arsha Ambrosius, one half of the now defunct baby-making neo-soul duo Floetry, hosted her album release party in Midtown Manhattan and I was lucky enough to get to attend. The event was held in the Samsung Store Columbus Circle and feature a swank atmosphere, an excellent and gratis Hennessey cocktails that made everything seem better.

Flamboyantly eccentric Outkast emcee Andre 3000 (“…Benjamin Andre to be exact…”) just did us all a big fucking favor when he dropped his latest single “I Do” on the Internets. Hopefully this means a solo album will be here soon. The track is midtempo soulful jam smooth as honey with its Lenny Williams sample and serves as a great contrast to Big Boi’s more upbeat fair from his recent release.
This is one of those tracks you should just pause whatever else you’re listening to that’s not THIS and DIVE IN! You can find the track right after the jump.

Janelle Monae’s dropped a new video on us. This time the meticulously coiffed singer and Big Boi welcome us to The Palace of The Dogs, an asylum whose residents have been forbidden to dance for its subversive effects. That is, until Janelle Monae came through with her unique brand of old-school inspired funk complete with classy brass.

The Erykah Badu hype machine is in full effect! The singer has just released the video for her first single, “Window Seat” from the upcoming LP, New Amerykah Part Two: The Return of the Ankh, which comes out TOMORROW! Best believe I’ll be buying it LEGALLY on iTunes as soon as the clock strikes midnight. “Window Seat” is arguably one of Badu’s best videos, certainly one of her most creative.
Filmed in one take in Dallas’ Dealy Plaza (site of the JFK assassination), “Window Seat” features Badu walking through the streets removing every single article of her clothing, climaxing with a great statement on conformity at the end. Whether you’re an Erykah fan or not, I strongly suggest you watch this video and draw some inspiration from it.

The Erykah Badu hype machine is in full effect. Her latest album New Amerykah Part Two: The Return of the Ankh hits stores on Tuesday. The singer recently dropped a video with Lil Wayne, appeared on Jimmy Fallon, and even leaked her own track on her website. The singer has even taken time out of her busy schedule to show some love to your favorite blogger.
Yesterday I posted a link to a new song which I’m almost entirely certain is on the new album. Today I bring you footage of the singer’s live appearance on The Wendy Williams show, a performance in which, Badu later admitted on her Twitter, she forgot the words to the first verse. I don’t think anyone minds.

With less than a week to go before Erykah Badu’s latest album New Amerykah Pt. 2: The Return of The Ankh, hits the streets, it’s no surprise that tracks are beginning to leak. Check out this remix-like creation of Junior M.A.F.I.A.’s 90′s posse jam, Get Money.

Ladies and gentlemen, Usher is finally in the building. After his creatively questionable mea culpa “Guilty” hit the streets a couple weeks ago, I was worried that Usher would no longer be a relevant force in pop music. Thankfully his newest video for “Lil Freak” featuring Nicki Minaj shows us the R&B crooner still has a pulse. The song features a nice beat with a sample from one of my favorite Stevie Wonder songs, “Golden Lady” “Living For The City.” (Thanks for the correction, Mia.) Continuing his legacy of celebrity exhibitionism, this time Usher reveals his love of threesomes. Lil Wayne protege Niki Minaj also brings the fire with her freaky bisexual flow. I guess they don’t call her Nikki Minaj for ‘nothin. Usher’s Raymond vs. Raymond drops next week.

Da Baddest Bitch, Trina, dropped a new video recently with guest appearances from Diddy and Keri Hilson. The video features Trina grinding against rented sports cars that match her outfit, seated in nondescript ambiguous corporate environments and ‘chillin in private jets she does not own. It’s amazing that someone who supposedly has so much money still manages to look like a stripper.

Robin Thicke just dropped his second or third video in support of his latest LP, Sex Therapy. Confused? Let me offer a bit of clarification: “Rollacoasta,” the upbeat disco jam that you’re getting ready to watch, features Estelle and is slated to be the singer’s second single outside the States.
We Yankees will have to wait for the video for our second single, “It’s in the Mornin” featuring Snoop Dogg and Manuela Arbeláez from “The Price is Right” playing Thicke’s love interest. The video was shot sometime in March and has no scheduled release date that I could find. Until that fateful day, I invite you to ride Thicke’s “Rollacoasta,” which has to be quite thrilling given it’s dangerous use of misspelling.
