Jennifer Lopez And Iggy Azalea Jiggle Their Bottoms In "Booty"

Posted by Kevin Z. Rong Saturday, September 20, 2014 0 comments

Jennifer Lopez's celebration of the backside has arrived. The steamy video for the painfully repetitive song "Booty (Remix)," featuring a verse and bonus booty from Iggy Azalea delivers exactly what the song promises. It's definitely about butts in case you were confused, and shows off two of the best backsides in music as Lopez and Azalea, women who have butts, sing about them and go back-to-back and shake their assets. The wait for big booty is over and we have reached booty exhaustion.
The rump shaking ode' originally appeared on Lopez's "A.K.A." album earlier this year and was written by Chris Brown and Diplo and it features Lopez's fellow Hispanic pop star and frequent collaborator Pitbull. Lopez has always been known for her curves, but was initially shy about recording this floor filler that celebrates her infamous backside. She explained the song's meaning on Hot 97's The Angie Martinez Show: "It's about owning everything about you and who you are and embracing that." The bouncy tune finds Lopez poking fun at her celebrated rear.
This latest remix adds Azalea's ample talent to an already butt-shaking song, which finds the Australian rapper shouting out one of Lopez's old hits. "The last time the world seen a booty this good was on 'Jenny From The Block,'" she spits. "I want to tell all my ladies to get up on the floor and shake it, shake it!" Pitbull's verse was completely replaced by Azalea's on this new version.
The Hype Williams-directed music video is exactly what it was advertised to be by the teaser as the two divas dance together in black-and-white bathing suits with slicked back wet hair while colliding their backsides with one another. The butt slapping begins in earnest followed by nearly four minutes of gyrating hips and ample booty shaking. These ladies are proud of what they've got but aren't afraid to appreciate another woman's physique either. In the final scene, the 45-year-old debuts her alter-ego "Roxy," who shakes her glorious backside in hyper speed while dressed fishnet stockings. Watch below and learn how to pay it proper to the almighty derrière.

Iggy Azalea And Rita Ora Play Sexy Samurais In "Black Widow"

Posted by Kevin Z. Rong Friday, August 15, 2014 0 comments

Don't cross Iggy Azalea or Rita Ora. The two blonde ladies teamed up, gearing up to get the wheels in motion and portray sexy samurais in the 'Kill Bill'-inspired music video for "Black Widow," the latest single from the Aussie rap sensation's debut studio album, "The New Classic." The hate and revenge is echoed in the cinematic new clip features female assassins, pays homage to '70s kung-fu flicks and it's pretty killer.
"Black Widow," was co-written by Katy Perry, boasts a hook sung by British singer Ora, and its lyrics chronicle subjects of revenge and feminism in a failed romantic relationship. "It has a little bit of a 'Dark Horse' vibe," Azalea commented. "The beat is a bit grimy... catchy, but it's very hip-hop-y. It's not a pop-driven record, and Rita really sings on it." Azalea explained the song's meaning: "It's kind of about being so enamored with somebody that you're so obsessed with them that you just hate their guts and just want to kill them," she said. "To me they love it and then they crush it."
Directed by Director X, the visual starts off with an opening skit where we see Azalea working as a waitress at a diner, who takes the order of Ora's character and her obnoxious male companion, played by "Kill Bill" actor Michael Madsen. It seems to get on Azalea's nerves. she begins to dream up ways she and her blonde sidekick would work together to take him down. From there on, it's an all-out action sequence, as Azalea enters samurai training, while Ora wins a hand of poker against T.I. and "Goodfellas" actor Paul Sorvino, who make quick cameos.
Influenced by a beloved film, the girls reunite and get their "Kill Bill" steez on at the end of the video, which is heavily inspired by the Quentin Tarantino's "Kill Bill," as both music stars rocking one-piece leather suits, and using samurai swords fighting off a group of men with their impressive sword skills and ultimately having the black widow venomous spider take down Madsen with their stunning swordplay. Ora's cleavage at the poker table scene is pretty intense. Watch the video now and don’t forget to see the girls perform the song together live at the 2014 MTV Video Music Awards next Sunday.

