Music Videos according to Me

MeezDiscreet · #1 06-15-2001, 02:47 AM

these are just some random ramblings about some of the music videos out:

"contagious" by the isley bros. feat. ron isley a.k.a. mr. biggs - okay, i don't know about anyone else, but i think he is takiing the "mr. biggs" things just a lil too far!! and, ron, are you not an isley too? what's up with this "featuring" nonsense

"i cry" by ja rule feat. lil mo' - what did his homeboy die from? don't tell me he died because they snatched them chains from around his neck

"midwest swing" by the st. lunatics - nelly, i still don't know why your cutlass is blue. and, why does lil momma in the laundromat have on a shower cap and lil daddy got on the mouse mask?? (and he wants us to believe that they aint country??)

"falling" by alicia keys - GONE 'HEAD GULL!! i like that video almost as much as i like the song. most of us have dealt with or been close to someone who has dealt with a man in prison. it can break a sista

"fiesta" by r. kelly - it aint a fiesta with a bunch of half-naked girls, robert

"pop" by n'sync - aren't those boys just adorable?? i really like this video, except the beat-box breakdown

"resolution" by aaliyah - the song is cute, but why does all her songs that are about relationships (which all of them are) never feature a love-interest in the video? by the by, the snake thing is very, very odd

"you remind me" by usher - i really like this song, but did anyone else catch him humping the tree??!!

"hit-em-up style" by blu cantrell - it took me a minute to like this song, although i don't believe she will be getting a grammy for best songwriting (check the lyrics: while he was schemin', i was beamin in the beamer just beamin'--wth??), but i think the video is cute. it follows the song, which i like

"she's all i got" by jimmy cozier - this video is cool. ol girl in the video is crazy though. she didn't have to pull the phone out the wall!!!

"get yo' freak on" by missy elliot - okay, missy, what is up with this jungle of humans thing?

that's all i got for right now..."le critique" will be back...1

Why did Missy have to spit in that man mouth

??? I love Missy though b/c she is so creative. I have not seen any videos for about a month but India Arie : Video I really like her. I'll think of some more later.

I thought it was just me that noticed that. The video "Four Page Letter" is the same-dancing in front of a bonfire while homeboy is caged up in the jungle.....left me confused

I'm with you on that! And is it just me, but doesn't "loverboy" sound like a few of her other songs? "Heartbreaker," "Fantasy," etc.?

"oochie wally" I hate the song, what it says, all of that! he really really really WHAT??????

"come and get it" Puffy cracks me up with his dances, but that jiggy new move that kids do in all the videos erks me(cause i can't do it)

"let me blow ya mind" eve is cool and gwen stefani is cool with me too, it's just played out.

"dirty pop" I like the be-box at the end! it's just a little long.

"boodylicious" actually, i like this video, the MJ tribute is cool. where did they find big girl at? she was out!

AND THE WORST VIDEO OF ALL TIME IS:

Hammer"pop ya collar mane"
YES! hammer just made this song and it's on the net, he just looks pathetic and the video looks like someone shot it on a old camera, sad man sad!

I can't figure this out, either cause I KNOW he was in the Isley Brothers in the first place... I guess he thinks he's surpassed them to the point where he needs to be "featured".

You see what I think about that.

Another thing this video makes me wonder is why Chanté Moore and R. Kelly seem so cozy lately. And why does she leave with him in the end after he calls her a b*tch in front of all those men? She ain't right.

OKAY???? Me and my boyfriend tried to come up with every possible explanation.. maybe the cuts were so deep he bled to death? But the fool looks good as dead as soon as he hits the floor.

I was thinking the same thing. All of her songs sound very similar. Her image, IMO, is getting tired and a little played out. I'm not hating on her or anything, but it's time for change. I'm tired of the little baby doll tops, cootie cutter shorts, spiked stiletto heels, high pitched singing, and that stupid innocent look on her face. Maybe it's just me...

First of all, Ms. Carey needs to ho ahead (I mean go) and do something that suits her personality b/c it seems as if she has another goal.

The new ISLEY BROS. song f/ R.Kelly and Chante Moore (as it should be titled) is the ish--I love that little part at the end.

I am LOVIN' that Alicia Keys song and video!! Does anyone know if that single is in stores?

"Bootylicious"--the video is cute, but did they really have to cut to Beyonce on ALL of her ad libs?

Videos/songs that I am sick of:
"I Cry"--me too, everytime I hear this
"Get Your Freak On"--ugh!
"My Baby"--Lil Romeo is cute, but Bow Wow is better
"Fiesta Part II"--possibly the most overplayed song of the summer

There are more that I like/hate, but I can't think of them right now. I'll be back to rant and rave.....

Girl, I thought the same thing when I saw this video the other night. It seemed worse than "Carmen:The HipHopera"!

Whoa, so you know it's gotta be bad!!

I agree, lil bow wow is better and cuter! what are they gonna call themselves when they are older, big bow wow?

Trust me, I'm in the business and Mariah Carey is the hoodrat noone speaks about. Most of these big stars are quite loose, but since they are respected, it's not talked about. The only reason why she is getting talked about now is because she put herself out there. I crack up everytime I see an interview of hers talking about "I have only been with 2 men"(her ex husband and Jeter at the time)She is so full of it. I know going through a divorce sometimes makes you go through "the ho phase" but she has stayed in it.

I'm sure they'll keep their names.. after all, we got Lil Mo, Lil Kim, Lil O, Lil Troy, Lil Flip, Lil Jon, Lil Zane... I'm too tired to go on.

Ya'll are too funny.

Okay, yeah, Ron Isley IS an Isley Brother by birth...but, he isn't actually part of the entity "The Isley Brothers." For example, some award show last year gave him a lifetime achievement award...and mentioned the Isley Brothers a couple of times...the Isley Brothers were sitting right next to him in the audience, but the camera wasn't focused on them...it was on Ron.
Lil Romeo: the singing is ANNOYING...the video and the little girls with the bad makeup...I turn the station/channel everytime that song comes on.
Lil Bow wow: cute KID...KNOWS he's the isht...disturbing b/c little kids are running around after this boy like he's the second coming.
Hammer: I haven't heard the song...plllllease don't let me hear it, I may cry for the poor man.
Hoochie Wally Wally: That song is SAD...I like the beat, actually. But, the message is just another example of how men glorify THEMSELVES...giving THEMSELVES props--I guess if you don't sweat yourself, no one else will.
