Here’s what happens when he liked it but he didn’t put a ring on it… In the clip for Ciara’s second official single from Fantasy Ride, she’s suddenly swingin a lot more mane and gives homie the boot in pursuit of greener pastures, a message to women that it’s cool to wait, but not cool to wait forever. The first half of the video seems like more of Ci-ci’s self-realization that she’s still sexy and she’s still got it – it’s cool, we realize it too! After her slightly over-the-top last video, I’m enjoying the simplicity of this one, it says everything Ciara needs to say to prove that she’s still on the rise.

On a sidenote: Has Monica’s star-power been reduced to simple video cameo’s? Is it me or is that ALL she’s been doing lately since her single Still Standing tanked?

Green screen videos seem to be, once again, an increasing trend. I mean, for a minute there I thought T-Pain was gonna pop up outta nowhere! Anyway, I’m diggin this one a little more than the clip for Bust Your Windows but not by much. Visually, it’s vivid, but come on… what really does it say?!!? First of all, can we get my girl some better threads? Why does it look like her stylist is working on a really short leash?? Then the dress AND the leather jacket? Even Tyra makes the Top Models lose all that excess clothing at panel. And someone PLEASE kill that damn Exxon tiger!! This truly is one of my favorite songs by her. The song just says sooo much in such a creative and unique way but her videos continually disappoint me…

Album Review: Jazmine Sullivan – Fearless

I’m diggin’ this raw, yet creative clip put together by Raheem Devaughn for Four-Letter Word, a track off his sophomore album, Love Behind The Melody. This doesn’t look like an official video, but Raheem is the kind of artist that’s in touch with his fans enough to do something special like this, and we appreciate him for it. Fellas, this might be that joint to secure your spot for Valentine’s Day. If Cupid usually brings you a cold front, take your pick from Raheem’s variety of four-letter words featured in this clip. It might help you cuddle up with something warm this year… Pay special attention to the very end, and listen to the purity of Raheem’s voice sans the music. Now THAT’S what I call talent!!

Let’s cut to the chase: I don’t like Bow Wow, you know this! BUT, this song is better than some of his recent stuff. I’m not sayin’ it’s a hit, but it’s better

Maybe reconnecting with Jermaine Dupri is exactly what Bow Wow needed to get his game together. With that being said though, is anyone else questioning who wrote these lyrics?

Okay, so I had been hearin some talk about a dance called the Stanky Legg but I don’t really get down like that to be doin all these down south countryfolk dances. Still, I wanted to at least know what the hell it was. Alas, there’s a video, and I’m sure an instructional video for your granny is soon to follow. (How else you think she know how to do the Soulja Boy and put it on Youtube?) These bruthas are from Dallas, and they reppin the newest dance craze (I guess…) the Stanky Legg. Now, is it just me or do these dudes look reeeeaalllll suspect in the video? Especially on the SNAP? All I’mma say is this: I will be out partyin this weekend… anybody caught doin this dance will be shot on site! That includes you iknowTank!

Contrary to popular belief, kneeling down on one knee with a diamond ring in a velvet box does not make a person ready to get married. In recent years, divorce rates have skyrocketed and marriages have failed because many people were simply not ready to make the commitment. With Valentine’s Day coming up, some of you may be contemplating popping the big question, or maybe you already have and you’re having second thoughts. Here’s some musical inspiration to help you think things through and see the big picture, then ask yourself, are you ready to get married? (covered in the 1.28.09 Sound-Savvy Report on Mindstream Radio)

5. When it’s really love, it won’t be about the money, the flashy lifestyle or any amount of material wealth. You gotta know that if the bank runs low, your baby’s still gonna be there holdin you down. Marriage vows say for richer or for poorer. That’s why the #5 song is the new leaked track from Jay-Z, When The Money Goes from the forthcoming Blueprint 3 album.

4. Love is about doing things together, sharing the good times and makin it through the hard times. Regardless of what happens or what people say, marriage is about getting through it all together. On their debut album, the brothers of Day 26 asked the question, Are We In This Together?

3. How do you know you’re in love? When your every waking thought is of that special someone, that’s a sure sign that you’re in love. Some say it’s like a drug or a bad habit, Vivian Green calls it being a Fanatic, and that’s the #3 song.

2. How do you know you’re ready for love? When you’re not just expecting your partner to be there for you, but you’re also expecting to be right there for your partner. The #2 joint reminds us that it’s not just about taking support, it’s about giving support too. Some of the strongest words you can say to the one you love were brought to us by SWV: “love will be Right Here“.

1. Finally you’ve gotta know it’s love. Love is about accepting the good and the bad of the other person, overlooking the flaws for the beauty of the person inside. No amount of distance, or separation, and no dissension can tear apart the solid bond that love creates. No one puts that feeling into words better than Kelly Rowland with her song This Is Love from her sophomore album Ms. Kelly.