T.I. and Iggy Azalea Lounge In Brazil For “No Mediocre"

Posted by Kevin Z. Rong Sunday, June 22, 2014 1 comments

It's soccer time! T.I. sure doesn't waste any time to debuted the stylish music video for "No Mediocre," featuring Iggy Azalea, only one day after releasing the single itself as he also wanted the Brazilian-themed video to premiere in the midst of the World Cup. The rappers new collaboration is far from mediocre. The Atlanta rapper enlisted his Australian protégée for his DJ Mustard-produced single "No Mediocre," the second cut off of his upcoming ninth album "Paperwork: The Motion Picture," which is due out in September.
The banger has T.I. rapping about his disdain for "mediocre" women, and praising "bad bitches" who do their hair and have a "pretty face." Breakout star Azalea joins the single, rhyming, "Want a billboard bitch stop running in place/ Heels on me saying gimme six inches of space/ Courtside while designer frames cover my face/ Now everybody in the game wanna get 'em a taste." T.I. references Brazil in the lyrics to "No Mediocre," and decided to shoot the song's accompanying video in the country. The X-directed clip shows the "Live Your Life" performer surrounded by a bevy of exotic beauties bump and grind for his approval before Azalea enters the shot, rapping and twerking.
T.I. lets us know right away that he's interested in "bad bitches only," thank you very much. That's probably why Featured Bombshell is introduced in the first shots. The King begins his day in the Tavares Bastos favela and makes his way through the village, playing a quick game of soccer before heading to his casa, where some sexy mamacitas await him. As he dances down the back alleys of Rio de Janeiro in his black tee and cargo pants, he mingles with some more Brazilian beauties while rapping about his quest to find a woman who meets his high physical standards.
He meets up with his 24-year-old "Fancy" protégée, who first appears strutting around favelas like she owns the place, which she pretty much does in this Alejandra Huerta-styled outfit, and hypnotizes the fellas as she dances alongside T.I. at an outdoor party. Luckily, Azalea swoops in with her usual confident bad-assery, and adds at least one not wholly irredeemable verse to the song. While not exactly easing up on the impossible physical standards set by the media for women, Azalea at least tells T.I. to actually put a little work into achieving his wants and "stop running in place," if he's going to have such an intricate list of demands. Take it to Rio with Hustle Gang.

After hyping us up with several Instagram photos from the set, Ariana Grande has finally rolls out the swinging '60s mod-styled music video for her chart-slaying hit single "Problem" featuring Iggy Azalea. The Max Martin-produced song is the lead single from the pop sensation's upcoming sophomore album, is due in August. The 20-year-old Broadway leading lady and breakout music star is growing up fast and exceeding our expectations at every turn! The funky visual proves that she's the full package - she's got the moves, the style and of course, the voice!
The boisterous song finds Grande singing about her insecurities about renewing a relationship with a former boyfriend whom she knows isn't good for her. "'Problem' truly represents the feeling of being absolutely terrified to re-approach a relationship that's gone sour, but you want to more than anything," she explained to Billboard magazine. Grande added that the song is based on her still-evolving relationship with an actual ex: "In the song, it ends on a sappy, negative note, but in [real] life, we're hoping it's going to end on a positive one," she said. "I feel like it's all very honest and human."
The songstress looks like she traveled back in time with Azalea and Big Sean to the 1960s. Keeping with the mod black-and-white color scheme (with a touch of pink) and those thigh-high go-go boots she's been rocking as of late, Grande sheds her sweet, teeny-bopper persona for a sexier, more mature vibe and takes us on a psychedelic journey. In what reminds us of a '60s variety show set, the pop princess struts her stuff in a short black sequined dress with a head-topping ponytail as she belts out her hit song and busts out her go-go girl moves in front of her back-up dancers, who break down some pretty impressive moves.
With its Vespas and costume design, this new monochromatic retro clip feels more like a Topshop catalog put to motion. After singing on a motorcycle, and standing on a spinning wheel getting her air on with a slave fanning a feather, Grande meets up with Azalea, sporting her best Brigitte Bardot hair, as she raps her verse with her mesmerizing rhymes and sexy all-black turtleneck outfit. Sean then joining them to whisper the song's hook "I got one less problem without you" over the Thrift Shopped horns. Click below for contortionists, sequins, and a whole sax-load of swirly '60s graphics.

