"Gym Class Heroes ft. The-Dream - Cookie Jar" (Video)

Here Is The Brand New Video From Gym Class Heroes For Their Current Single - Cookie Jar. Why Did This Video Take So Long To Come Around?

Although I initially liked this track for it's massive hook & catchy-ness, it got old extremely fast in my opinion. This song was released about 6 weeks ago, so the fact that the video is so late seems like very messy management to me.



Gym Class Heroes - Cookie Jar

The video for Cookie Jar is just as un-inspiring as the song itself, I am really disappointed with how this whole project has been handled, let's hope that they can bring their A-Game for their new album - The Quilt, which is due for release on September 9th.

"Cassie ft. The-Dream - Nobody But You"

Radio Killer! The-Dream Has Been Roped In To Help Out With Another New Song From Cassie. Nobody But You Is A Feature Of Her New, Untitled Album.


I'm about to say something terrifying so hold tight... I like Cassie's vocal contributions on this record, she isn't going to take down Whitney, but the light airy sounds ride the beat extremely well. The-Dream is radio perfection as ever, his production is his usual standard & his vocals are nothing new, but this is a good thing.

I'm sure this track will make the album when it it finally released, it is probably the best song I have heard from the project. I feel this is more an achievement of The-Dream rather than Cassie or Bad Boy, this guy is like the Gansta version of Ne-Yo, & I can't get enough.

*Shout Out To 'Mar Mar' For Hooking Me Up With This One

"LL Cool J ft. The-Dream - Baby" (Video)

Here Is The Official Video For LL Cool J's New Single - Baby, Which Is Hot Because It Features The-Dream.

Firstly, I have not lost my mind, I understand that: 1. LL Cool J is one of the most inept rappers out there. 2. This song has terrible lyrics & is only saved by the repetitive hook & catchy production.

Despite all of that, I can't help but love this record, The-Dream is some sort of Hip-Pop genius, he just cannot fail to make a great radio records & his own album was one of my favourites of 2007/2008.


LL Cool J - Baby

The video for the track is totally fit for purpose, it doesn't go anywhere or develope the song, but it's mindless 'move your feet' music, so it's perfect. On a random side note, one of my friends has The-Dream's white hoodie, it's a good look.

"Gym Class Heroes ft. The-Dream - Cookie Jar"

Hot Off the Relative Success Of Their Last Album, Gym Class Heroes Are Already Prepping The Release Of Their Next Project - The Quilt. Here Is the Lead Single, Featuring The-Dream, It Is Entitled - Cookie Jar.


The first thing that hit me was the distinctive production, it has that effortless addictive sound of The-Dream. While the lyrical content is empty as ever, it has Gym Class Heroes mark all over it, that R&B/Pop sound that I can't help but love.

I still can't help but to dislike Travis, he just annoys the hell out of me & I can't explain why, apart from the fact that he is one of the whack-est rappers out there at the moment. However, it doesn't put me off of a really good Pop song.

"LL Cool J ft. The-Dream - Baby"

Here Is The First Official Single From LL Cool J's 13th Studio Album, It Features The-Dream & Is A Nice Radio Track Called - Baby.


As some of you will know, there has been trouble at the top of Def-Jam lately, this has seen the demise of Jay Z as the figurehead of the company & has also resulted in many artists questioning their positions.

LL Cool J has decided to fulfil his Def Jam contract & get out, this usually spells a pretty crappy album, like Janet's '20 Y.O'. Still, the signs for LL's record seem pretty good, Baby is a very good track, it sounds reminisent of The-Dream's fantastic album - Love Hate. I'm really feeling it, even though I'm not the biggest LL fan.

LISTEN - LL Cool J ft. The-Dream - Baby

LL Cool J's aptly titled album - Exit 13, is due for release on August 5th.
For now, you can hit up his Myspace.

"The-Dream ft. Young Jeezy - I Love Your Girl" (Video)

Why Is The Man Not A Superstar By Now? The-Dream Continues The Single Releases From His Brilliant Début Album - Love Me All Summer / Hate Me All Winter (Love/Hate).

Here is the official video for I Love Your Girl, which is definitely not the hottest track from The 'American' Dream but is still hot, nice production & an added verse from Young Jeezy make for a wicked slow jam. Personally I'm still awaiting the release of the mad hot track - She Needs My Love.


The-Dream - I Love Your Girl

If you haven't yet grabbed The-Dream's album, do it, now! Excellent contemporary R&B tracks, with something added attitude & massively enjoyable. He remains my hot pick for 2008!
