Rihanna is officially the busiest woman in the game right now. On top of getting the December cover of GQ, modeling with Kate Moss and performing at the Victoria's Secret Runway Show (premiering December 4th), she's getting ready to release her 7th album, Unapologetic, on Monday (November 19th). Take a look below to catch her tracklist, snippets of every song, and her new video for her single "Diamonds," as well as the remix with Flo Rida. Also note that Rih Rih has a SUPER DELUXE EDITION of the album which features so much that it is valued at $250. YIKES!
Now I've watched this video several times and all I notice throughout is a party full of scantily clad women- which for most of you, is just fine. Check out Wiz Khalifa's trippy new video "Remember You," featuring The Weeknd, below. The album O.N.I.F.C., will finally be released on December 4th.
A cut of their "The OF Tape, Vol. 2," performed by Tyler, the Creator and Domo Genesis. It seems like almost everyone was in the video/short film though. A little creepy, slightly funny, definitely an OF video.
It looks like Yeezy took a few notes from the Middle East when it came to the direction and style of this video. With multiple Kanyes, Big Seans, Pusha Ts and 2 Chainzs, this video was live. Looks like they had fun. Check it out below:
You may not know exactly who Hit-Boy is, but you're definitely about to get to know dude. You may have heard of the little song he produced entitled "Niggas In Paris." Yeah, that one. Now showing off his rapping skills, he makes his debut with "Jay-Z Interview." Must be nice hanging with these two. Check out the song and video below:
After seeing the video for "Runaway," I knew I could trust Kanye's vision for making videos, knowing he could make me feel as if it were a movie. Dude did it again with "No Church in the Wild," his hit with Jay-Z from "Watch the Throne" featuring R&B crooner Frank Ocean. None of the artists on the song appear in the video (as far as I could tell) and it shows a world of chaos, free men vs. the boys in blue, showing that there really is no peace in a world full of havoc.
See for yourself below, it goes hard.

Now I know I am HELLA late but I had to take the time to talk about this video anyway.
Back on April 30th Rihanna released the long awaited "Where Have You Been"' video. It's a great love-pop-dance track that I'm sure is hot in all the clubs right now- it is the one and only Rih Rih after all <3
What I was excited for most was the fact that we finally got the chance to see her dance in the video- and Miss Fenty was gettin' it! The tribal-glam themed video featured the gorgeous lady and her slew of dancers and it was just...
You get the idea. Watch and comment below. #RihannaNavy
Now for the lovers of Southern club music, Travis Porter released yet another music video for one of the hottest songs on their "Differenter 3" mixtape, which came out a minute ago (some time late last year). Now having gone to college in Georgia, "My Team Winning'" was the business when it first came out, I know I was jiggin' and reciting all the words every time it played. The lyrics, true to Travis Porter form, are provocative, and is perfect for the young people who like to have a good time with the team. Wale went it, which of course would be unheard of if he didn't.
Before I pressed play I knew it would only be right if they made this video in the club with a bunch of girls from the A and dudes just being dudes. Bottles, blunts, people stuntin' and the like.
Was I wrong? Of course not. Peep the vid below:
Travis Porter ft. Wale - My Team Winnin'
Look out for these dudes as they finally release their debut album, "From Day 1" May 29th.
So today Mr. F-A-B-O-L-O-U-S released a video from his fairly old jawn "There Is No Competition (Death Comes In 3's." Most of his fans have been bumpin' this since Christmas- I know I have. The video-simple, however the song is hot (just like the rapper performing it) so it gets a pass. Shoutout to Aristotle for directing it.
If you haven't already make sure you download that mixtape, which can be found right here. Check out the vid for "Got That Work" below:
A few days ago Drake dropped two new celebrity filled video's from songs off his "Take Care" album. That album is fire, it's only right dude makes plenty of videos for it. The video for "Take Care" featuring Rihanna was alright. Of course there wasn't too much action in the video for the R&B cut, but still a nice visual when listening to the song. A complete 180 for "HYFR," however. We get to see little Aubrey in the first few seconds as we party with him for the rest of the video as he gets re-bar mitzvah'd. With appearances from Trey Songz and the usual YMCMB clan, it was nice to see homie show us his religion, since we don't get that a lot with rappers these days.
Check out both videos below, and if you haven't already listened to "Take Care," where the hell have you been?