Iggy Azalea and Charli XCX pay homage to 'Clueless' for "Fancy"

Posted by Kevin Z. Rong Wednesday, March 5, 2014 0 comments

Nearly 20 years after "Clueless" hit theaters, Iggy Azalea pays homage and brings a new attitude to the 1995 cult classic in the throwback video for "Fancy," co-starring British alt-pop songbird Charli XCX with the bragging on the rowdy hook. The Aussie rap queen rules the halls of Beverly Hills High School as socialite Cher Horowitz (Alicia Silverstone) in the X-directed clip. The blonde bombshell went back into the memory vaults and filmed at the same high school where "Clueless" was shot, inviting 250 fans to be a part of the video.
Azalea rocked a '90s wardrobe straight out of Cher's designer closet and even shut down the freeway while recreating one scene. This is the best thing ever! We are just so behind this, we can't even tell you. Naturally, Azalea is our Cher and she brought Charli XCX along with her to sing the chorus and stand in for Tai. Not only do we get the opening debate scene, but snippets of tennis practice, the party, and the hallway cell-phone strut. Azalea and co. even went through the trouble of recreating the freeway scene, complete with swerving Mac trucks. That's dedication and it works like gangbusters.
This bouncy hip-pop song itself, is all about the high-flash, high-glam, high-cost lifestyle, finds Azalea letting the world know why she's the hottest female rapper in the game over a stripped back production driven by a retro-induced synth. The song was premiered on Mistajam's BBC Radio 1Xtra show on February 6 and released as the fourth single from Azalea’s long-awaited solo debut, "The New Classic," is due out on April 15 featuring collaborations with T.I., Mavado, Watch the Duck, and Katy Perry, who co-wrote her next single. The Aussie rapper makes a case for why she's "The New Classic."
The clip is basically a throwback to that absolute '90s teen blockbuster 'Clueless,' and takes us all the way back to 1995, when Alicia Silverstone was just a valley girl with a heart of gold. But Azalea, isn't some ditzy blonde, instead she's making it clear she's a girl with some expensive taste, and exudes confident sex appeal, flipping her golden locks relentlessly and shaking it in her pleated skirt. But all Azalea really wants is to solidify her fancy status. The fun, high school party scene takes the video to a whole new level, thanks to some red cups, cute choreo and classic teenage debauchery. It's clear that Azalea is working harder than ever and making a play to become Queen Bee of female MCs.

Iggy Azalea is the ultimate showgirl in "Change Your Life"

Posted by Kevin Z. Rong Friday, September 13, 2013 1 comments

Following her booming Bollywood outing in "Bounce," Iggy Azalea heads to Sin City, turns it up a few notches and is quirky charisma on full display in the stylish, sleek and very sexy cinematic video for her catchy new single, "Change Your Life," which features a guest appearance from her mentor T.I., and served as the second American and third international single taken from the 23-year-old Aussie rapper-model's forthcoming debut album, "The New Classic," which is expected to be released worldwide later this fall.
"The New Classic" is a record that's been long in the making and is a culmination of Azalea's hard to work and perseverance to take it from small-town Australia to the top of the global rap charts via Miami, Atlanta, Los Angeles and London. Always straight up and to the point, the lyrics of "Change Your Life" express some of the experiences that drive her passion and ambition. "I'm a new classic/upgrade your status," she raps. "From a standby to frequent flyer." Azalea admitted that "Change Your Life" is one of the most poppiest moments on the album (alongside "Bounce"). She even decided to sing for the first time on "Change Your Life" to give the track some extra shine and sizzle.
The rising star continues to display her penchant for provocative imagery. Inspired by the 1995's critically-panned Paul Verhoeven-directed cult classic movie "Showgirls," the video has all the makings of a movie and shows Azalea sassing up the scene with a non-stop parade of sexy looks and spitfire rhymes that perfectly amplify her unique brand of hip hop. The visuals opens up with Azalea in her Nevada back-yard bungalow, entered the fray with the blonde bombshell models several glamorous looks and exposes her breasts in the provocative garment as she lies on a springboard over a pool, beauty rest with a baby tiger and T.I. neglecting only a tie. She is later seen playing a hard night Vegas dancer surrounded by a bevy of platinum-wigged dancers, while T.I. acts as the club owner. After some passionate love making on the hood of his vintage Mercedes, she ends up taking his money and torching the vehicle before being dragged off in handcuffs. Viva Las Vegas!

