.:: Moments in MuSic :: Keri Hilson - "Knock You Down" ft. Kanye West & Ne-Yo

You know what... I can't lie yall. I can't watch this video too much.. and it's not because its a bad video or I dislike the song. No, its not that, its quite the opposite! I love the song, and if you don't know by now, i'm a avid Kanye & Ne-Yo fan. Both are crazy talented. But then, in comes Keri Hilson. *sigh* ..OK, check this out. I have this running list of top 5 females in Entertainment that I dig right.

..and I swear, Keri is starting to knock one of them into the #6 position!! Sure, I don't see Alicia Keys or Paula Patton being replaced anytime soon, but my other favorites Keyshia Cole, Beyonce & Ciara are on shaky ground! Well Ciara did do justice with her latest song & video with Jeezy, but um just sayin..
no one is safe!

..and Yea I said Beyonce!! Beyonce is a queen no doubt, but Keri has a nice street pretty flava about her that I dig. The same reason why Keyshia Cole is a top lister! ...except Keri is a lil' mo' prettier than Keyshia! LOL!! But hey, I'm not shallow like that folks, i love the talent, i love what they stand for -- and thats what make them in my top 5. Well, I don't know much about Paula Patton, but she showl is pretty and she does a fine job acting! right?? LOL!!

Anywho -- without further adieu, I'll like to introduce to you, the next chart topping song AND video.. my new girl, Keri Hilson in Knock You Down featuring my dudes Kanye & Ne-Yo!!

{{ and the crowd goes wild }}

.:: Moments in MuSic :: Jamie Foxx - Blame it >> Directed by Hype Williams

...For any of you music & video fans, you should already know that director HYPE WILLIAMS is a LEGEND in the music video game! Man, this is so CLASSIC Hype Williams I don't know even know what to say!

It reminds me of when Bad Boy had Hype do like all of their artist videos -- we're talking Notorious B.I.G, we're talking Total, we're talking Craig Mack, Ma$e -- all of them joints were rolling out back-to-back!

And this my friend is classic Hype Williams! The deep rich colors, slow motion, the angles!! MAN I LOVE THIS STUFF!! Creativity folks, Creativity!! LOVE IT!

OK, i get a little bit worked up over this level of talent and videography. But, since this IZZZZ suppose to be about the Jamie Foxx's song, lolol!! ..Now, I'll say when first heard this song, and I heard T-Pain's verse -- I already knew what this was... an absolute radio, club BANGER! ...so they took the certified BANGER and placed the vision in the hands of Hype Williams, so now you have instant Grammy material. I mean, freakin' Ron Howard is in the video man! ...freakin RON HOWARD maane!! *sigh* -- I hope yall feelin' me on this... well anyway -- here it is!

.:: BonuS Material :: KCentricity's "Reflection"

.:: Moments in MuSic :: Jazmine Sullivan - "In Love With Another Man" (Short Film)

My girl, whose LP I've YET to cop (or find online) *evil grin*, has another nice lil' joint out called "In Love With Another Man". The title alone makes you think of Chris Brownin' ya girl if she came with something like this! NEVERTHELESS, the creativity of the song, the video, all I love..

So check it out, its titled a 'Short Film', i suppose because its slightly longer than a typical video, plus with the storyline. Speaking of storylines, I'm glad there are no more "Trapped in the Closet" videos and songs!! Sweeew.. and where is Kells nowadays?? Anywho, I digress.. here's my girl Jazmine!

Michael Jackson announces Final Hoorah!

Michael Jackson announces his "FINAL CURTAIN CALL" -- he's last "HOORAH"! All i got to say is ABOUT TIME!! Look at this guy... if Michael hadn't had a thousand and two plastic surgeries, he would probably look more human-like. Of course the news media still brands him as "Jacko" (like Jackal), its not a compliment, i assure you.. its a mockery.

Over 50 Pimps Arrested & Over 45 Teenage Prostitutes Rescued.. (in FBI Sting)

I know that the problem in Atlanta is bad because i've been to restaurants and gas stations and have been approached by teenage girls looking to turn a trick. I didn't know at the time (years ago) that these girls are out there working for pimps. This is cold blooded.. (and not in a good way..)

-----------------------------------

The FBI has rescued more than 45 suspected teenage prostitutes, some as young as 13, in Atlanta and other cities in a nationwide sweep to remove kids from the illegal sex trade and punish their accused pimps.

Over a three-night initiative called Operation Cross Country, federal agents working with local law enforcement also arrested more than 50 alleged pimps, according to preliminary bureau data. The teenage prostitutes found in the investigation ranged in age from 13 to 17.

Historically, federal authorities rarely play a role in anti-prostitution crackdowns, but the FBI is becoming more involved as it tries to rescue children caught up in the business.

"The goal is to recover kids. We consider them the child victims of prostitution," said FBI Deputy Assistant Director Daniel Roberts.

"Unfortunately, the vast majority of these kids are what they term 'throwaway kids,' with no family support, no friends. They're kids that nobody wants, they're loners. Many are runaways," Roberts said.

Most of the children are put into the custody of local child protection agencies. Agents in cities from Miami to Atlanta to Anchorage, Alaska took part in the operation. Read more>>
