Things That Make You Go Hmmm: No Church in the Wild (Video)

Kanye West and Jay Z - No Church In The Wild (music video) from High5Collective on Vimeo.

By far the BEST music video that you'll never see on television.

[Hook: Frank Ocean]
Human beings in a mob
What's a mob to a king? What's a king to a God?
What's a God to a non-believer who don't believe in anything?
Will he make it out alive? Alright, alright, no church in the wild

[Jay-Z]
Tears on the mausoleum floor, blood stains the Colosseum doors
Lies on the lips of priests, Thanksgiving disguised as a feast
Rolling in Rolls Royce Corniche
Only the doctors got this, I’m hiding from police
Cocaine seats, all white like I got the whole thing bleached
Drug dealer chic, I’m wondering if a thug’s prayers reach
Is Pious pious cause God loves pious?
Socrates asked whose bias do y'all seek?
All for Plato, screech, I’m out here balling, I know yall hear my sneaks
Jesus was a carpenter, Yeezy he laid beats
Hova flow the Holy Ghost, get the hell up out your seats, preach

[Hook]

[Bridge: The-Dream]
I live by you, desire
I stand by you, walk through the fire
Your love is my scripture
Let me into your encryption

[Kanye West]
Coke on her black skin
Make a stripe like a zebra, I call that jungle fever
You will not control the threesome
Just roll the weed up until I get me some
We formed a new religion
No sins as long as there’s permission
And deception is the only felony
So never fuck nobody without telling me
Sunglasses and Advil, last night was mad real
Sun coming up, 5 a.m., I wonder if they got cabs still?
Thinking 'bout the girl in all leopard
Who was rubbing the wood like Kiki Shepherd
Two tattoos one read "No Apologies"
The other said "Love is Cursed by Monogamy"
It’s something that the pastor don’t preach
It’s something that a teacher can’t teach
When we die the money we can’t keep
But we probably spend it all cause the pain ain’t cheap, preach

Hook: Frank Ocean]
Human beings in a mob
What's a mob to a king? What's a king to a God?
What's a God to a non-believer who don't believe in anything?
Will he make it out alive?
Alright, alright,
No church in the wild (x4)

Murs (New Video)

I must admit I wasn't really checking for Murs prior to this track. It seems as though a haircut and heartbreak can do wonders for a man. "Remember 2 Forget" will definitely appear on the soundtrack to my life. Also, Ski Beatz makes this easy to stroll to. Love & Rockets Vol. 1: The Transformation is due out October 11th.

Last night I sat down to cry, over you
Then I stopped to ask myself why, over you
And snapped out of it and got on with my day cuz
My life's been a lot better since the break up

Don't Call It A Comeback: One Chance

I'm a tad too old for boy bands but One Chance was always that guilty pleasure of mine. These

Chicago natives have been jerked around for years but hopefully T-Pain won't pull a J records and shelve their debut that's rumored to be dropping later this year. They first popped on the scene back in '06 with "Look At Her" and I'm assuming that they got tired of just staring at women because now they're back with "Sexin' on You". Sidebar...does anyone want to talk about how strong the product placement was? I mean damn, did Nuvo PAY to shoot the video? Also, would anyone like to discuss how the "let's give them shots of straight alcohol and lock them in a sweaty ass room" concept? No one? Ok...well their mixtape Ain't No Room For Talkin' is out now.

Look at you shaking you can't control what you do

Lickin' so much like we swimming in a pool

Auburn "Hello" (Video)

The video, lyrics, and artists are all certified in my book. Auburn can not only sing ("La la la") but has a fly flow. Rumor has it she'll be dropping a studio album later this year.

Walkin out cold stones baby he was stone cold
Saw him looking at me stairing harder than mofo

Why you listening to your friends?
They dont wanna see us be.
Boy You better take it slow
Or I'll be history

-Artemis J

Kid Cudi "No One Believes Me" (Video)

On August 19th Fright Night (which is a remake of an 80s flick) hits theaters and it's about a vampire and Vegas and some high school shit. Whatever, it's basically Disturbia meets The Lost Boys. I'll only see it because McLovin is in it...oh and because Colin Farrell has still got it. All that matters is Cudder has made a video for "No One Believes Me" which will be featured on the soundtrack and it's awkward yet full of pure human emotion, just like Cudi. SWOON.

I know that something is wrong here

I can feel it but no one believes me

I know that something is strange here

I can sense it but no one believes me

Peeped my boy Googling how to pick a lock? Hilarious.

