New Flava: Rihanna x Where Have You Been Video Review

My first pre judgement before watching this video was ” Oh lord another subliminal message video from Miss Bad gal Ri Ri”. But to be honest I really enjoyed this video. The music video for “Where Have You Been” was filmed March 7 and March 8, 2012 in Los Angeles, California and was directed by Dave Meyers. Everybody knows Dave Meyers does dope videos, he’s been in the this field since I was 9.I liked the fact that the choreography looked fun and easy to learn. I applaud Rihanna for at least trying some choreography in her video other than her usual “dutty wine” and I think she looked amazing doing it. Also I loved the different visuals such as the African and the dark vivid scene. For all my fashionistas make sure you check out the inspiring fashion from her hair to her eyebrows which are very detailed. The song might actually take a little time to grow on me though because I actually enjoy “Reggae Ri Ri over Techno Ri Ri”. But I guess it’s safe to say that this is another successful hot dance Rihanna record with an even hotter video…

Vintage Flava: NWA x Tiffani-Amber Thiessen from Save By The Bell

For the ladies, I love this look of Tiffani aka Kelly off of one of my favorite tv shows, Save The Bell. Suspenders with a short bustier or a bandeau bra is definitely a fly look. Wear a pair of boyfriend jeans for a casual look or you could dress this up with a pair of harem pants.

Ain’t nothin realer than NWA back in 1987. Gold ropes, black & white plain shirts, and black snapbacks= the classic flava of the california gangstas. fellas try this look with a kings or raiders snapback..

Hope this inspired you, Enjoy!

Full of Flavor or Tasteless?: Iggy Azalea

The streets been buzzin since female rapper Iggy Azalea released her first free mixtape, “Ignorant Art”, saying she made it “with the intent to make people question and redefine old ideals” . But is it her music or her voluptous curves for a white australian girl?

Iggy Azalea was born in Mullumbimby, New South Wales, Australia and moved to Miami, Florida, USA right before she turned 16 years old to pursue her music career.She started rapping at the age of 14 but was obsessed with rap from age 11 when she heard “Baby Don’t Cry”. She also regularly mentions her early influence by Tupac in her interviews, “I was sickly obsessed. I had every picture of Tupac ever printed on my wall”. Azalea also draws and paints as an hobby. She also mentions Andre 3000, Kanye West, Gwen Stefani and Grace Kelly as some of her inspirations.

She is currently working with rapper YG on another mixtape entitled “1990″. Azalea has also mentioned on Twitter that she will be starting her first tour in the beginning of the year of 2012.

Azalea revealed in December that she will be releasing her debut album, “The New Classic”, in the first quarter of 2012. (http://iggyazaleaworld.com/iggy-azalea/biography/)

I’m not so sure what her purpose is yet but i’m pretty sure she is coming for Kreyshawn’s neck. This girl does have hella star appeal though, definetly a good look for fellas to drool on. Even if you don’t really feel her lyrical ability she definetly brought the heat with her beats on her current mixtape and I actually enjoyed some of the samples she used. But is she really full with flava? One thing is for certain though, you will be seeing more of her.
