"Anytime Anyplace" was one of the many hits from Janet's 1993 self-titled album. The album just turned 23 this month. The video was just as steamy as the song if not more. Enjoy this video for "Flashback Friday" and enjoy your Holiday weekend!

"Dammn Baby" is the second video release from Janet's album, "Unbreakable" which was released back in October. With the news that Janet is expecting her first baby, what better way to celebrate than to release the song that collects everyone's initial thoughts, when they found out Janet was pregnant, "Dammn Baby". "Dammn Baby" is one of my favorite songs on "Unbreakable" so I am glad to see it get the single treatment. The song gets shipped to radio on May 17.

Trina is back with the video to her single, "Real One" featuring Rico Love. Trina premiered the single last night on VH1's "Love & Hip Hop Atlanta" After Party show. She also revealed that her new album will be available in December. Dang! Why so far away though? It had also been revealed that Rico Love(producer: Usher - "Love In This Club") was executive producing the album which Trina confirmed. Being that I know Rico Love for his R&B production, is it safe to say that Trina's new album will be R&B-themed? I guess we shall wait and see.

Faith Evans unveils her new video for her single "Make Love" featuring KeKe Wyatt. "Make Love" appears on Faith's album "Incomparable" which was released last year. If you haven't checked it out yet, you should. It's really good!

I really don't post a lot of videos but seeing that so many people are talking about this song and video, I figure if you haven't seen it you should. Two days ago Lil' Mama premiered the video to her new single, "Sausage". My friend had tagged me showing me a brief clip and I noted that it looked promising. But now seeing the entire visual, I can say its a good video and the song is not bad. The video has been getting a lot of traction on the Internet. In the video Lil' Mama pays homage to a variety of artists including Slick Rick, Missy Elliott,TLC, and Madonna. Check it out!

Do any of you remember Chuckii Booker? He has a few R&B hits under his belt from the late 80s and early 90s. His debut single and video for "Turned Away" went to #1 on the R&B charts and #42 on the Pop charts. I was familiar with this song before but I hadn't heard it in years until the beginning of this year when I was listening to iTunes radio. Anyway enjoy tonight's Flashback Friday video from 1989 when I was just five years old. :) Goodnight! 

HAPPY EASTER to those who celebrate the holiday today!Yesterday there was obviously a lot going on and while I was seeing it, I wasn't blogging about it until now. "Die With You" is the latest video and single from Beyonce. The song was released as a dedication to her husband Jay Z(who makes a cameo at the end) as the couple are celebrating their 7th year anniversary. The video is very poignant and sweet and I'm sure if this song were released via iTunes, it would be a huge hit. What do you think about the new Beyonce(excuse the accent mark until I figure out how to do it on this laptop) song and video? Yay or nay? Oh and if you were wondering where this video is from, its from the new streaming service TIDAL, which offers exclusive content you can't find anywhere else but you know stuff like that always happens to find itself released outside of those boundaries.

In an effort to provide more of a visual experience for you, I'm posting this video and because its also a favorite song of mine right now. Some of the things Rich Homie Quan says particularly in this song is hilarious especially the line where he says "her hair short like Dennis Rodman". I also like the little dance he does. Call me crazy! Enjoy!

Azealia Banks unveils the video to her latest opus, "Ice Princess". The video features Azealia paying homage to Medusa and "I Robot". Check out the icy clip!

Azealia Banks teams up with GypjaQ for the video to their single "Blown Away". The song was leaked out last year and is finally getting the video treatment and I'm happy because it was definitely one of my favorite songs from last year. Enjoy!

Jodeci is back with their new single and video for "Every Moment". It is from their upcoming album "The Past, The Present, The Future" via Epic Records. The group surprised everyone when they reunited at last years Soul Train Awards. So check out the video and let me know what you think!

Do you all remember Jane Child? She released her single "Don't Wanna Fall In Love" in 1989 on the Warner Bros. record label. I remember the video in heavy rotation on MTV and VH1. Jane had a distinctive voice as well as style. Check out the video which was shot in New York.

7/11 is the newest single and video from Beyoncé and its featured on the re-release of her double platinum album Beyoncé will be available on November 25. What do you think of the video? I think its genius. Beyoncé is definitely an innovator. No its not a groundbreaking video but its different and Beyoncé is having a lot of fun in it as we can see. I can truly admire an artist who goes left when everyone else goes right.

Tiara Thomas pays homage to the movie Set It Off in the clip for her new single and video One Night . In the clip Tiara and her friends rob a bank all the while Tiara has a thing for the bank manager. Check it out!

I really don't post a lot of music videos only because there aren't really any that are interesting to me. That's not to say that this video for Mila J's single My Main is interesting but I just wanted to see if it were interesting. To be honest its not and the song is mediocre. The song features Ty Dolla $ign and was originally set to feature Iggy Azalea but for some unknown reason that didn't happen.

Better late than never. I say that because I'm not sure how long this video has been out but I'm just now seeing it and I like it. It's the debut solo single from Tameka Tiny Harris that has everyone talking. The song is currently #1 on the iTunes R&B charts which is a really big deal. Check out the video!

Jennifer Hudson walks it out in the clip to her new video which is taking off on radio. Walk It Out appears on JHud's new album which will feature production from R. Kelly and Pharrell.

First Love is the new single and video from J-Lo's new album A.K.A. due June 17.

Sex On The Ceiling is the latest visual from Sevyn's debut EP Call Me Crazy But...available on iTunes now.

SmartPhones is the new single and video from Trey Songz. It will appear on his new album Trigga due July 1(which is shown in the video) as well. July 1 is still awhile from now but still video which also serves as a mini movie can tie fans over until the album's release.
