New Video: Timbaland ft Justin Timberlake 'Carry Out'

Timbo-lake are at it again with their new banger off the Shock Value 2 album, 'Carry Out'. Not much of a banger but compared to that Katy Perry trash he made us listen to, I think everyone would rather listen to this wouldn't they? It's got the same sorta 'jam-in-the-studio-might-aswell-release-it' vibe but it's cool. I'm very tired and still feel kinda ill so I'm gonna move on to the....

Pros:

1. The beat...especially when he drops the drums near the end
2. Justin Timberlake in the white suit, bow tie and trilby hat was v.nice....almost as suave as T.I. :D haha
3. Cupcakes [they DO appear in the video...it wasn't a random request]

Cons:

1. Timbaland letting his [near enough] identical brother, Sebastien, be in a Timbo video [again]. It's too confusing!....Or does Timbo want us to mistake him for his skinnier brother...hmmm....either way it annoys me! Just tell the dude to go eat a donut or something.
2. The whole Kanye/Hype Williams 'Goldigga' 50's pin-up girl thing is playyyyed OUT
3. Talking 'bout played out.....what the HECK is Justin wearing at the start of the vid???? WHITE trucker hat with a WHITE jacket......and the jacket has that terrible 90's zip up collar :'( ....why....WHYYYYYY......rockin' that WASHED UP Russian popstar look aint doin you no favours at all bruv
4. Justin's trucker hat, again....it's just too painful.
5. THOSE headphones that in every damn video popping up
6. Justin didn't dance, instead he followed suit and did those silly Timbo face spasms
7. Is this all we get Timbo? Where you hiding them FIYAH tracks like 'Bounce'....this is ridiculous

[Hahaha...I love how I always sound like I hate everything I write about when I am actually nodding my head to the beat as I type...but I really can't find any other Pros!]

*Kara* really wants to know ......WHAT IS THE POINT OF VEVO!?!??!

New Music Video: T.I. ft. Justin Timberlake 'Dead & Gone'

I'm sure everyone saw T.I.'s Grammy performance of 'Dead & Gone' and thought, 'Damn! He performed like it was his last show ever...he even switched up the Rap Pack look and came out Hood and Proper (lol) with a beanie hat tilted T.I.P-style.' For those who don't know the story behind the song, taking it 'back to the hood' was his way of stripping all things Hollywood to deliver his message with sincerity to those plastic Grammy heads. 'Dead & Gone' is a poignant tribute to his childhood friend and former personal assistant, Philant Johnson. Unfortunately, Johnson was shot after one of T.I.'s concerts in 2006 and as I have read in many interviews over the years, T.I. constantly brings it up and blames himself for his death. .

With T.I's current circumstances surrounding his prison sentence, he has taken a more reflective attitude in his music. This new outlook is clearly expressed in 'Dead & Gone', which, unlike his previous videos, is much darker, visually and symbollically.

Good Points: The opening scripture and bleak cinematography - is this how T.I. sees his future in pen?

Bad Points: I dunno why but whenever I see Justin Timberlake on the screen he breaks the flow of sincerity.

The piano set alight - hollow and cliched.....the car set alight in the 'Crazy in Love' video did more for me....lol..
