Erykah Badu and her sister, ‘Nayrok’ nude with The Flaming Lips (video)

Erykah Badu and her sister, ‘Nayrok’ nude with The Flaming Lips (video)

Yes it is true. Remember when Badu walked through the Dallas, TX streets butt naked for her ‘Window Seat‘ video? Well she’s back with round 2 of the ‘birthday suit show down’. But this time, it’s her sister, Nayrok Badu bearing it all in their newly ‘The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face’ video. The song itself is a remake of a 1957 folk song written by British political singer/songwriter Ewan MacColl for Peggy Seeger, who was later to become his wife. It’s remake is from the April 2012 of the Oklahoma psychedelic alternative rock band ‘The Flaming Lips’ Record Store Day collaborative double vinyl called ‘The Flaming Lips and Heady Fwends’, and features Erykah Badu on the vocals, while the video, which also features Erykah and her sister Nayrok Badu. Combining both nudity and art, the Badu sister appear tastefully naked in the video. Yet have any of you seen the movie, ‘Think Like a Man’? Welll, try thinking like a man right now. LOL!

The Flaming Lips and Heady Fwends also features collaborations with Bon Iver, Coldplay, My Morning Jacket, Ke$ha and more. A great album indeed.

Jennifer Lopez (Feat. Pitbull) – Dance Again

Do we look at J. Lo’s music videos because she can sing? No. We look at her for the same reason we look at Janet Jackson. Because they’re both SEXY and can dance their butts off. This has got to be one of the most sexiest yet classiest videos that has been out in a while. Naw let me not say that because my girlfriend Shakira would be upset with me. What could be said is that J. Lo is pushing her own umbrella or perhaps letting these young girls know how to don’t stop get it get it. Notice the song’s title is ‘Dance Again’. Maybe there’s a hidden message there, as Goodie M.O.B. once declared, ‘people don’t dance no moe.’

Check out J. Lo’s new video for her ‘Dance Again’ single, ft. Pitbull.


My Hips Don’t Lie Singer signs with Roc Nation

As Wyclef say, “Shakira, Shakira”. And I’m saying it now. Y’all didn’t know that she’s my “secret” baby mama. Just kidding, but I do have a huge crush on her for many reasons inclusive to her rockin body. But anyway…..

It’s been reported that the Latina pop singer has signed to Roc Nation (Jay Z) management team. Da*n Jay, you got all the hunnies man; Beyonce (wifey), Rihanna, Melanie Fiona and now reportedly SHAKIRA.

The superstar Colombian singer has signed to Jay-Z’s Roc Nation for management, XXLMag.com has learned. The news definitely marks a coup for Roc Nation.

A Man’s Glory: Shakira

Yo fellowssssssss!!!! This one is for us man. This one is for us man. There is a way to look at a woman in an admirable way other than playboy.

The first feature is known other that Latin pop sensation, Shakira, Shakira! My gosh, for all you brothers that claim you want date outside of your race. I’m sure if this hottie crossed your path, you’ll be meowing at her. As she says, ‘her hips don’t lie.’


Madonna and Nicki Minaj to share the Super Bowl Halftime Stage with each other

To be quite honest, since the late great King of Pop Michael Jackson rocked the halftime show at Super Bowl XXVII (1993), there has yet to be any other Super Bowl halftime performance that great or have come even close. There has been some good ones and with Madonna rocking the crowd at this years Super Bowl XLVII, the expectations are high. Though she’s the queen, the diva has a lot to prove. And with Nicki Minaj joining her for the 12 minute halftime performance, it gots to be right.

“Super Bowl rehearsals w/the Queen ;) —-> RT @HumbleNika: @NICKIMINAJ what does your agenda contain today Nic? :) ,” she tweeted January 27th. (Nicki Minaj’s Twitter)

Though Madonna in a recent interview has claimed that there will be no wardrobe malfunction (sans Janet Jackson at XXXVIII), expect for it to be one HOT halftime performance. Whether it will be good or mediocre (which is bad for someone like Madonna), it will be one talked about event.


AraabMuzik (Sick) Dubstep Live! 2011

OMG, this dude is beyond SICK. Crazy on the mixer. If you don’t know about DubStep, it’s the new musical genre rising in North America but popular in England, as it was originated in south London, United Kingdom. Even rappers like West Coast Snoop Dogg affiliated EMCEE, Goldie Loc (Tha Eastsidaz, Tha Dogg Pound), Will.I.Am, LMFAO to name a few are all blending their urban sounds to DubStep.

Check out AraabMuzik killing it with his DubStep sounds.


Michael Jackson – We’ve Had Enough unreleased song

There seems to be no known greater songwriter and entertainer other than the King of Pop himself, the late Michael Jackson. Scheming through some unreleased songs and footage of the pop icon, I ran across ‘We’ve Had Enough’ which serves as a song expressing frustrations with relationships, injustice, selfishness of the world and other troubling issues. It definitely has a message and touches the soul.

Check out Michael Jackson ‘We’ve Had Enough’.


Will.I.Am ft. Jennifer Lopez & Mick Jagger – T.H.E. (The Hardest Ever) video

I love this song. It’s my ish and watch me go H.A.M. on the dance floor at the club whenever this joint comes on. And J-Lo….Call me!

Check out T.H.E. (The Hardest Ever) by Black Eyed Peas front man Will.I.Am ft. Jennifer Lopez & Mick Jagger.


V-Nasty “If I want to say the N-Word then I can”

She does have a point. Think about it, she’s WHITE. They invented the N-Word. Black people, I understand how offensive it might be to hear such a controversial word (different in opinions about whether it is offensive or not); however, it’s not ours. Change the spelling of it or even turn it into an acronym, yet you can’t destroy it’s root.

Claiming Atlanta rapper Gucci Mane had no problem with her dropping N-bombs, Nasty said her decision to limit the usage came from people feeling disrespected.

“Gucci Mane had no problem with it. Gucci Mane told me, sh*t, I’m more street than these muthaf*ckas that are talkin’ about me saying the N-word,” Nasty said in an interview. “Everybody tells me that. Nobody ever actually came to my face and said, “You can’t say the N-word.” You know what I’m sayin’? I feel like a lot of people were feeling disrespected. I don’t want people to feel like I’m racist, or whatever the fact is. I’d rather just have a positive way, and show them that that word does not make me. … I don’t feel like it has anything to do with race. I feel like people use that word the way I use it. You know what I’m sayin’? If I can’t say it, then basically nobody should be able to say it then, you know what I’m sayin’? I don’t give a f*ck!” (XXL Mag)
