If there is one thing you can say about Drake, It’s the fact that he knows how to change the narrative to his own liking. Last night (June 13) Drake released the video to his latest track, “I’m Upset” that doubles up as a reunion between himself and his former Degrassi co-stars. Drake has once again tagged director Karena Evans,

Although the video is still spankin’ brand new, I chose this video because not only is it a fun video to watch, but it also depicts clearly what money can do to a person. Although I am still trying to figure out if the protagonist of the video is J. Cole, himself or his alter ego kiLL edward, there is a

So in honor of celebrating the birthday of the GOAT also known as Q-Tip, I wanted to share one of my favorite videos from my childhood. Yes, I was too young to know or understand the true message behind the song, but that doesn’t take away the fact that it was a really good ass song. It was on a Violators

Although the song is catchy and sounds like something that will be played at all the BBQs and Skating rinks in summer 18′, the song just does nothing for me. However, I appreciate

I’ve always loved this video because it shows the spiritual side of Jhene. Although it is evident that she is well in touch with herself and her spirituality, it is always a wonderful surprise to see her express it in her music and her visuals.

Nostalgia is the feeling that I get when I watch this video. Being a fan of Pharrell since forever, this video shows both his creativity and his sense of humor with the floating heads of himself and his bandmates/partners. The song peaked at NO. 6 on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart and features British TV personality, Alesha Dixon. Oh,

There was a time when a Pharrell and Jay-Z collaboration was THE perfect duo. Between “Excuse me, miss”, “Change Clothes”, and of course, “Frontin’.” When this video came out in 2003, I was a Sophomore in high school, and Skateboard P was (and still is) the man. Featuring Lauren London, Mimi Faust, and even Lenny Kravitz, the video is a
