Justin Timberlake - Suit & Tie feat Jay-Z (Official Video)

Word on the street is Jay-Z and Justin Timberlake may be going on tour together.  Until this is confirmed, this new Suit & Tie video will have to hold us over.

JT and JZ, eh? Hmmmmm (scratches chin).

Rihanna - Stay Feat Mikky Ekko (Official Video)

I could be wrong, but I think we have all wanted some to stay at one point or another.

Work Hard. Play Hard. Live.

T.I. - Love This Life (Official Video)

Its the King...

T.I. is back with his first video from the Trouble Man forth coming LP.  I personally like this song and think the video is a great compliment to a great track.  


This video also reminds me that if you really want the best things, work harder to go get them.  Plain and simple.  


In retrospect, sometimes people get caught up with the green pastures in the other yard and want what they think are "better" things, but the truth is they should always appreciate, value and cherish their own life first while working towards their goal.


My Dad always says, value what you have.  In the journey to find better, you may find the life you already had was what you always wanted anyway.

Big Sean, Pusha T, 2 Chainz and Kanye West - Mercy (Official Video)

Most rappers taste level ain't at my waist level...

DJ Khaled - Take It To The Head feat Chris Brown, Rick Ross, Nicki Minaj & Lil Wayne

Finally, one of my favorite songs this year has dropped the visuals to go along with the track.  DJ Khaled's Take It To The Head features Chris Brown, Rick Ross, Nicki Minaj and Lil Wayne.  

If you pay close attention, you may realize that the video is set in a VERY familiar place.  My first thought was, "Um, I've been there before." 

Nicki Minaj - Right By My Side Feat Chris Brown (Official Video)

Today Nicki Minaj released the visuals for Right By My Side featuring Chris Brown in which Nas plays the leading man in the story-line.

I actually like this song which happens to be one of my favorites on her latest album. I definitely prefer Nicki singing more so than Roman's crazy, deranged high-pitched rapping.

Calvin Harris - Let's Go Feat Ne-Yo (Official Video)

Calvin Harris just keeps dropping bombs.  This time is no different with his latest visuals for Let's Go featuring Ne-Yo.

This song comes just in time for summer to give you a reason to get up, get out and do something.  Whenever you need motivation to do something, let Calvin Harris and Ne-Yo take you where you need to go.  Its now or never.

Rihanna - Where Have You Been (Official Video)

#Finally, all Dance Crews can unite.

Rocawear Features Jay-Z in Commercial for The 1st Time

Rocawear ad features Jay-Z for the 1st Time.

Although the founder has been featured in several print ads, Jay-Z has never been featured in a Rocawear television commercial.

I find this interesting because in business and in art, you always have to find ways to reinvent yourself to remain relevant to the times.  Maybe Jay knew to stay away in order to make it a big deal if he eventually did.  Who Knows.

Through the times, Jay-Z has remained relevant through his obvious success more so than just Jay-Z the rapper but as Jay-Z the brand.  I guess he really is not just a business man, but a Business, man!

You KNOW I had to do it...

Bonus: Jay-Z - Coming Of Age feat Mempis Bleek (Rocawear Commercial Background Music)

Wale - Ambition feat. Meek Mill & Rick Ross (Official Video)

It seems Wale wants to keep the streets laced with heat by dropping his latest visuals for the album title track Ambition featuring Meek Mills and Rick Ross.

I always liked this track off of the album, so any time I see an artist actually drop a video for any one of my favorite songs is always a plus.

Anyway, much love to @missinfo and @Rickyrozay for headsup about the new video dropping today.

Young Jeezy - Leave You Alone Feat. Ne-Yo (Official Video)

New visuals for Young Jeezy's Leave You Alone recently hit the scene.  This is actually one of my favorite tracks from Jeezy's latest album TM103.  Leave You Alone features Ne-Yo and is produced by West Coast Legend, Warren G.

Apparently, there is nothing more exciting or dangerous than a secret, forbidden love.  In the video, Young Jeezy finds love on the wrong side of town which turns into a mini movie, but the song is hot so its worth it.

Rihanna - You Da One (Official Video)

In the spirit of  "keeping it moving", and reveling in the essence of grinding, Rihanna might be the modern day Bad Girl taking notes from Diddy.  Rihanna can't stop and won't stop making hits for the people. 

Fresh off a successful album, Rihanna is not stopping the momentum.  Talk That Talk, Rihanna's 6th studio album, continues on right where Loud left off.

To be honest, I am wondering if she can stop.  A lot of times when an artist takes a trip on the success train, the ride becomes addictive.  

For the fans, I'm hoping that she continues on with her addiction to reigning on top, and seeing as I'm sure all of Rihanna's navy would love to be sprinkled with a little RiRi dust, it seems that would be a good thing for everyone.

The visuals that recently dropped for her latest video You Da One sets RiRi in black and white with blonde hair, a top hat and cane similar to that of a Charlie Chaplin, Vaudeville silent film. Seems like it would be fun on that set.

Anyway, as always enjoy and leave your thoughts.

Drake - The Motto ft. Lil Wayne & Tyga (Official Video)

Drake ~ The Motto Featuring Lil Wayne & Tyga (Official Video) from OctobersVeryOwn on Vimeo.

Yesterday with much delight, the visuals for Drake's hit song The Motto dropped to the masses.

Drake, Lil Wayne And Tyga flew to the YAY Areaaaa to film Drake's latest single from his platinum selling sophomore album Take Care in ode to Mac Dre and The Bay Area Sound.

This heavily influenced NorCal beat produced by T-Minus instantly makes you move your feet into the hyphy movement while doing the thizz face along with all things Bay Area.

