Here at A.I.R we heart Kid Cudi, so we are bringing his latest video "Make Her Say" off his debut album Man On the Moon which is set to release August 25th. The video premired on MTV Hits today,and though it strays away from his first video "Day N Nite", it stays close to the abstract style that Cudi seems to bleed. The song seems to sample Lady Gaga's "Poker Face", but if you listen closely to the hook it says "I po-po-po-po poke her face" not "poker-face"; the video also features and cameos from Kanye West and Common all representing the G.O.O.D Music label! There are no bad reviews on our account, so without further ado, Kid Cudi ft. Kanye West and Common with "Make Her Say", check it out!

Check It Out: Video Review of LeToya Luckett- She Ain't Got
By: Alex Langston
,
Going with a 60's theme in her first video off her sophomore album Lady Love, LeToya's second single "She Ain't Got" is more of a 2009 club scene inspired video. It's definitely more amped up than previous singles she's released and bound to do well at parties and in clubs, and fortunately the video also gives off that vibe.
The Houston based singer hasn't really had as much success with singles or videos the way she did in 2006 with the single "Torn" off her self titled album, LeToya but "She Ain't Got" is sure to change all of that. So far the video has gotten mixed reviews, mostly because its much different from what she's known for. For starters she's dancing, and not those little two-step moves some singers are famous for (you know the shimming, and side to side action)but she's getting down with actual choreography. She didn't look stiff like many reviewers have said but she did look like she was a bit out of her comfort zone.
Her style is nonetheless chic in this video. The Chinese bang, the bun, the skin tight multi-colored leggings, and the metallic gold stiletto's-- which are to die for-- shows that she has good taste in style. Her lyrical style on this track is something to rave about as well. One line in particular that stands out is "I done let you out to play but you ain't playin' fair, you done let this lil' stray bring fleas 'round here", followed by, "swing batter, batter, batter...right at her batter, batter" which sounds like ol' Toya is fed up and wants to take more than just a "swing" at homegirl.
We're all hoping that this time around LeToya gets more recognition for her singing abilities and creative style, because in a time when people are kind of tired of Rihanna's edginess and Beyonce's huge "Ego" it's time to see another starlet shine, after all, she has stepped her game up.

Check It Out: Video Review of Drake- Best I Ever Had
By: Alex Langston
What can we say about Drake aka Aubrey Graham? Well for starters he's a great actor, he played Jimmy Brooks on the teen drama Degrassi: The Next Generation for close to eight years, he has undeniable sex appeal (and the cutest smile ever!), and now he's one of the most talked about unsigned rappers in the industry.
His latest single "Best I Ever Had" is all over the radio, in clubs, and on people's iPod's. And finally there's a video! The video was directed by Kanye West, whom we all know has impeccable style and not to mention his video's are always awesome and abstract, so it's only right to assume that his directoral skills are just as great...right?
The video looks a little low-budget and is lukewarm compared to the hot song. Nowadays most music videos do not follow the same concept or context as the lyrics to the song but this video is way out of the ballpark. It has a pep-rally feel with Drake as the Coach and an All-Star team of busty and vivacoius women as his basketball team. That figures. The women in the video are pretty but there are many shots of their breasts bouncing up and down in slow-motion with plenty of close ups. Enough! We know the women are hot and that they have breasts, big ones at that but really, as if the video wasn't already weak, throw in some DD's, cameos from singer Trey Songz, rapper Fabolous, unknown Young Money rap artists and you've got yourself a video that's going, well, no where.
Honestly, Kanye should definently keep his day job and get from behind the camera and step in front of it. For Drake, his rap career is still very promising even though this video wasn't. You what know they say, third times a charm, so better luck next time Drake.
