So Kid Cudi finally got a video for Lady Gaga's Poker Face sampled joint... Poke Her Face. But now it's called Make Her Say... Easier to mass market that sort of name. And this should do well to keep the Cudi hype up leading into the release of his album Man on the Moon: The End of Day. Especially when you have heavyweights like Kanye and Common on the track.
The video is nothing outstanding... But being so clean, you're able to focus on the MC's a lot more. Which is perfect marketing for someone like Kid Cudi who is still needing some more air play to become a household name. Mainstream exposure is something that Kid Cudi deserves. Check the video... You'll still find your head bobbing to this infectious song.

Jackpot...
Maino's song Million Bucks featuring Swizz Beats has now got a video for it. I've been banging this song since I first heard the album If Tomorrow Comes... I have a soft spot for Swizzy's production. I dig the way that he uses that big band feel. And it goes well with the ethos of the song. It's such a feel good song that when you hear it you can't help but smile. The video is kinda dope too... Its all about hustle hard and party harder. Bit of an epic feel to the video when you watch the introduction. The cinematography is really good in it too. But still has all the elements of a hip hop video... Fancy cars, hot girls, excessive use of money and alcohol (and of course these days you gotta have those pink Nuvo bottles). The song is a banger... But thats something you start to expect of Swizzy. Keep it on your iTunes for when you're feeling down... It'll pick you up and force you to smile.
Why Would You...
Mario (who is looking grown man these days) dropped his video for the song Break Up featuring Gucci Mane and Sean Garrett. Now he's lucky that he put these two on the track. The track feels like he's trying to pick up the market that Omarion and Bow Wow cater for. I'm not really feeling it... But I that it'll get mad airplay and probably do really well. It's good marketing to get these three on this sort of track cause I don't think that it could've been justified by using just a singer on it. Its pop but hip hop, so good to hear Gucci Mane on it. He's doing his thing right now. Anyways... Take a look, have a listen and make up your own mind. Ladies should love it. Might grow on you after a few plays...
Feels Like Magic...
Joe has always been a favourite of mine. I like how smooth his voice is without over singing on a track. Never tries to change the game but is always on point. His new video for Magic is classic RnB: Singer wearing sunglasses singing and acting his heart out, girls on display (the cover up of a photo shoot makes it less lewd), a few crowd shots here and there, nice car, but most importantly... The girls all fall for the singer.
The song itself is a really nice track. Smooth as what we expect from Joe. But the lyrics are the aspect that I enjoy the most... They whet my carnal appetite. Another reason to check out Joe's new album Signature... Apparently dropping next week. Although who trusts release dates these days?

The Bestest...
Drake has finally put a video out for Best I Ever Had... This track has needed a video for so long. And I thought that he would put out something of substance for it. Especially as it was directed by Kanye. I was wrong. It's just a video showcasing the female form. Of which I am a loyal fan. The acting is a little off to say the least. But at least the video portrays the nature of the lyrics... It's all about exploiting women. But it does make me think about the best I've ever had... Shout out to you girl...
Mrs. International Video...
Finally I have the video for Mrs. International. It's been a long time coming, and I'm sorry that I've been a bit slow on this one. But here it is.
As expected... The video is hilarious. Eric Sermon making his appearance in the 'not so' Temptations. Red getting his Rick James on. Meth looking like an 90's R&B singer with his waistcoat over a t shirt. This video is looks like Red and Meth are ready to make another How High movie. Humour is everything you expect from them... And you won't be disappointed.
