Here’s the new Yolande Geralds-directed video from Plies and Keri Hilson for “Medicine”, the second single from his upcoming album, Goon Affiliated, due in stores February 16.
Jay-Z covers the February issue of Interview, which includes a wide-ranging interview with noted film critic Elvis Mitchell on everything from influences, longevity in the industry, the price of fame and even the Kanye West-Taylor Swift VMA incident:
I just think the timing of what he did was wrong, and that, of course, overshadowed everything. He believed that “Single Ladies” [by Jay-Z’s wife, Beyoncé] was a better video. I believed that. I think a lot of people believed that. You can’t give someone Video of the Year if they don’t win Best Female Video. I thought Best Female Video was something you won on the way to Video of the Year. But, hey, I guess it wasn’t—and that’s a whole other conversation about awards shows and artists.
And then, back to the original point, his passion kicks in and he takes things too far . . . He doesn’t realize that that girl, Taylor Swift, is just like him. That was her moment. It wasn’t her fault. She didn’t do anything. It’s not her awards show. So he just did the wrong thing to the wrong person at the wrong time.

Rich Boy – Go Crazy (full) – listen / So Look Good (full) – listen
Zone 4 signee Rich Boy is working on his sophomore album, Buried Alive, which is set to drop later on this year. Here are two new tracks produced by Jim Jonsin for the upcoming project.
According to reports, legendary soul singer, Teddy Pendergrass passed away on Wednesday night in a Philadelphia hospital from a rare illness related to his paralysis condition at the age of 59.
The singer, known for his infamous “ladies-only” concerts — had hits such as “Turn Off The Lights”, “Come On Over To My Place” and “Close The Door”. He was paralyzed from the waist down by an auto accident back in 1982.
Although paralyzed, he still went on to perform at concerts and record new music until he officially retired from the music industry in 2006. He will be missed.
REST IN PEACE TO THE SOUL LEGEND!
