Lady Gaga recruited fashion photog Steven Klein to make his music video directorial debut on her latest effort, “Alejandro.” I’m not so sure that was a smart move on her part. The video is terribly…

Video: Statik Selektah (w/ Bun B, Wale, Colin Munroe) – So Close So Far
Aside from Jake One, Statik Selektah is hip-hop’s ultimate matchmaker. I’m guessing he makes certain tracks with people in mind and then calls them up to do the feature.

I turned to a friend and said, “There’s no way he’s dropping the same single twice.” I was wrong. He decided to go ahead and shoot a video for “Back That Thing Up,” cementing the argument that he has nothing to offer beyond booty bop.

Mayweather vs. Pacquiao Will Happen
Mayweather vs Pacquiao will happen…hopefully before these guys turn 40. All great fights take time to materialize. Ali-Frazier was delayed for a while. And so was Leonard-Hearns.
