Ya'll better leave my (white) boyfriend alone!! :) ha ha..
That boy has serious skills.. I love the song, and will be the first in line to buy his album.. I watched the VMAs just for his performance, since the rest of the show was SUPER whack.

LL Cool J: he can still get it!!! WHEW!!! lordhavmercy!!

I don't know why?!?!?!
 

But when i so the LL video first thing i noticed was how good he looks. The second part is it reminds me of the old Julia Roberts movie pretty woman. The first scene that made me think this is the jewlery case. When she puts her hand in and he snaps it shut. The second part is when he is in the limo and she is in the room. Its been long time since I have seen the movie. :p :p :p :p

Re: I don't know why?!?!?!
 

He was somewhere on TV and he did make the video after Pretty Woman. I think it's cute.:)

Mo' Videos
 

have ya'll seen the "one on one" video by keith sweat? it is modeled after love & basketball--dang near to the T! but, it's cool. i like it.

and i really love erykah badu's new video for "love of my life." especially when she is in the stairwell rapping with m.c. lyte and when she is on the turntable and looks into the audience...really cute concept for a video

i like "truth hurts" video because she has my girl monique in it. and it is better than the contagious video because she seems more like she is performing and less like she is posing.

and i die laughing every time i see the clipse video for the song "when the last time," when that guy grabs the mic and starts rapping. i have to pause everytime i hear "SHAAWWWTAY! WHAT YO' NAME IS? PILL-BURRY DO MAN."

Re: Mo' Videos
 

Dang, all of these new videos coming out and I can't seem to catch them b/c of my work and school schedule. But MeezDiscreet, I have seen the new Clipse video many times and I too always LMAO @ Shaawwwtay! What yo' name is?
:D

LL is one fine piece of man candy!!:D I love the video too.:D

Ooooooooh MeezDiscreet
 

LOL, I just watched for the first time ever, the EVE video.. . . now when they are walking on the beach, the editor needs to be shot because her top exposes her left shoulder in the first and last scene and the right in the 2nd and 3rd scene. I was sitting there like EEEEEEEW HUSH. Plus the type was more an ALICIA thing than an EVE one.

Oh and I saw Monica's. . . didn't really like her new look. I love Monica with short hair.

I am watching MTV2Soul. . .maybe they will show Nelly and Kelly.

Patti LaBelle
 

Now y'all KNOW I love me some Patti but she looks like HELL in that Dilemma video. Did you all see it? It's like she is showing her age and a couple of other folks' age too.

I saw the Making of the Video today and then the actual video and I really like it. I like videos that tell a story that go along with the song. I must say Kelly is a really pretty girl and am glad to see her out there on her own.

Re: Patti LaBelle
 

CT4 I'm glad as well that she knows she can make it without Beyonce!!

Re: Mo' Videos
 

I also like Erykah's new video. She always comes up with inventive ways to get the song's point across.

I finally saw Truth Hurt's new video. It was better than "Addictive" and it was interesting how she worked R. Kelly's part into the video.

Oh a bad note, did anyone else hear that she and Dr. Dre and being sude for $500 million :eek: because of the Indian sample that they used in the song. Come to find out, the sample was not cleared!

Truth Hurts, and the lawsuit she's just been slapped with can't feel too good, either.

An Indian film and music company is suing the R&B songstress and her associated record labels to the tune of more than $500 million over the use of an unlicensed sample on "Addictive," the first single from Truth Hurts' debut LP, Truthfully Speaking.

A lawyer retained by the Bombay-based Saregama India Limited filed a copyright infringement lawsuit, which names as defendants Truth Hurts, Interscope Records, its parent company Universal Music Group, the album's producer Dr. Dre and his imprint Aftermath Records, in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas, Houston Division, on September 12.

"Addictive" uses a sample of the 20-year-old song "Thoda Resham Lagta Hai" by the popular Indian artist Lata Mangeshkar without permission from copyright holder Saregama India Ltd., the company's attorney Dedra S. Davis claims. Not only was a snippet of Mangeshkar's soaring vocals borrowed, but the hook, melody and rhythm were also lifted, Davis alleges.

"When you hear it, it's like, 'Oh my god, they didn't even try to get original with it,' " she said. "[They didn't] try to change it up or anything like that."

A pre-trial hearing is scheduled for November 22. Saregama India Ltd. has a British subsidiary branch within the court's jurisdiction in Texas, which accounts for why the case is being heard in Houston.

Davis said she issued Universal Music Group a cease-and-desist letter prior to filing the suit, which the label conglomerate ignored. Additionally, Seregama India Ltd.'s copyright manager asked UMG to stop using the sample because the lyrics of "Addictive," in which rapper Rakim drops the f-bomb in his rhymes and Truth sings the lines "I like it rough" and "He makes me scream," were potentially offensive to some Indians' cultural and religious sensibilities. This letter only serves as evidence that UMG was made aware of Seregama India's claim as copyright holders of the song, and the objectionable content doesn't factor into the lawsuit.

Coincidentally, UMG's foreign subsidiary Universal India sought and was granted permission to license the song for an unrelated use as a cover 12 days before Truthfully Speaking was released June 26, furthering the suit's claim that "the defendants clearly, and admittedly knew their activities were, and currently are, infringing on [Seragama's] copyrighted work."

A Universal Music Group spokesperson had no comment on the matter.

The 90-year-old production and distribution company is seeking monetary damages based on profits from the sale of Truthfully Speaking, the single "Addictive," attorney's fees, and punitive damages amounting to $500 million. Truthfully Speaking has sold more than 273,000 copies, according to SoundScan. The complaint states that "the defendants' infringing conduct has also caused, and is causing, substantial and irreparable injury and damage to [Saregama] in an amount not capable of determination, and, unless restrained, will cause further irreparable injury, leaving the Plaintiffs with no adequate remedy at law."

DJ Quik, who produced "Addictive," said that he stumbled upon the track one night on television.

"I woke up one morning … I turned on the TV and landed on this Hindi channel and just turned it up real loud," Quik explained this past summer. "There was a commercial on and I just got up and went into the bathroom and started brushing my teeth. I'm brushing, and before I knew it, I was grooving … [the beat on the TV] was just in my body. I went back in there and looked at the TV — there was a girl on there bellydancing, just like real fly. So I pushed record on the VCR."

what's up with Erykah Badu's new video??? Any comments!!!:confused: :confused: :confused:

I have NO clue! All I can say is that it doesn't surprise me one bit. She's um welllll a bit different. But I love the song.:D

Love of My Life
 

She was on 106 & Park and she stated that the video is a reflection of what the song is about. The "love" of her life is hip-hop, just like Sanaa Lathan and Taye Diggs in Brown Sugar. This song is off the soundtrack. In the video Erykah is Hip-Hop and she goes through all the different phases that hip-hop has been through, i.e. breakdancing, west coast rap, etc.

I can't believe no one has talked about Christina Aguilera's video. I went the longest time avoiding it, then bam! Flip on MTV and of course they are showing it. So I nearly regurgitated my lunch due to the utter lack of taste (as well as lack of clothing) in the video. It is horrid. It is raunchy. It is debauchery at its worst. Overall, she just sucks, lol. Why is she fronting like she's hardcore? Ol' girl was JUST an airhead the other day! Now she's gangsta with it? Nope...sorry. And don't think that Redman gives you street cred either. Sorry again.

I just loathe Christina all of a sudden and it really is a shame because the girl has talent. Somewhere. Under that new slutty/wannabe ghetto, but ain't really/DIRRRRRRRTY exterior. Sigh.
