VIDEO: THE DREAM – “ROCKIN’ THAT THANG”
Singer/songwriter, The Dream finally drops the first video from his sophomore album, Love vs. Money. The clip was directed by Ray Kay, who has been responsible for some of the beautiful imagery from a lot of videos over the past few years.
Shot in Los Angeles, the video isn’t really all that interesting, but is a visual treat. Originally thought to have a cameo from Christina Milian, “Rockin’ That Thang” only includes appearances from The Dream’s girl group, Electrik Red.

During one of the Republican debates in Florida, Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney agreed that the only way they'd support the DREAM Act is to take out the educational component. Coincidentally, the day after the candidates introduced the idea of a ...
its ok, not a big fan of the song
ehh it’s cool.
nice to see him back.
the tracks that leaked haven’t really done anything for me.
but in relation to the video.. it’s alright. i like the lighting, more than the actual video.
I just realized that the Dream can’t really sing…
Good Song
Typical Video
Why does he look wayy better than he usually does without the glasses? he needs to keep the glasses off….
It is a ok song, the video is alright not feeling it right now
Dream’s songs are catchy but they lack depth.
Sheee rockin that thing!!!!! That’s the jam, although video wasn’t anything spectacular… but solid none the less. lolz
AHHHH!!!! This song grew on me! Major! I agree the concept lacks in the orginality deparatment but makes up for it in the execution. I love all of Ray Kay’s videos for the way he shoots colors, and his attention to the details in the shot.
yeah, this isn’t the type of song I’d sit around in my house and listen to, but I definitely don’t mind it in the clubs!
Honestly this song was on repeat for about 2 weeks straight when I first heard it. I can’t wait to hear what other songs he is going to put out this year.
i like this song…. it’s ok i guess…
SONG…WACK
Video….HOT…but what happened to the rest of the girl’s name in the group????
And I thought that song w/Mariah was his 1st single….who knows.
After watching it again I didn’t think that the Dream looked like that…I don’t know if thats a good or bad thing yet. And I like the unedited remix version of the song better
O LOVVVVVVVVVVVE DIS SONG!!!!!
VIDEO IZ HOT E.R. ARE SUM FYNE GURLS & C.MILI
O YEAH I LIKE DA GURL ON SKATES LMAO!!!
The song is on constant rotation on my IPOD.
all i can say is….got milk?
Effin love this song. Yeah, #4, he looks better w/o the glasses.
hott!
OK….. i lovvvvvvvvvvvve dis song it reminds me of shorty is a 10 but anyway thats pretty hot… im a big fan of the dream.
he’s actually quite easy on d eyez!
Whooo!!! I’m so excited to watch the video finally and this is my song.I didn’t care if Cristina was going to be in the video or not.She doing her thing and The-Dream continues to do his thing.Keep giving us hot music and I’m lovin’ it!!!
a mess!
Is it me or does all his songs sound alike or have the same beat??? I’m jus sayin.
I think it is hot. Great song and hot video. They didn’t need to go to some big fancy location to shoot this song, everything here works just fine. Now what is ludacris is those TPain videos, it is just TOO much going on.
I LOVE IT….
IS IT JUST ME OR DOES ANYONE ELSE FIND THE DREAM VERY SEXY. HE MAKES ME HORNY
PEOPLE REALLY MAKES ME SICK WITH THIS “LACK ORIGINAL BULL”
i MEAN COME ONE ITS A MUSIC VIDEO, NOT A MOVIE. AND THIS IS WHAT MUSIC VIDEOS SUPPOSE TO LOOK LIKE. i LOVE IT, THIS IS F.I.R.E
that chic in the hot pink top and the short hair is Jammin!! Lol
I wonder if she is in the group. In the beginning there are 5 dancers but at the end only 4 girls
all his songs do sort of sound alike but i like them nonetheless.
his last album “love hate” was great and if this is this is the direction that his new album is going in, which is evident from the mariah song and all the other leaked songs i ‘ve heard, then i know it’s going to be fire.
as far as the video is concerned it’s ok, i’d watch it again just to be able to hear the song.
LOL at ME!!
AROUND THE 1:35-1:40 MARK, I WAS ABOUT TO SAY “JORDIN, YOUR DADDY GONNA BEAT YOU!” LOL
SHORTY LOOK LIKE JORDIN SPARKS A LIL BIT

I LovED Everything About it. Dream is one of the true TaLEnts out of ATL… none of that head bussa ish… smh. I LIKE THIS. LOVE THE VIDEO AND THE EFFECTS i love u dream!!!!! and concreteloop!!!
But forreal i agree THE ADS GOT TO GO.
