Another week, another video round-up. Y’all know the drill!
Jadyn Maria ft. Flo Rida – Good Girls Like Bad Boys
This new kid on the block comes to us courtesy of Ne-Yo, and she certainly has some potential. I’m gonna have to see a live performance before I’m sold on her, but otherwise, she fits into a certain pop/R&B mold that will serve her well. And yeah, the whole Red Riding Hood motif for this video doesn’t hurt. But dammit, why is Flo Rida involved!??! WHY MUST YOU PUNISH ME, LORD!!!!
Raphael Saadiq – Let’s Take A Walk
While I wasn’t necessarily taken with The Way I See It, it doesn’t take away from my opinion of Raqhael Saddiq, who continues to make great music that can be appreciated by all types of music lovers. Of course this video would be a full-on 60s Motown throwback, like the brotha was performing on Ed Sullivan, or somethin’! And the back-up dancers are pretty damn groovy.
Vida Guerra ft. Prohoezak – Like That
It’s Vida. . . .and she’s rapping. . . . . .This is why God created the mute button, ’cause there’s really no other way to tolerate, much less enjoy this video.
Kid Cudi ft. Kanye West & Common – Make Her Say
Ya know, after all this time, I just can’t figure out what this song is supposed to be about! I feel like I have an idea, and it’s right on the tip of my head, I mean tongue. And this video doesn’t help me solve the mystery! It’s gonna drive me nuts if I don’t figure it out soon!
Tabi Bonney – Jet Setter
Tabi certainly is an odd character, but I think he’s made that one of his strengths. As someone who lives in the DC/Metro area, I was more than happy to see him performing at the Rock The Bells second stage a little over a week ago. And he’s always got the nicest ladies in his videos! Even on a lower budget that most rap vids, the “grown folks rooftop party” theme is a nice touch.
