Diggy’s time to shine (VIDEO)

Posted by Ebony Minott

Everyone know Rev Run’s son Daniel “Diggy” Simmons, right? You know, the cute inspiring teen rapper that follows the beat to his own drum. Well, Diggy put out a freestyle to the beat “Made you look” by Nas. I must say that I am pretty impressed by his rhymes. Maybe he’ll be the next Lil’ Bow Wow of his generation.

Diggy is definitely growing up in front our eyes. We watched him on MTV’s Run House, stuck between a little boy and a preteen. Now the braces are off, the voice is a little lower, and a little man with swag is formed. I wonder what’s next for Diggy Simmons.

Listen to his freestyle.

Nicki Minaj – “Your Love” (VIDEO)

A still from Nicki's new video "Your Love" 

Nicki Minaj is back with her second solo video for her summer smash “Your Love.” It’s a cute effort, definitely better than “Massive Attack,” I’ll say. It’s pretty basic, but it actually goes with the song (so proud lol).

The Evolution of the Male R&B Singer?

Posted by Ariel Cherie

In the latest issue of Vibe Magazine, they show the evolution of the R&B crooner from Aaron Hall to Jeremih. The Dream, who was also featured, just released the last installment of his Love trilogy called Love King. But let’s be real, Dream, do you deserve to have that title. Who should really be crowned The Love King?

The way I see it is, if you’re not willing to put their song on a slow jams playlist, they’re not in the running. So Dream, take your makeup bag and go that way –>.

Videos that made our list of the best slow jams by male singer had to have some kind of lyrical content, sex appeal, and singing ability. (Jeremih is not on the list because he whines.)

(And thanks to Rita for all of her R&B guru-ness! Follow her on Twitter @sheisme604!)

10. Robin Thicke – “Sex Therapy”

 

9. Lloyd – “I Want You”

 

 

8. Justin Timberlake – “My Love” feat. T.I.

 

7. Ne-Yo – “Mirror”

6. Donnell Jones – Where I Wanna Be (a classic and a must have for the list)

5. Avant – “Makin’ Good Love”

4. D’Angelo – “Untitled (How Does It Feel)” (He started the whole sexy video thing when he appeared naked this video. He’s number four because we haven’t heard anything from him in a long while, and he’s unsexy now, but still deserves a spot on the list.)

3. Chris Brown – “Take You Down” (This is the song that made me feel like a cougar, and it started my love for Breezy.)

2. Trey Songz – “I Invented Sex”

1. Usher – “Trading Places”

VIDEO: Beyonce’s “Why Don’t You Love Me”

Posted by Ariel Cherie

Beyonce is at it again, this time in  her 75th video from her album I Am… Sasha Fierce called “Why Don’t You Love Me.” (Okay, maybe it’s her ninth video.)

She calls herself “BB Homemaker,” which is really hard to believe, since BB cooks, cleans, and gardens. In the midst of doing that, her man still doesn’t want to love her the way she deserves.

In true Bey fashion, she strolls around in her hot pants and skirts. It’s kind of like the alter ego of Deena Jones (her character from Dreamgirls) gone bipolar. One minute she’s crying and upset and rolling around in her bed with eyeliner streaming down her face; the next, she’s smiling and laughing in her Vargas girl getup.

I can’t lie, I love the 60′s look and the art direction. And the fact that Bey can co-direct a video with Melina (the same one behind Rihanna’s “Rude Boy”) is great.
