Cee-Lo takes a walk through no mans land in his new video. But it’s all goodie, the song and visual are cool. Run, run to the stores and pick up Lady Killer later this year.

Soulja Boy’s 20th Birthday Bash

Thursday, July 29 2010 1:13 PM EST | Posted by: B.Dot | Posted in: Blog, Party Life

Soulja Boy turned 20 years old yesterday and held his birthday party at Club Highland in Los Angeles. So now that he’s officially a grown ass man, please dead the “oh, he’s just a lil’ kid” defense for his puerile records. If you’re over 18, it’s time to start acting (and rhyming) like an adult.

On The Set: Kanye West “Power” (NY Times)

Thursday, July 29 2010 12:06 PM EST | Posted by: YN | Posted in: Blog, True Story

It’s deeper than catered food. Here’s a first look inside Kanye’s next video as the paper of record interviewed the man behind it, Marco Brambilla. Here’s a tease as we patiently wait.

In a coming video for his single “Power” that was created by the artist Marco Brambilla, Mr. West is seen standing imposingly with a heavy chain around his neck. As Mr. West raps the camera slowly zooms out in one continuous, unedited take to reveal him in a classical structure, surrounded by female attendants who are partly or entirely nude; some kneel before him on all fours, others wear devil horns and still others are suspended upside down from the ceiling. The Sword of Damocles hangs precariously over Mr. West’s head, and behind him an unseen executioner is preparing to strike him with a blade. (ArtsBeat was allowed to watch a portion of this video but was not permitted to post it.)

I also got the inside scoop on the upcoming remix and all I can say is, “Rumble young man rumble”. Shh!

This was bound to happen sooner or later. Rozay drives in the paint with one of the hardest beats out right now. He goes hard too. Pause. Rick and Lex Luger are a good combination.