Okay, if you read this blog you know I'm not the biggest Barbie fan, but when I saw she had a video out with 2 Chainz I had to give it a look. It's the typical new-Nicki rapping, hot beat track one would expect. 2 Chainz didn't do much for the track except give it an excuse to be on the radio and in the club. The hook will be repeated by the Barbie army everywhere. Probably won't see this one on TV folks, as it includes scantily clad strippers doing what they do best (BET Uncut, where did you go?)
All in all, it's not horrible-the beat is infectious and Nicki is always nice to look at. What do you guys think?
Monday ya boy K.R.I.T. came out with his long-awaited mixtape, "4Eva N A Day." I think we all knew to expect nothing but the best from this guy- and after listening to his mixtape for a few days I can say that we all thought right. I saw him in concert last August and it was live- definitely a cool, chill dude. His chill flow is all over this mixtape (with the perfect beats), perfect for those days when you're just kicking back or cruisin'. I can honestly there's not one song on here I would skip. Props to Big K.R.I.T., he did his thing once again.
Not much to say this time around, the songs speak for themselves.
Couldn't come up with a catchy title this time around, but no need. The song in itself does it for me.
One of my favorite tracks from Wale's "Ambition" album featuring Detroit's own Big Sean finally has a hot new video to go with it. It was cool to see that Chris Breezy got in the director's seat this time around to bring us a video that's visually stimulating enough to go perfectly with the siren-infused beat. Reminds me of home...
26 is back with a brand new video "Made Love Lately." Glad to see them back on the scene...
...Que where you at?
Lord knows I loved their debut album, even their follow-up. Definitely had those cds blasting in my house. Their show was apart of my tv addiction for some time.
Look out for their new album, "A New Day" on Atlantic Records some time this year.
Peep the new video for 2 Chainz single "Got One." You can hear it on his mixtape T.R.U. REALigion released late last year. Check him out on tour right now too. Big ups to Atlanta, this for yall. Video after the jump.
M.I.A.'s new video for her song "Bad Girls" is crack. Everything about this video is bad ass. I love that its so different from all the other music out there- but if you already listen to M.I.A. then you already know how she get down. 36 and still doin the damn thing- respect.
Based music has become a huge trend ever since Lil B the Based God came out with his based mixtapes. Now Soulja Boy has hopped on it. Here's him and Riff Raff, who was signed to SODMG, with their song "Versace Bentley." You may remember Riff Raff from MTV's "G's to Gents." Quite the colorful character.
Shoutout to the Tyler, the Creator cameo.
*WARNING, IF YOU ARE A TRUE HIP HOP HEAD, DO NOT CLICK THE LINK BELOW. STRICTLY FOR THE BASED.*

Editor's Note: Yes I cook and like based music, but I do not feel this is hip hop. It's just fun music not to be taken seriously ;)
From time to time I'm gonna blog people who may not be famous- YET- but def need to be, and this guy Phresh Ali is one them. Heard about him from my homeboy DJ Tune in Atlanta. His flow is stupid! Currently signed to STARkast, dude is making big moves.
Syd tha Kid and Matt Martians, two producers of Odd Future have come together to form The Internet.
And I loveeeeeeeee them.
My interest in Syd came about when I heard Flashlight. Seriously, THE MOST PLAYED SONG ON MY ITUNES. Who thought behind her boyish features there was such an angelic voice?
Not I. But I'm sure as hell happy there was.
Flashlight - Syd tha Kid
Their video concepts are dope, though if you are already a fan of OFWGKTA you know that all of their videos are pretty creative (thinking about She x Tyler, the Creator & Frank Ocean as I type this). The two I've seen so far involve Syd and her girlfriend, and after watching them I see how "Cocaine" (though released first) follows the story for their new video "Fastlane."
Fastlane - The Internet
Cocaine - The Internet
And now they have an album entitled Purple Naked Ladies, which- if I do say so myself (from what I've heard)- is pretty cool. Gotta give it a few more listens, but so far so good. The digital version became available Dec. 20th, with the physical deluxe album coming out on the 31st of this month. Give it a listen. Though I don't rep Odd Future, I can't deny the talented people in their group, especially The Internet.
So who has two thumbs and gives them up to The Internet?
Here's the brand new video for Harlem rapper A$AP Rocky. He'll be holdin' it down on Drake's "Club Paradise" Tour, starting Valentine's Day. I love how he wakes up at the end of th vid. Fame doesn't come THAT fast. In due time, Rocky.
