So…none of these videos are that new, but since I didn’t post them earlier, they’re new to the site lol. Anyways…first up is Nelly’s video for “Wadsyaname”. I just have to ask, is Nelly even trying anymore? Did Nelly have us fooled all those years with catchy tunes like “EI, EI” and “Hot In Here” that he was a legitimate rapper? I don’t understand how he fell off so much. So the song isn’t THAT bad, but for a former rap superstar I just expect more. The problem with him is that his style hasn’t changed to reflect the current trends and he is making music that sounds so 7 years ago. The video is kinda low budget…the dancing is pretty corny, and I’m just disappointed in ol’ Nelly. We’ll see if he can bounce back and really hit us with another smash hit…his Hip Hop Honors performance gave me hope that there is a good rapper hiding somewhere in there.

Another video is never got around to posting is the new joint by Fergie “Clumsy”. One thing I gotta give Fergie credit for is consistently coming with something creative and original for her videos. There is always something going on in this video to keep your attention…I like. I probably wouldn’t have liked this song initially if I heard it on the radio…but the video makes me like it a lot. This one is a winner.

A new snippet from Alicia Keys’ album hit the net for her song “Like You’ll Never See Me Again”. Due to the poor quality of the sample…it’s a little hard to get a totally accurate picture of the song…but overall I kinda like it. I love that she is doing different things with her vocal range this time around and I’m glad she doesn’t off the track screaming this time around. The lyrics are great too…but it’s going to take me a while to warm up to it completely. I’m still on the fence about AK’s new stuff, since I haven’t been blown away yet. Click here to listen

What do you think about these semi-new videos? Are you feeling Alicia Keys’ song? Do you like the direction she seems to be taking with her new material? How did Nelly fall off so bad?
