We posted the link for this song a while back, and finally here’s the video for The Roots’ first single off their upcoming album How I Got Over. It’s scheduled to be released on October 20th.

Here’s ANOTHER Marques Houston music video, and I aint mad at him because the album really aint bad. This song is actually one of my favorites and this video fits the theme. It also gives me a 90′s R&B feel, that works well with the song. LASTLY, his leading lady is for once not ethnically ambiguous! Hope you enjoy, “Case of You” off his new album Mr. Houston.

New video from Marques Houston off of his most recent album Mr.Houston for the song “How I Do“.

I’m actually not a fan of the video, BUT the album–which dropped today, on the other hand is surpisingly pretty decent. I recommend you take a listen..

Recognize: Tailored Jacket and Tote Bag. Pieces from the Billionaire Boys Club Fall/Winter 2009 Line.

Understand: Sometimes, even when you’re style is subtle and conservative, you need a print that really pops. Usually I’m not a fan of an outlandish print, especially on a classic staple of subtle refinement like the blazer, but this print offered by BBC does just enough to stand out, yet not so much to—well, do too much. Success.

Here is Diddy‘s cover on Vs. Magazine.

Dope.

But what is this I hear that Diddy will be leaving Bad Boy Records possibly abandoning his artists as the 2005 deal with Warner has expired? It’s been said that his next album (with the Dirty Money crew) Last Train to Paris will be released via Interscope. [source]

I know there are about 10,000 videos dedicated to the dance phenomenon that is Beyoncé Knowles‘s “Single Ladies” but this latest one is one of the best. Why? Because a baby is sincerely jamming to the tune (and has rhythm lol). Check it out.

Recognize: Mario Net Top with Connected Leggings

Understand: Not only is the concept of a top with connecting leggings admirable, but I love the fact that the leggings are open to mulitple uses—peep the title. Most notably a scarf, the extra on this getup is never, well, extra.

And Jay-Z’s thoughts on the Lil Mama incident?

“…and to be honest I was angry, but what I’m going to do? Fight Lil Mama?”

Haha.

Melanie Fiona is a talented girl. She’s gorgeous too and that can never hurt. Her debut album The Bridge drops November 3rd (I’ve gotten my hands on it and it’s a winner). Here is the video for her newest single “It Kills Me” which is a very strong ballad with a slight 60′s feel.

I kind of dig this chick.
