New music videos (Beyonce, Drake)

Artist: Beyonce
Song: “Sweet Dreams”
Album: “I Am… Sasha Fierce”

Beyonce is back with ANOTHER music video. She doesn’t ever stop. This is one of my favorite tracks off the album, although I first heard the song nearly a year before the album came out when the track was titled “Beautiful Nightmare”on Concreteloop. The video is definitely… different. Not in a bad way though.

Song: “Best I Ever Had”
Artist: Drake
from “So Far Gone” mixtape

If you haven’t seen Drake’s latest video by now, you are late ass hell. But that’s fine. So, many people DESPISED the video and called it this and that and whatnot. First of all, Kanye West directed it, so if you feel that strongly send your hate mail via his blog. Some are saying that Kanye intentionally made the video that way it is to “sabotoge” Drake’s carreer and I can’t say I agree with that but it did pass my mind that this was a HUGE track provided with a very lackluster video. Although the video isn’t romantic or cute and sweet, it’s not THAT terrible. It was pretty funny during the dialouge scenes. As for exploitation of women, almost EVERY fuckin rap AND R&B video out now have half dressed women grinding. Why not playing basketball–then losing? HAHA!

Trey Songz performed his latest single “I Need A Girl” on 106 and Park yesterday. This is definitely a difficult song to sing, especially live and Trey still killed it. I love to see artists perform with a live band. It makes the music feel more organic and brings the song to life. Catch the interview below. If y’all are ‘Ready‘ for new music be sure to pick up Trey’s album August 4th. For real, some of us fans and bloggers should get paid for how much we promote our favorite aritsts haha! Be sure to hit Trey up at Twitter as well.



She worth the trouble y’all