Speaking of Bay Area influence, if you look closely, you can see Lil Wayne ghost riding his whip.

Truthfully, I am big on credibility so of course I love the fact that Drake actually went to film in San Francisco.  I also respect that he has Mac Dre's Mom and Bay Area legendary rapper E-40 signing off on their stamp of approval of the video/track via cameo.

Anyway, check out the video and leave your thoughts.  I'm gonna watch the video again just to feel the energy and start jerkin' like I still have dreads. I know...

50 Cent - Wait Until Tonight (Official Video)

For a long time I felt that "blogging", like everything else, had become a commercialized mainstream entity of people trying to write to make a quick buck.

When I think of blogging in today's world, I think of an entity commoditizing on the next big thing instead of the simplicity of a writer writing about an appreciation for something that he/she finds value in, no matter what the value is.

The truth is, I stopped updating Stopsellingdreams.com because I didn't and still don't want to compete with other sites for the same 8 fluff stories in order to make a dollar.

I definitely don't want to base my website traffic and revenue off of Kim Kardashian's life which is what most blogs seem to do.

So now, what I'm gonna do is Blog what The HELL I want to no matter what the popular masses ask for.

I feel like this is a perfect time to revive www.StopSellingDreams.com.

And speaking of come backs, it seems 50 Cent has come back with a new banger, so the correlation has made me think StopSellingDreams.com can also bounce back.

With that said, 50 Cent has not been relevant for some time, but he is still a force and is still Ferrari Filthy Rich 50!  Of course when one builds a successful brand, one can always come back as long as that person has the passion, perseverance and desire as well as the courage to stick to what made that person become successful.

Although this new cut is nothing new seeing as everyone including K-Ci from Jodeci and even Ja Rule have previously sampled Bobby Womack's If You Think Youre Lonely Now, "Ferrari's" new twist (Nothing is new under the sun) on this old jam is just that 2012 flavor that 50 needs.

I'm digging this song, and apparently the masses do too which has lead Fif to create visuals for his track "Wait Until Tonight" from his latest "the Big 10" Mixtape.

Check it out, leave your thoughts! Oh and yes...just like 50, Stopsellingdreams.com is BACK!

Rio - I'm So Fresh feat E-40 & Tommy Redding (Official Video)

Ivan S. Harris Photography shot the Behind the scenes photos a while back and now Vevo.com has officially released the video.

Rio - I'm So Fresh Feat E-40 & Tommy Redding.

It's time to work!

Drake - Marvin's Room (Official Video)

So it seems people have mixed reviews about this video, but I actually think it goes with the song. You be the judge.

Kelly Rowland - Motivation feat Lil Wayne (Official Video)

Regardless of what type of work needs to be done, I think we all need motivation at times, and its always even better to get motivation from a sexy, sultry songstress like Kelly Rowland. It doesn't hurt to add some help from the lyrical talents of Weezy F. Baby either.

This song Motivation can be taken a few ways, but I will leave the lyrical artistic interpretation up to the imagination. The end result is we should continuously be stimulated...I mean MOTIVATED to go get whatever it is we want to obtain in life.

I will leave the rest of the commentary for you all.

After viewing Kelly Rowland in this video, I'm suddenly motivated...to grab a TALL glass of cold water to drink, its kind of hot in here.

Mary J. Blige - Someone To Love Me (Naked) feat Diddy & Lil Wayne (Official Video)

It's always a great feeling to get love from your peers, friends and family on all levels, I mean love is great right? Of course its great to get love from people that you don't know as well. Being admired from afar or close up is an excellent feeling to partake in.

At the end of the day when all the cheers and praise from random sources are long gone and you are alone with your thoughts, its even better to have someone to love you during this particular soul searching moment.

The truth is, everyone really wants and needs someone to love them for being the idividual they are and not just because of the accomplishments, social status, or what you may mean to the world on a superficial level but just being the pure individual inside.

To be honest, it's rare to find someone that loves you and your dirty laundry and its almost impossible to find someone that will love you flaws and all. That's why its important to realize these precious gems and cherish them.

On Looking For Someone To Love Me, Mary J. Blige proclaims that she has made mistkes and knows when the person that truly loves her comes along she won't have to ask because the LOVE will be sincere.

To all the people looking for love, don't settle and don't chase, because the real love will already be there waiting for YOU, before you wake up looking for it. and if the LOVE is not waiting for you first then its not real love.

I'll tell you what, I love "me" either way so I'm I.$.H.-Diddy Bopping all over the city if the DJ's play this song.

Lil Wayne - Six Foot, Seven Foot Feat Cory Gunz (Official Video)

To put it simple, Lil Wayne is on the drug called Charlie Sheen and is winning, period.

After signing Drake and Nicki Minaj, the two hottest talents in rap right now, F. Baby may be the next Dr. Dre of the game (finding talent, and breaking in SUPERSTARS).

In 2008, I think by continuously delaying The Carter 3 for a few years before finally dropping a Weezy F hydro-bomb for the people, Weezy basically grabbed the public's ears and never let go.

And to top off all of the other street buzz, Lil Wayne gets back to what got him to the top which is the music.

Mr. Carter has finally dropped the video for one of the hottest songs in the country right now, Six Foot Seven Foot featuring Cory Gunz (Son of Peter Gunz).

The Video takes a Matrix/Inception approach, and seeing as how the lyrics in this song are very cunning it makes perfect sense to use the reference. Are you paying attention, or looking at the fly honey's in the Red Dress!?

Anyway, check the visuals for Six Foot Seven Foot.

S/O to Xclusives Zone for the video.
