On what seems to be the official video for his new single "Addiction," Ryan Leslie throws diversity out of the window by trading in a curvaceous bordiqua for the very slim Jaslene Gonzalez of America's Next Top Model fame. But the curvaceous hood chick definitely gets her revenge in the aesthetically pleasing video. But seriously, Toccarra or yet Buffy the Body wasn't available? In the video you'll also see a cameo from Swizz Beats. Watch the video here.

Q-Tip has finally released the official video for his official single "Gettin' Up." Now, this is what I call a simple, yet clever video. In the video, you'll see Tip go through more wardrobe changes than a GAP commercial. In fact, it could be a GAP commercial, and I mean this in the most respectful way. Q-Tip, you betta cash in. Watch the video below or here.

Ryan Leslie has finally released the video for “Addiction” featuring Cassie & Fabolous. The video is basically a black & white performance video. I must admit, I was expecting Part II to “Diamond Girl.” But instead, I got some models lip-syncing to the lyrics. How thoughtful? Although they’re beautiful, the models are not the most intriguing things in the video. Instead, the statement towards the end is. And I quote, “We encourage diversity in life, fashion, and art.” Oh, really? Well, where w

I’ve been gone for a minute. Now, I’m back with the jump off. And so is Brandy! I’ve expressed my indifference, but now “Right Here (Departed)” is somehow my anthem. Why such a change of heart? Well, the video. In the video Brandy plays an angelic comforter to those in emotional need. I know it sounds like a scene from the sequel to Waiting To Exhale, but its not. The video focuses only on two characters, one of them Corey Hardrict, husband of Tia Mowry (aka the Sprite guy). You can also see cameo

That's it! Where's David Ruffin?! Saadiq, if you want us to believe that you're from the 60's, you have to commit 100%. I hope the budget wasn't a concern. Even so, you could have went low-budget and retro like Snoop. I guess I was expecting something different. How selfish of me?!

After making it official, Q-Tip releases a video for his new single "Gettin' Up." If this is the official video, I must admit I'm little disappointed. Everyone knows Tip is more creative than this. This song immediately brings summery visuals to my mind, not some sort of live documentary. Anywhooo, the video is still very clever, and if you squint real hard you'll see Mos Def acting as Tip's hype man. Watch the video here and check out Tip's Vimeo account for more.

1-2-3 green light. John Legend has finally released a video for the song “Green Lights.” As I mentioned before, I absolutely love the song. Now, I absolutely love the video. The simple and intriguing video visually stimulates its viewers with its frantic dancing, beautiful girls, and of course Andre 3000 paying homage to the 40’s. Man, now that’s a party. Legend’s Evolver hits stores in October. In the meantime, you can watch the video here.

Here is the video for Big Boi’s “Something’s Gotta Give” featuring Mary J. You already know how I feel about the song, and you can say the same for the video. Loves it! The video is simple and focuses on the lyrics—-literally. Check out the cameos from Hill Harper, DJ Drama, and John Legend here (just in case the man takes it down). Big Boi’s Sir Luscious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty hits stores later on this year.

Fonzworth Bentley, Kanye West, Sa-Ra, and Andre 3 Stacks are Cool Outrageous Lovers of Uniquely Raw Styles; and yes, I’m tired from typing that long ass name. Fonzworth Bentley has finally released a video conveniently right before his show From G’s to Gent’s premieres. The name of the song is “Everybody,” and it’s heavy with the 1980’s, synthesizer-heavy, funk reminiscent of The Whispers. I wonder if they’re looking for another member. Watch the clip here.

After posting pictures from the video shoot, A. Keys has released the video for “Superwoman.” The video is…well…SUPER! I appreciate Alicia’s innovation and creativity. The video shows Alicia has she takes on the role of the many superwomen out in the world. From a single mother to Jada Pinkett Smith, this is exactly what I need—-a superwoman. Watch the clip here.
