Video: Rihanna ft. Kanye West & Paul McCartney -- "FourFiveSeconds"

This track's been on everyone's lips since it was released a week or so ago. Ri might be the only woman who could ever make me call her "bae".

Video: Dee-1 -- "Jay, 50, and Weezy"

This shit is too real. This brother got a strong mind to go with the strong flow and strong lyrics.

Video: The Agenda -- "So Official"

Here's a cool new track and video from Chitown emcees The Agenda. I've got to give them a lot of credit for a creative (and relatively inexpensive) video concept.

Monday Kickstart: Feel the Heat

No words. None. It's too sexy in here for words, anyways.

Meet Taher Shah. Now try not to make out with your screen. I dare you.



I may be late getting this week kickstarted, but that has to make up for it X 1,000,000.

And now Helen Flanagan:


Let's go.

Video: Garfunkel and Oates -- "The Loophole"

This. Kills. All the way down to the very last line. The lyricism that was put into this song would make even Black Thought's head spin.

I want to marry Garfunkel and Oates. Like, both of them. At the same time. Is that weird? It's certainly not weirder than living your life in accordance with the writings of someone who lived 2,000 years ago.

Video: Xzibit -- "Napalm"

New fire (no pun intended) from the X-to-the-Z. If you haven't already heard this track: Trust me, it's like no other Xzibit song before it.

Video: Childish Gambino -- "Fire Fly"

The latest release from Gambino's Camp. I've never been a fan of videos diverging from the songs they're featuring, but at least he's always cinematic with his.

Video: Slaughterhouse ft. Cee Lo Green -- "My Life"

The intro skit with Eminem is a little long and corny; but on the whole this is a pretty slick video to match the always-slick lyrics of Budden, Crooked, Joell, and Royce.

Video: Kanye West ft. Big Sean, Pusha T, & 2 Chainz -- "Mercy"

I still don't get naming a song after a Murcielago. 'Ye likes to talk about being "so ahead", but Lamborghini stopped producing Murcielagos in 2010. I guess he had a hard time rhyming "Aventador".

Video: J. Cole -- "Sideline Story"


From Life + Times:
“A fitting punctuation to his gold debut album, J. Cole delivers the video for “Sideline Story” the latest visual from his critically-acclaimed album, Cole World: The Sideline Story, which spawned the platinum hit “Workout.” Directed by Axel Laramee and Adam Roy, the clip documents Cole’s international 2011 tour, capturing the song’s straightforward production and lyrics, representing the journey Cole has taken with the release of his first album and setting the stage for his follow up. As his newest single, “Nobody’s Perfect,” featuring Missy Elliott, currently climbs the charts, Cole is touring the US and continuing to record and document his story.”
I'm loving this clip. The best video is a relatively simple and real one, and that's exactly what Laramee and Roy have captured.

Video: Childish Gambino -- "Heartbeat"

Here's something to power you through the start to your workweek: The latest single from Gambino's Camp. Once again, Donald Glover's artistic mind draws out a more abstract, cinematic view of the theme behind the song, and not so much on the song itself.

As for the song, though, I can say this: When I first heard it, it didn't really win me over. It seemed like just a cool little track about a girl, nothing that I would've put in the top half when ranking the tracks on Camp. But one night, on about the 10th or 11th rotation of the CD over my car's stereo, I suddenly caught on to the composition of the beat, and the complexity he achieved by weaving it in so tightly with both the momentum of his flow and the context of his lyrics in each verse. Now I think it may be his most polished track on the album.

Video: Jay-Z & Kanye West -- "Ni**as in Paris"

(Am I the only one who thought this was the follow-up to "1 Night in Paris" when he first heard about it? No? ...*cough* Uhh...)

Be prepared, this might short-circuit your brain.

Video: "Cocky & Arrogant" -- Off Rip ft. Joe Budden, Royce Da 5'9", and FranChize

This track is a couple of years old, but I still love it. And this is the first I've seen the video (I don't get out much). So fuck it, I'm putting it up.
