Right Thru Me/Lovin' You No More

It's safe to say that rapper Nicki Minaj is slowly working her way into the hearts of many. She just released a video for her single "Check It Out" with Will.I.Am and has just premiered the official video for "Right Thru Me".

Her co-star in the video is French model Willy Monfret and he is all types of eyecandy. I personally enjoyed the video, and it made me appreciate the song even more. Her album, Pink Friday is due out in November 22nd and the video was directed by Diane Martel.

Next up, we have the official video for Diddy-Dirty Money's "Loving You No More" featuring Drake. Cool, modern, and contemporary are words that i would use to describe the video. I remember hearing this song last year when it was in its beginning stages and I love it even more now. Dawn is one talented lady with some major songwriting skills. After numerous push backs, the album, Last Train To Paris, is finally due in stores on December 14th!

Dawn - Dirty Money

Someone, somewhere must have read my mind. I was having a discussion with a friend of mine yesterday and we were echoing the sentiments of many that Dirty Money (Dawn and Kaleena) have seemed to become Diddy's back up dancers- A SHAME. I said that it was sad because both are extremely talented and it seemed to be unfitting to be behind the guy who is the best at sucking up everyone's energy and making himself the focal point (no way anyone can argue with this - check his resume). I was in thought of whether there would ever be a chance for Dawn to stand alone. The look is there, the vocals, but what is missing? Maybe the effort? With these pictures and interview in Ghubar Magazine, it is clear that she is creating a separate image for herself.

Dawn claims to be chic, and eclectic - which we can see - but aren't we all in our own way. What's going to be her distinction? Follow trends - she must not. Be a backup singer - she must let go of. It may pays the bills for now, but we appreciate her talent; even if it's drowned out by the "Yeah take that" of Diddy lol.

What do you think about Dawn, Kaleena & Diddy - Dirty Money?
