Video: African All Stars "Celebrons" (CAN 2012 Anthem)

so Gabon is co-hosting the soccer African Cup of Nations next month and the festivities started early with this official anthem of the competition. Shit like this make me miss my country. The actual artists are Patience Dabany (Gabon), Magic System (Ivory Coast), Maleya (Cameroon), Mikki Badboy (Nigeria) and Bill Clinton (no, not that one. Congo) Gabon won the under 23 soccer competition in Morocco just a few days ago, now all we need is the veterans to do the same. Let's GO!!!!!!!!!! Gabon D'abord

50 Cent Introduces "Street By 50" and "Sync by 50"

Since his licensing deal with Sleek Audio wasn't quite beneficial to him, Fif' went and built his own company from the ground up to takeover the headphones business. I must admit this wireless technology (4 people with individual headphones can listen to one source of music) is quite enticing giving some much needed competition to Beats By Dre (Monster)

Marc Thicot was summoned to direct this video, you may know Marc as the director/producer of the short documentary "The Rythm of My Life", starring Ismael Sankara and fellow Freshamn producers Mike Mef & Hokube. I'm really proud of these guys and their accomplishments, putting Gabon on the Hip Hop map. Can't wait for that Esso video Mike shot while networking in NYC. On est ensemble.

So Jim Jones & Llloyd Banks were in Gabon about 2 weeks ago for a concert they held. So now that Capo is back in the States he decided to unleash this freestyle he did over the "Niggas in Paris" beat. Of course he shouted out the Homeland so he gets major props for it.

Cole World, pulled out a catamaran to outdo the yacht in "Big Pimpin", I see what he did there, island girls and all. Love that joint by the way. Great sample, takes me back home to the Motherland.

Shieeet! even a curly-haired Rihanna makes a cameo in this.

Video: David Banner "Swag"



Hard beat though, there's even a message behind it.

Video: Frank Ocean "Thinking About You"



Complicated concept, i would've opted for a simpler video but hey what do I know, I'm just a music fan. Is this a trend where Frank is more like a narrator than an actor in his videos? Not inviting at all.
