Now here’s another track from the forthcoming album featuring Jay-Z and Ester Dean called “Hot Toddy”. It was first believed that Ciara would be on this track but it looks like Cici wont get to shine on this new track. Take a listen…

A Musical 3som that is! It’s been a steady week for video releases from the top 3 male R&B/Pop stars : Usher’s “There Goes My Baby”, Ne-Yo’s “Beautiful Monster” “Champagne”, and Chris Brown’s “12 Strands (Matrix)” (Preview). Check out the videos below.
Usher “There Goes My Baby”
This single has been out for quite sometime. Not sure what took so long for the video to come out. And while Usher’s album is doing very well on the charts and sells, it still seems that usher is missing that sparkle he had years ago.
Ne-Yo “Beautiful Monster”, “Champagne Life”
I am a huge Ne-Yo fan; however this single has been very unimpressive and now that Ne-Yo has added this long drawn out “acting” skit to the video for “Beautiful Monster”….BLAH! Thank God for his JUST IN CASE MONSTER FLOPS I’M COVERED single “Champagne Life” (I love this track)!
“Champagne Life”
Chris Brown “Matrix”
Last but never least, the once underdog of the three, Chris Brown, is getting ready to release a special video for his fans for the track “12 Strands (Matrix)” which did not make the final cut of his last album Graffitti. From the preview below, I am intrigued and can’t wait to see the full video! Chris Brown is about to TAKE OVER AND SAVE the male R&B/Pop industry! The preview makes me want to go somewhere and try some MATRIX type ISH!
If you can’t get enough of Usher’s new album Raymond V. Raymond which was released March 30 of this year, then boy does Usher have a special treat for you! Versus, the final chapter to Raymond V. Raymond will be released on Tuesday, August 24th. Yesterday, it was announced that Versus includes 8 brand new tracks including the lead single “DJ Got Us Fallin’ In Love” featuring Pitbull! Also dropping on August 24th is Raymond V. Raymond (The Deluxe Edition) which will combine all 22 songs from Raymond V. Raymond and Versus.
You can’t knock the hustle, the new marketing strategy now from record labels seem to be repackaging and adding more songs for a re-release to gain more sales!
Check out the new single from Versus, “DJ Got Us Fallin’ In Love”. Its definitely a Top 40 radio hit!

Yesterday, Usher was a suprise guest on The Oprah Show for her “Star Studded Harpo Hookups” episode. At the finale of the show, Usher performed his #1 single “OMG” with Will I Am who also produced the track. This was one of Usher’s best performances on TV I’ve seen in a minute and the song is sooooo contagious! It even had Oprah doing her 1-2 step!
I can see everyone on the rooftop of Space in Miami during Sizzle with their shirts off getting their life! Get into Usher’s performance below! Did he nail it?
So a few weeks ago, we were sent a video of a dance choreographer group who had allegedly sent in a choreography video to Usher’s camp back in February for Usher’s “Lil Freak” to be considered for the video. According to the source close to the matter, Usher’s camp never got back in contact with the choreographer but a month later the official “Lil Freak” video came out and low and behold the choreography was pretty much to the T of that of what was submitted. In addition to that, the source stated that not only did they use the choreographer but also replaced the same type dancers based on the video that was sent in (i.e. the white girl in the video) as well as used the same light effects that the choreographer had a special video producer record for their video submission.
While we can’t deny nor confirm when and if this video was submitted, we can say things do “just happen” in the entertainment industry all the time so we will let you be the judge. Take a look at the two videos. Did someone get swagger-jacked?
Thanks to the people at MrWorldPremiere.com we have the full HQ version of Usher’s video to “Lil Freak” featuring Nicki Minaj. The video is nice, but get into Miss Minaj’s hair?!

Here’s a preview of Usher’s upcoming video for “Lil’ Freak” featuring Nicki Minaj. The song is the latest single off his upcoming ‘Raymond vs. Raymond‘ album due out March 30th, 2010!! Check out the video below!

Usher feat. Nicki Minaj | “Little Freak”
R&B singer, Usher, enlists the help of Young Money princess, Nicki Minaj, for his new song “Little Freak”. I’m not sure what he was trying to accomplish with this song. The production is a tad all over the place, which is surprisingm but not really. Polow Da Don is known for unusual beats and that’s why he’s great! However, I think this one sounds a bit unfinished or maybe Usher and Miss Nicki “Stick Shift the Ding-A-Ling”Minaj herself can’t deliver as one would think!
The lyrics are typical of what the song title suggests, “I’m ’bout to have a ménage à with his lady and some freaks at the bar, who like fucking with a star, I told her… Be my little freak, let her put ya hands in ya pants, be my little freak!” Blah, it’s a club banger for sure but what else can it do? I HAVE NO DAMN CLUE! Tell me your thoughts.
