Strictly hip hop news

(updated: the TV rip was replaced with RR’s version)

New Video: Wale’s new “Pretty Girls” video just debuted on 106 & Park, and now he’s fielding criticism on twitter. Why do you think? The girls look model-ish, but maybe not as flavorful as, say…in a Petey Pablo video. I’d say if anything, it’s a bit odd that there isn’t more girl in the clip overall. Especially given the title.

UPDATE: Perhaps in response, Wale posted his other new video “My Sweetie”….

I kinda like it…the song is like go-go samba, lol.
Moving on…Kid Cudi and Green Lantern put together a mixtape (featuring Cudi, Chromeo, Atrak’s Duck Sauce, and more) to coincide with this Sunday’s debut of Cudi’s HBO series “How To Make It In America.” (here’s the first episode)
