New Keri Hilson viddles

That'd be the new vid for "Turnin Me On", featuring Lil Wayne.  Anyone who remembers me posting this track a while ago would notice that this version sounds different; there are extra horns and synths on the track, which sounds good.  Also, Wayne's verse has been Auto-Tuned, and he changed up the delivery of the bars slightly.  Ehh...should've stuck with the old verse.  All in all, it's a good video.  Peep the cameo by Rich Boy.  Oh, and Polow, who produced.

Second Track: "Streetlights"

Third Cut: "Tell Everybody That You Know" (feat. Lil enyaW)

Links?  Clickity, clackity, cluckity.

If you want my opinion, the first one is pretty OK.  The second one, I could do without.  The third one...ehh...I'm saying "No."  The second and third, I think are missing drums.  You know how "Love Lockdown" was, until the chorus? Yeah...but these lead nowhere.  Weezy sort of pwns Ye on his his own track.  I mean...neither one...sounds great...but he hits the beat a little better.

You're welcome for that.

Reverse graffiti also known as clean tagging, dust tagging or grime writing, is a method of creating graffiti on walls or other surfaces by removing dirt from a surface. It is usually done by removing dirt/dust with the fingertip(s) from windows or other dirty surfaces. Reverse graffiti on windows/glass can be highly visible due to the reflection of sunlight. Due to the lack of paint it is often considered legal and used for Advertising,with companies such as Microsoft and Smirnoff, have had their products advertised this way. ~ Courtesy of Wikipedia

I'm not sure if I'm supposed to have this...so...we're not saying names...

The name of the joint is "naM redaelgniR", and...it's nice.  I actually haven't heard anything bad from this guy lately.  I think this is the intro for the album; it kind of sets the stage for him to do his thing on the album, cohesively titled Thr33 Ringz. In less than three minutes, he embraces his weirdness, and claims to have the industry by the knickers.  The synths in the beat sound like calliopes, and the entire song is in 3/4 time, so...it actually does sound like circus music. 4/5 on the Shrug Scale.  Click the pic.

Didn't even know there was a video for this...

Nas (feat. The Game & Chris Brown) - "Make the World Go Round"

     Definitely one of my favorite tracks on the album.  Considering all the parties involved, this could have gone a lot worse.  The Game drops a pretty straight verse, bringing the usual "red" references, but twisting the name-dropping slightly: "Jessica Simpson, that's so-so/Nick want his *Baby Back*, but that's 'Loso".  The hook has just enough Chris Brown on it to keep you from getting annoyed with him.  Even Cool & Dre step out of the box a little with the beat, taking a step away from the trademark Miami sound.  Oh, and the video's not bad, either.
