Nicki Minaj’s BET.com Video Blog Entry #1 from Andreas Hale on Vimeo.

Bet.com is putting together a series of blogs from artists, first up is Nicki Minaj.
You will find performance footage and a backstage look at the Harajuku Barbie advocate.
If your confused (as I was) she explains the “Step ya cookies up” mantra she mentions in EVERY interview she does.
I just fear over exposure of this chick right now. I’ve seen a bunch of interviews with her already but haven’t listened to one of her songs! I guess her music just doesn’t appeal to me *shrugs*

I haven’t paid much attention to Freshman, Ace Hood. But this song encourages me to look into his music a bit more. I like the whole feel of this song, something positive but it has listenability. You know how sometimes artists go for the positive song and come off corny or preachy, but this is inspirational. Jazmine Sullivan was the perfect singer for this song. Her husky, soulful voice was the right platform for the words she sang. All in all I’m feeling the song and the video, it really didn’t need Rick Ross though…just sayin’

While swag surfing on youtube, I stumbled across this video titled, Top Notch B*tches. Apparently this lovely young lady had to let it be clear that a top notch b… doesn’t dance in panties and put it on youtube. That’s for the medium notch b*tches and below. Big shouts out to her girl Reeces Cup who couldn’t be in the video because she was out being a top notch b*tch. If you want to see her grind to Pretty Ricky’s Tipsy pop the hood.

Complex catches up with Lupe Fiasco to talk about his clothing line.
I don’t know about y’all but I love Lupe’s music. I would rather hear him talk about a new album then some clothes *sigh* but it’s nice to see him passionate about art and life.

D-Block talks new album “No Security”, the state of Hip-hop, the Internet, and more.

JookTV – “Charles, Follow me down the rabbit hole” from Jacques Morel on Vimeo.

My homie from Jacquesmorel.com sent me over this vid and below you’ll find what he said:

Hey whats up guys!

If you do not know, I am Jacques from JacquesMorel.com. I decided to make a little lighthearted video on what I thought about the Charles Hamilton situation. I take from the Matrix when I explain to Charles his options. No beef is intended! Just having some fun!
