Erykah Badu - Honey (video)

Erykah Badu produced an amazing video that is conceptually reminiscent of “Love of My Life (An Ode to Hip-Hop).” It’s a funky, fun music video with great production and a tribute to her favorite musical artists. Badu never fails to add a sprinkle of comedy throughout the video, and to my fellas - Ms. Badu is pure thickums looking amazing as ever during the Andre 3000 “Hey Ya” tribute portion of the video. What song is that during the tribute? It’s hot! and I’m sure it’ll be on Nu AmErykah vol. 1, scheduled to be released Feb. 26th. The video and the song are both amazing and it inspires me to go to a record store a la Love Jones style.

Mary J. Blige - Just Fine (Remix by Swizz Beats) (listen)/ Remix ft. Lil Wayne (listen)

Despite the remix being released a little late, Swizz Beats cooks up a CLUB BANGER with his remix to Mary’s Just Fine. The Chubb Rock - Treat Em Right sample is PERFECT over MJB’s vibe and singing. “Chubb Rock jumps up on the scene with a lean…” Damn, I need to hit the club up!

Lloyd - Devil in a Dress (ft. Ja Rule and Harry O) (listen)

Since Lloyd dropped the critically acclaimed “Street Love” last year, I have been curious to hear new music from him. While Lloyd is tagged as the main artist on this song, it sounds like a Ja Rule song with Lloyd as the supporting cast. Lloyd definitely steals the spotlight over mediocre production and Ja Rule’s Lil Wayne “Duffle Bag Boy” inspired hook. Ja Rule raps doesn’t leave an impression and Harry O (the self proclaimed Rookie of the Year) drops a yawner of a verse. This would have been much better if it were just a Lloyd song.

Update: N.E.R.D - Everybody Nose (Mixed) (listen)

We reviewed this, but this version is mixed with drums by Timbaland.

What do you think of the “Honey” video? Does it remind you of “Love of My Life”? Is MJB’s remix a club banger or is it a club banger? What do you think of the Lloyd and Ja Rule song? Post your review!
