Trey Songz's "I Invented Sex" Video

Oh, my, God. This man is going to make me go crazy. Now THAT is what I call a sexy ass video. Wooof! Lord have mercy. Take a look for yourself!

The video was directed by Yolande Geralds.

Jay-z's "Empire State of Mind" Video

Jay-z has a very impressive catalog of videos and this one isn't any different. The video, which was directed by Hype Williams, is great and brings me back to the classic Hip Hop videos of the 90's. The song is getting a bit played out for me but it's stellar nonetheless. I can't think of another rapper who's been out for as long as Jay-z and remained as consistent.

50 Cent's New "Baby By Me" Video Featuring Kelly Rowland

I really, really like this video! It's so simple and sexy. Kelly Rowland looks gorgeous and they both looked good together. As for the song itself, seems like 50 Cent has finally got himself another hit!

This is the album cover for Rihanna's upcoming album, Rated R. It's very Grace Jones, but I like it. The girl looks like she's going to take the good girl gone bad theme to the extreme with this next album. The first single, Russian Roulette, debuts at #100 this week on Billboard's Hot 100 Chart.



Shakira is looking gorgeous on the cover of the new issue of Rollingstone Magazine. She's currently filming the video for her new single Give It Up To Me which features Lil Wayne.



And for all my Beyonce fans, Sweet Dreams has officially hit top 10 (#10) on the Billboard Hot 100, making it her fourth top ten off of I Am... Sasha Fierce. To date, Beyonce has had 13 songs go top 10, not including the 10 she had with Destiny's Child.





Stay tuned for the new Video Phone remix video (directed by Hype Williams) which will feature Lady Gaga, as well as a new track Telephone which is rumored to be the second single off of Lady Gaga's re-release The Fame: Monster.

Rihanna's New Single "Russian Roulette"

The wait is indeed ova, but that is (apparently) not the name of her single. Russian Roulette, the first single off her upcoming album Rated R, was produced & penned by Ne-Yo (who's written some of her hit singles such as Take a Bow and Unfaithful).

The video, which was shot this past weekend, was directed by Anthony Mandler.

You can listen to the song [here].

I think her new look is hot (that single cover is to die for), the song is fresh & this new album is going to be insane! While the girl isn't exactly the best performer (that's an understatement), or the best singer or even a songwriter, she does know her limits and plays to her strengths really well. She knows what songs work for her, how important her image/fashion is and how hot her videos have to be in order for the public to pay attention to her. Most importantly, the girl is taking risks. This is the same girl who first popped into the scene with that little PG13ish dance hall song called Pon De Replay. Now the girl is releasing songs that are borderline bizarre and might even garner protests from suicide prevention groups. But it's all for the better, the girl is slowly proving that while she might not have the talent of her contemporaries, she doesn't necessarily need it.

Alicia Keys "Doesn't Mean Anything" Video

For one, she looks gorgeous. Simply stunning. And the song, I love it. As for the video... meh, it's cool I guess, I kept expecting a plot of some sort which never came. Hopefully the song is a big hit for her. The video was directed by P.R. Brown. Her upcoming album, The Element of Freedom, will be in stores December 1st.

Preview of Rihanna Shooting Video for New Single "The Wait is Ova"

Rihanna didn't disappoint with her last album, Good Girl Gone Bad. With the exception of Shut Up & Drive (my least favorite song and single on the album), she really delivered quality singles and videos. She has a lot to live up to with this new album and I really hope she can do it. As for the new single, The Wait is Ova, it sounds rather Urban-ish and dark, and I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad one. Still, the video looks like it's going to be KILLER!