Iggy Azalea soaks up the culture, channels Bollywood in "Bounce"

Posted by Kevin Z. Rong Thursday, May 16, 2013 0 comments

From Australia to India. Iggy Azalea goes global in the Bollywood-themed energetic video for her electro-pop party song, "Bounce," the second European single from the model-turned-rapper's upcoming debut album, "The New Classic", due later this summer. The Aussie rapstress adds her own little twist to some of the traditional dance rituals and partakes in a few local festivities and soaks up the culture in the colorful clip. Taking her talents down to India, Azalea adds her own little twist to some of the traditional dance rituals and partakes in a few local festivities.
Azalea's new banger "Bounce," bounces right into cultural appropriation territory. Instead of her simmering hip-hop tracks, Azalea gets a bit dance-y, with big breakdowns and super fast rapping, demonstrating she's aiming not just for rap fans, but for the late-night crowd, too. Azalea may very well have a smash on her hands with this, and she pairs the fiery raps for which she gained popularity with a club-friendly house beat that's the most commercial thing we've heard from her to date. If you didn't want to bounce before, you'll be dying to bounce right out of your seat after you see her new video!
The video shoot was a dream come true for the 22-year-old, who recently inked a deal with Island Def Jam. While being interviewed about the video shoot, Azalea called the experience one of the highlights of her career. "Shooting 'Bounce' in India was surreal, it's just so crazy to dream something so big and actually see it happen." She continued, "We just took this elephant and thugged it down the street, and it was insane." Azalea hopes the video will inspire others. "I think record labels need to reinvest in doing stuff like that," She continued. "It helps create the fantasy and the bigness of an artist. This video definitely perpetuates escapism."
Set in Mumbai, India, the BRTHR-directed Bollywood-esque piece video's vibrant visuals bring the already bright and colorful tune to life in ways only she can, complete with traditional Indian saris and elephants! Azalea reinterprets traditional dance routines and brought her fiercest Bollywood moves to show us all what she's working with as Azalea spitfire rides an IRL elephant and bounces her way down the busy streets of India through this party-perfect upbeat bouncy swagger. Not the one to shy away from provocative imagery, the clip shows Azalea cavorting amidst a festival of colors with interludes of psychedelic imagery throughout.

Iggy Azalea raps about putting in that 'Work' to get what you want

Posted by Kevin Z. Rong Saturday, March 16, 2013 0 comments

We're still waiting for Australian rap sensation Iggy Azalea to issue her debut LP, but the rhymer is starting the press cycle for the platter, tentatively titled "The New Classic," with a video for her autobiographical debut single, "Work" that's definitely impressive. Azalea has been on the come-up for a while now, and she consistently delivers captivating lyrics, ribcage-crushing beats and raps slicker than an oil spill.
The song is a little house-heavy, covers that same uplifting narrative built on resilience, as far as the beat is concerned, but with a closer listen, the ears reveal Azalea's story of how she running away from home at 16, moving from rural Australia to Miami, and finally, Hollywood as she pursues her dreams of becoming a rapper. The track starts off smooth and ballady, with Azalea running through lines about her background as she makes her way through a stretch of desert highway, but the song soon drops into club-minded claps and screeching synths by the time she surrounds herself.
For the video, the 22-year-old rapstress didn't hesitate in pulling ideas from various sources, drew inspiration, and combines influences from Australian musical, Tarantino film and OutKast's "Bombs Over Baghdad" clip, as she tells MTV News that "I really liked this film as a kid and always identified with it because it's [about] drag queens and they have to keep stopping in small rural towns and they're not accepted." The video shows quite a journey as one of the most enduring stories in hip hop and show off she truly knows how to work, work, work that body until she gets what she wants.
Just another day in the life, Azalea details her rags to almost-riches story in Jonas & François-directed clip which features the Aussie rhymer, who has swapped out the bustier and hot pants for skinny red jeans and a nude glittery crop top, turns heads as she makes her way from a tiny desert town Louboutins, where she rides a bike through a trailer park, and flicks her ponytail while tweaking in front of a truck stop, all leading up to a significantly sultry lap dance to another male before stealing his car keys, driving off into the sunset with her girls and leaving everything behind for the big city.