Kanye West & Jay-Z "Otis" (Video)

I'm still processing the fact that Aziz Ansari is in this video. However, they get mad points for the donation at the end.

Luxury rap, the Hermes of verses
Sophisticated ignorance, write my curses in cursive

Driving Benzes, wit’ no benefits
Not bad huh? For some immigrants
Build your fences, we diggin’ tunnels
Can’t you see? We gettin’ money up under you

Oh and just in case you were curious about the song that was sampled...

I know she's waiting just anticipating
the thing that you'll never never possess
no no no but while she there waiting
try just a little bit of tenderness

-Artemis J

Cee-Lo Green "Cry Baby" (Video)

Jaleel White as Cee-Lo and a 1950s theme shot on an obvious constructed set? Honestly, what else do you need to make an AMAZING video? This is the perfect anthem for anyone rocking a Team Heartbreak jersey. Just saying...

I bet if you try, you could live without me

I really don't know why you bother to cry about be

Jhené Aiko - Stranger (Music Video)

I'm back from the bat cave to deliver to you the recently leaked visuals of my favorite song off Jhené Aiko's .sailing soul(s) mixtape.

Harlem
You can thank me later.

Hot or NOT: Far East Movement

This is off of their Free Wired album and though the song is a banger the video left much to be desired. That's my opinion and I'm sticking to it. What's yours?

Eatin real good take your bottles out to lunch
Sleepin real good take your vodka out to brunch

Asa "Why Can't We" (Video)

Asa is back with the video to "Why Can't We" off of her sophomoric album Beautiful Imperfection which drops in the States this September. I lover her 50s style and sound. And it features a multicultural Soul Train line too?! How how I long for that UK swag. S/o to my love at parlezmusique.blogspot.com for putting me on.

You worry much about things you don't understand
But don't give up, if it doesn't go with the plan

-Artemis J

Frank Ocean "Novocain" (Video)

Now I'm somthin' like the chemist on campus

But there's no drug around, quite like what I found in you

Not my favorite track off of his Nostalgia, Ultra EP but it's definitely not the worse. The video is just depressing as all hell but hey, so is the song. Here's one of my favorites.

And it's all good and it's all free

And it's all you and it's only me

Artemis J

HOT OR NOT: Bobby Brackins

I don't know what A1 means but I do know it's an expensive ass steak sauce. I guess anything that is "A1" is on that boss status and is delicious. Dev just might own the summer. Watch what I told you. As for Bobby Brackins, he looks a little too much like Raz B and sounds a little too much like Legacy from the New Boyz.
"My lifestyle is A1."

Rihanna "S&M" (Video)

Rihanna has gained back all of my respect and then some. She is officially the baddest woman in the game. Nicki, Gaga, Bey...there's nothing wrong with second place. Sleep on her if you want. She might own your career when you wake up. They Crayola Easter edition colors are growing on me...

Sticks and stones may break my bones
But chains and whips excite me

Rejectz (Starring Chris Brown) - Cat Daddy

Ever since BLKDMNDS directed a few videos for Tyga and C-Breezy, I've grown to appreciate the artistic direction they've taken in their music videos. Rejectz' Cat Daddy was next up for the BLKDMNDS visual treatment.

Harlem
Jeans skinny like Squidward!

Adale "Rolling in the Deep" (Video)

Yes this is real. Adele is finally BACK. "Rolling in the Deep" is the debut single off of her sophomore album which is cleverly titled 21 (that's how hold she'll be when she was recording it). Get excited. Oh and don't be fooled. This is actually the music video to the song. I know, mad artisitc for no reason. 21 hits stores January 21st of next year.

See how I leave with every piece of you
Don’t underestimate the things that I will do

Bun B - Put It Down ft. Drake

One of my favorite songs this past summer finally get some visuals courtesy of Mr. Boomtown.

Harlem
You can thank me later.

Rihanna - What's My Name ft. Drake

One of my favorite songs by Rihanna gets the visual treatment. Even with the bold red hair, Rihanna actually looks adorable here.


Harlem
You can thank me later.

Big Sean - Too Fake ft. Chiddy Bang

My favorite track off Big Sean's Finally Famous v.3 featuring just got the visual treatment. Artemis J's Chiddy Bang and my personal fave rapper Big Sean collide in this track to bring you one hell-of-a song. Enjoy.

Harlem
You can thank me later.

I like the song, and don't have any major problems with the video. Travie isn't an actor, so he comes off kinda corny. but i can appreciate the asian art feel he go goin on here...
