Diddy's former assistant (and some time stylist) O'Neal McKnight just dropped the visual for his latest single, "Crazy," which was produced by Junior Sanchez. The music video was directed by Sarah McColgan with promotional support from Ciroc.
It features cameos from Andre Harrell (McKnight's cousin), comedian J.B. Smooth and DJ Cassidy. Watch below.
Ciroc provides some backing for Wale's "That Way" featuring Jeremih and Rick Ross. The song is off of Maybach Music Group's "Self Made Vol. 1" album. Watch the music video below.
Bad Boy Records has an incredible library of music videos in their history, including some of the more memorable clips of the mid to late 1990s.
But, they have been exceptionally slow in getting these videos online, on YouTube, VEVO or elsewhere, leaving often lower quality clips posted on unofficial channels, or a limited number of clips available on sites like MTV.com, as the only way for fans to relive those moments. Beyond simply not offering fans a high quality experience, this slowness has also led to lost revenue - money left on the table.
In dealing with the company over the 5 and a half years I've run Bad Boy Blog, I have come to understand the somewhat shortsighted nature of some of the people at the top. For those individuals, it's about the here and now. The current album they are promoting and the artists they want (you) to talk about right now. As a fan, that has given a substantial amount of money to Bad Boy, this is frustrating.
However, it appears that they are finally ready to open up - at least on the music videos - and they are starting with The Notorious B.I.G., launching the NotoriousBIG YouTube channel with most of the rapper's videos (only "Sky's the Limit," "Dead Wrong" and "Notorious B.I.G. (Remix)" and appear to be missing).
Bad Boy has launched an official Twitter profile for The Notorious B.I.G., located on the service at @NotoriousBIG. You can expect to find quoted lyrics and stories mentioning the late rapper.
Last weekend, Benzino released "Caezar," a new mixtape with appearances from Waka Flocka Flame, Ray J, Lloyd, Stevie J. and more. The set also features production from Mario Winans. You can download it at DatPiff and listen below.