@ 6
I agree, a lot of artist that come out of the ATL lack depth… I have family there, don’t jump me…. But Soujah boy, c’mon…
I love Dream he is really sexy and has always been to me for some unknown reason
but his music is good and i like the video
This dude is so WACK WACK WACK its unbelievable! Where the heck is music taking us people? Huh? Huh? Huh?
This dude look like he was wack as hell in high school. One of them worrisome dudes who always tried to use his voice to get a girl but was hella lame. Looking like Yogi Bear and ish. Nothing has changed boo boo! You just got a break, which was a raw deal on our parts!
PLUS IM TIRED OF THIS SNAP MUSIC OR EH EH. THAT ISH IS WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK.
Bring back:
- Toni Braxton
- Dru Hill (Yes I said it!)
- Missy Elliot (for her hooks)
- Throwback Usher
- Sade
- Throwback Mary J
- 112
I go to youtube everyday and listen to that fye 90s music.
@ #6
You are right. I can only think of two or three truly talented artists from ATL. My fav of all time is OUTKAST. Hands down. (I heart Andre 3000)
Ok Im done! Got insomnia but have to rise in three hours for work. When will the slavery end and I get to live off the fat of the land? lol
#25 we’re on the same page lol…i thought i was the only one who thought the-dream is sexy
But the Dream can’t song one bit what the hell was that he is like a copy cat, like he is copying (TRYING TO SOUND LIKE J. HOLIDAY)
AS I WAS SAYING IN THE SONG ONE PART HE TRY TO SOUND LIKE J.HOLIDAY ANOTHER R.KELLY AND ANOTHER T-PAIN WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THIS MAN HE NEEDS TO GO HAVE A 9 TO 5 JOB BECAUSE SINGING IS NOT HIS LINE AT ALL HE IS A COPY CAT AS FOR AS I CAN SEE WANTS TO SOUND LIKE EVER ARTIST A TRUE ARTIST AND SINGER GET THERE OWN SOUND. I SEE THE REASON FOR HIM TO CALL HIS SELF DREAM BECAUSE HE DREAM TOO DAMN MUCH SOUNDING LIKE OTHER ARTIST U CRACKING ME UP HE SOUNDS WORST THAN RIHANNA THAT PEOPLE KEEP HITTING ON ABOUT HER VOICE I KNOW WHATS UP THOU A TRUE SHE A CARIBBEAN THATS THE REASON WHY PEOPLE HATE ON HER SO MUCH BUT GUESS WHAT SHE BETTER THAN THIS PERSON THEM CALL DREAM BY A MILE HATERS DREAM CANT SING
OMG! I LOVE IT!!!!!
ehhh…. i love da song, but the vid is kinda boring. it looks like Justin Timberlake’s “rock your body” wit all them damn showtime lights.
@ 35 UR A HATER. THE DREAM COULD GET IT, HE IS SEXY…AND I DNT EVEN LIKE BIG BOYS.
smOOOOOOth like silk. nice voice. nice song. Lyrics are so so. A voice like that deserve some great songs. So much love to my beautiful black brothers. This is the year of the spotlight on black success. Black men do your thing, but do it right.
Where is the video???
This video did absolutely nothing for me. Those girls in the video werre mediocre…hoola hoops, roller skates, “rocking what thing”?
LIKE THIS SONG, EVEN THOUGH IT DOES SOUND LIKE A SLOWER VERSION OF “SHAWTY IS A 10″ .LOL
I love the song and the video was hot!
Does anyone think that the girl on 1: 35 looks like a slimmer Jordin Sparks, or am I blind as hell?
I love the song but the video is a typical Dream video – boring but the female visual makes it kinda worth while watching.
Must admit didnt like this song when i first heard it but seeing the video has changed my mind..liking it now! He needs to add a little umph to his songs tho
awful song, awful video just awful. he’s like neyo, i think they write great songs for other people but as artist i just don’t feel them. and he could stand to lose a lot of weight, pretty soon he’ll be like jazze pha, would is a walking health hazard in my opinion. women get criticized all the time, so men should get equal treatment
I love the song, but I REALLY expected more from the video than this =/
the video isn’t really all that interesting, but is a visual treat.
I looove The Dream!!! Everything he touches is straight fire! I still be rockin that first album, and I can’t wait for this one. The video is oooh sooo sexy!
#35 Shut the heck up!!!! Go find a job or something.
I thought the video was dope. The song is dope. The-Dream is dope. The lighting and color is whats supposed to stand out in the video, so take it as it is. Can’t wait to hear the album tho, cuz I know its gonna be dat crack
Reminds me of the Jackson’s “Can You Feel It” video lmao
love the song and the video was good for a performance video
This video looks like some shit by Lisa Frank!
I like Lisa Frank – good job Dream
