Here’s the first video for Common’s first single “Universal Mind Control” which features Pharrell Williams. This is off of his 8th studio album which was originally called Invincible Summer when the original release date was in the Summer, but has since been renamed to Universal Mind Control and is now scheduled to drop on November 11th. This video is directed by the renowned Hype Williams, but in all honesty I have to say this video has a very SUV commercial feel to it. I dunno, I keep expecting to see a Honda Element or a Ford Flex driving through a shot.
Coldplay has premiered the official music video for the single “Viva La Vida” from their new album Viva La Vida. The video is directed by very well known video director Hype Williams. Hype Williams has directed videos for Wu-Tang Clan, Mary J. Blige, The Notorious B.I.G and many other artists. In addition to releasing the official video for “Viva La Vida”, they also released the alternate version of the video, which can be seen after the jump.
New video for Lloyd’s single “Girls Around The World”. The song features some raps by Weezy aka Lil Wayne and is off of the upcoming album from Lloyd called Lessons in Love. Video directed by Hype Williams, if you don’t know who dude is then you need to hit wikipedia and get your learn on. Gotta say Lloyd with long straightened hair, kinda scary. Just puttin’ that shit out there. This song definitely has a feel and cross between Eric B & Rakim’s “Paid in Full” beat with 112’s “Dance With Me” melodies. Listen to Slim’s melodics on that 112 song and tell me Lloyd ain’t copying it. But yo this song is pretty hot so I gotta give it up.
