Doggumentary Music.

The video that is blue lit shows women in...well, wet situations. With a pool and shower scene, plus what seems like an orgy-like setting, this video might just get banned.

I actually liked Snoop's track "Sensual Seduction" where he uses my arch-enemy, auto tune, but this song doesn't really compare. But because Snoop is so smooth, there is some potential of this song growing on me.

Video Premiere: Marsha Ambrosius 'Far Away'


Here is the new video from Marsha Ambrosius (previously the other half of R&B/Hip-Hop duo Floetry) for her song "Far Away."

Marsha uses the video for "Far Away" to pay homage to the LGBT community by raising awareness concerning the bullying members of the community experience because of their alternative lifestyles. It's a beautiful song and conscious video.

According to Marsha's wiki, her album Late Nights & Early Mornings is slated for release February 22, 2011.

Video Premiere: Miguel 'Sure Thing'


Here is the new video from Miguel for his song "Sure Thing." This single appears on his album All I Want Is You in stores now.

The video is very funkadelic and low key for the theatrical Hype Williams who reportedly directed the video.

"Sure Thing" is unique which is why I like it even though I believe it doesn't best Miguel's last hit All I Want Is You. Good nonetheless.

Video Premiere: Fabolous 'You Be Killin' Em'


Here is the new music video from Fabolous for his song "You Be Killin Em."

Ryan Leslie, who produced the album, makes a cameo as well as model Amber Rose.

The beat on this song is insane, I love Ryan Leslie's ear for sound! As for the video, interesting.

Video Premiere: Michael Jackson (Feat. Akon) 'Hold My Hand'


Here is the new video for Michael Jackson's single "Hold My Hand" that features Akon. This stands as MJ's first posthumous music video.

The video is pretty simple and the message is a familiar one that many fans have known Michael to display. There are moving montages of Michael hitting his signature stances and dance moves as well as photos that captured the late legend.

I like the song and think the video is a good fit for the message the track delivers.

Video Premiere: Bruno Mars 'Grenade'


Here is the new video from Bruno Mars for his song "Grenade." This single appears on his debut album Doo-Wops & Hooligans in stores now.

"Grenade" is the ultimate love/hate song. I love Mars' writing style, he's obviously a beast with a pen. The video is a great compliment to the lyrics that speaks of undying love that isn't reciprocated. Genius.

Video Premiere: Rihanna (feat. Drake) 'What's My Name'


Here is the new video from Rihanna for her song "What's My Name" that features Drake. This single is slated to appear on her forthcoming album Loud, due in stores November 16.

Drake and Rihanna play house in the video which takes place in New York with the final scene showing the Barbadian beauty in a forest jamming out with a band.

Doesn't Drake look thrilled to play Rihanna's beau even if it is just for one video shoot? If it's any consolation, they would make a cute couple.

Video Premiere: Jazmine Sullivan '10 Seconds'


Here is the video for Jazmine Sullivan's second single "10 Seconds." This single is slated to appear on her forthcoming album Love Me Back due in stores November 30.

The video is done in black and white and shows Jazmine's unfaithful love interest strapped to a bomb.

Busted car windows, strapping on bombs... I would hate to be the one to get on Jasmine's bad side. In my eyes, Ms. Sullivan can do no wrong when it comes to music.

In related news, Jazmine will receive the Rising Star Award at Billboard's 2010 Women in Music ceremony on December 2.

Video Premiere: Keyshia Cole (Feat. Nicki Minaj) 'I Ain't Thru'


Give KC her "elbow room" because she's back! Here is the new video from Keyshia Cole for her song "I Ain't Thru" featuring Nicki Minaj. This single is scheduled to appear on her self-titled album Keyshia due in stores December 2010.

The song is fun enough for a club atmosphere and for a few spins on the Pod. Plus it looks like Keyshia and Nicki vibed well in the video which made for an interesting watch.

Video Premiere: Keri Hilson 'Pretty Girl Rock'


Here is the new video from Keri Hilson for her song "Pretty Girl Rock." This single is slated to appear on her upcoming album No Boys Allowed.

The creative video sees Keri paying homage to women of color in entertainment. Everyone from my idol Josephine Baker and Diana Ross to Janet Jackson and TLC get a little respect in the video, all portrayed by Keri.

