Chris Brown - Look At Me Now Ft. Lil Wayne & Busta Rhymes

Holy schnikes! This song is ridiculous. A slow drippy beat and some of the most ridiculously fast flows you've ever heard from Weezy and Busta.

Diddy - Dirty Money - Last Train to Paris

Just how many videos does Diddy need to promote an album? If you're talking about his recent release with Dirty Money Last Train to Paris, we're talking a minimum of five. I guess, in an age where you really have to self promote in order to survive, Diddy is doing his part to make sure his album, as well as the artists featured on it are successful.

Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Heads Will Roll

How did one song spawn an awesome video and a couple of crazy remixes? Yeah Yeah Yeahs' Heads will Roll is already an infectious song to race to, but Little Vampire's remix of the track is featured on the soundtrack to Gran Turismo 5. Personally I would have gone with the Tiesto remix but they are both good and lucky you, you don't have to choose. Check out the original video below along with the tiesto and Little Vampire remixes under that.

Lady Gaga Announces 'Born This Way' Album and Single

Lady Gaga definitely captures our attention when she wants to, and what better way to announce her new album and single than with a bare ass shot in the style of Bruce Springsteen's Born in the U.S.A? At midnight on New Years Eve, she tweeted, “THE SONG 2 13 11 THE RECORD 5 23 11″ along with the accompanying photo, meaning the the first single will be the title track, which will be released on February 13, 2011 and the album itself will drop on May 23, 2011. Boy, she sure knows how to rile up her little monsters.

Black Eyed Peas: Is This the Beginning of the End?

I'm going to make this short and sweet. Should you buy the Black Eyed Peas' new album, The Beginning? Let me me put it this way: If you love auto-tune and the dramatic swing towards a blatant electro-pop sound Will.I.Am and The Black Eyed Peas seem to be heading, then by all means purchase the album. Just to give you a taste of what your in for, the first track off the album interpolates (I've Had The) Time of My Life from the movie Dirty Dancing and, in my opinion, heads downhill from there.

Will.I.Am has explained that he used to attend raves while he was in high school and that is why his music has gravitated towards a more technotronic sound but, at this point, it's hard to believe that Will.I.Am ever used to produce for Eazy-E's Ruthless Records. While the majority of the album seems to fall short in an attempt to seemingly reach a broader audience, the one shining spot on the album is track number eight: Don't Stop the Party, which is ironic seeing as it is the only track on the album that doesn't. Buy it if you must, but I recommend you pass over this album in favor of Deadmau5's 4x4=12 if you're looking for a good electronic music fix.

Kanye Steals the Show

Well the VMAs have come and gone and aside from Lady Gaga's meat dress, all the talk has been about the live performances. Though I really couldn't care less about Justin Beiber or Taylor Swift's performances as well as Eminem killing it as usual, the crowning moment had to be Kanye West's performance. Preceded by a montage of the Taylor Swift mike-jacking that occurred at last year's VMAs, Kanye premiered his new song, Runaway. Check it.

Bass Thumpin' Thursdays

Hey Hey Kids. Welcome to another edition of Bass Thumpin' Thursdays. I'm Veroncia Corningstone, Tits McGee is on Vacation. Today, Let's kick things off with a song by Marcel Woods titled Everything accompanied by an original video by Sensation White. Videos like this are the reason we created Bass Thumpin' Thursdays, so we can show exhibit them to the world.

Marcel Woods - Everything



Next up is the music video for Eminem's Love the Way You Lie featuring Rihanna. Shit. This video was posted literally one week ago on YouTube and has garnered over 30 million views. 30 million WTF?! Anyway, this may have something to do with Eminem being one of the biggest and best selling recording artists of the last decade or maybe the collaboration with Rihanna, whom people seem to be infatuated with. My bet is the decision to feature Megan Fox and Dominic Monaghan as an abusive couple probably nabbed a few million views from horny teenagers googling Megan Fox in hopes of finding some topless pics.

Thirdly, is Instamatic with a Kleptones Mad Groove (Instamatic video mashup). The 6th video from The Videotones is about television - an intentional theme running through nearing all the videos but here Instamatic takes The Kleptones 'Mad Groove' and merrily skips through 24 films, TV shows and music videos channel surfing as he goes, causing upset and destruction in his wake. Remember: don't watch the blipverts, or your eyes will go square. See if you can spot all the references.

Sources used include: Poltergeist, Requiem for a Dream, Steal This Film II, Stay Tuned, Network, Pleasantville, Truman Show, Filth and the Fury, Medium Cool, Max Headroom, Videodrome, They Live, Evidence by Godfrey Reggio, Daft Punk - Robot Rock, YMO - Live, Great Rock n' Roll Swindle, Zabriskie Point, Ringu, Times Square, Last Emperor, Koyaaniqatsi, Kraftwerk - Tour de France, Double 99 - Rip Groove video...

Last up is the music video for Ice Cube's new single, I Rep That West. Ice Cube has been in the rap game for over two fucking decades and though kids today may know him better for his acting roles than his lyrical talent they need to check themselves. Ice has brought us classic after classic so without further dick-riding, I bring you the new video for the new single, I Rep That West. Stay classy San Diego.