I'm not so crazy about the song but I do think it's cute. Still waiting to be blown away by Keri, I thought her first album was a great effort.

MC Hammer Was Serious About His Jay-Z Diss (Video)


Here is a new video from MC Hammer for his song "Better Run Run!"

This stands as an answer to Jay-Z's verse in the Kanye West joint single "So Appalled" where Jay-Z makes mention to Hammer's financial woes.

First let me say that I respect Hammer (who is now going by King Hammer) for all that he's done for rap and entertainment as a whole. He was the first rapper to go diamond and that without a doubt opened the door for other artists including Jay-Z to cement themselves in a genre that was once considered a fad.

With that said, I have to admit that this video was disturbing. Besides the fact that it is catering to all the devil worshipping talk that has been running rampant in Hip Hop, it just was weird.

We'll see how this pans out but from where I'm sitting it seems Jay won again and Hammer was better off just ignoring Jay's verse.

Video Premiere: Nicki Minaj (feat. Will.I.Am) 'Check It Out'


Here is the new video from Nicki Minaj for her song "Check It Out" featuring Will.I.Am.

The video is different and futuristic. The colors and visual effects adds to the colorful production. This will go over well with the Pop crowd although some people might question its place in Hip Hop.

Really who knows anymore. At this point Hip Hop is like a scattered deck of cards so call it whatever you like...

Kanye West premiered his full-length mini film "Runaway" last night to an eager viewing audience looking to be pulled into his world.

And boy were we...

Video Premiere: Willow Smith 'Whip My Hair'


Here is the new video from Willow Smith for her song "Whip My Hair."

The video is cute and age appropriate which will go over well with people who have claimed that she sounds too grown on the track...whatever that means.

Hopefully, no one will suffer neck sprains from hair whippings.

How can you not love this girl?

SideBar: Random, I know...but Willow has great teeth...

Video Premiere: Ciara 'Gimme Dat'


Here is the new video from Ciara for her song "Gimme Dat" set to appear on her upcoming album Basic Instinct.

Simply put, the video is hot! A lot of dancing and special effects that isn't flashy in the least bit, gives way to an intense video.

The final scene where she multiplies herself is my favorite.

Her "FLY" belt on the other hand reminded me of Sesame Street for some odd reason...

Video Premiere: Ciara 'Speechless'


Here is the new video for Ciara's "Speechless" off of her album Basic Instinct due in stores November 2.

I keep forgetting that Ciara has an album coming out. Why? Well, because she hardly promotes the damn thing! But it is always good to see something coming out of the project.

The video for "Speechless" is all Ciara so if you love looking at her you won't be disappointed.

The song is appealing and I can see it racking up radio plays as the powerful beat carries the song.

Video Premiere: Nelly 'Just A Dream'


Here is the new video from Nelly for his song "Just A Dream" off of his album Nelly 5.0 scheduled for release later this year.

The video is set in black and white and shows a very somber Nelly walking on the beach and later falling to the bottom of an ocean. We are getting a very introspective Nelly who is clearly looking to continue to tap into the Pop market with the sing-songy lyrics and guitar led tracks.

I'm not crazy about the song but the video is cool.

Is this what we can expect from Nelly 5.0?

Video Premiere: Keri Hilson 'Breaking Point'



Here is the new video from Keri Hilson for her song "Breaking Point." This song is scheduled to appear on her upcoming album No Boys Allowed.

The video definitley adds more appeal to the song. You can never go wrong catering to the female demographic because we are always in search of songs that can describe how we feel simply by pressing play.

"Breaking Point" is slowly growing on me although I feel Keri could have done better, she's proven that.

Hopefully the single starts creeping up the charts with the release of this video. If not, another single with more umph wouldn't hurt.

Video Premiere: Faith Evans 'Gone Already'


Here is a new video from Faith Evans for her song "Gone Already" off of her album Something About Faith due in stores October 5.

The video is simple which is great because the song illustrates the scenario well. Great to see Faith back!

Video Premiere: Kelly Rowland 'Forever And A Day'

Here is the new video from Kelly Rowland for her song "Forever and a Day" off of her upcoming album.

Kelly has found her pocket and it is obviously in the UK! She sounds great, looks great and the video is visual eye candy. I'm excited for this new album....

On the charts...
