Videos of the Week October 16th

There were a few live performances that stood out in this week's top five. The first two having to do with The Weeknd's visit to SNL. He's been one act that has alluded me in a live setting, so seeing him on SNL was pretty cool. I'm really digging both of his remixes for The Hills and seeing Nicki's dramatic performance was icing on the cake.

In other live performances, Pharrell got everyone and their mom singing along with his performance of Freedom on the Ellen Show, which was cool to see. The mystical ZHU also released some shocking new visuals for Automatic. I won't spoil the plot, but let's just say, I definitely did not see it ending the way it did. And last, but definitely not least, the fake Barack Obama spoof of Trump using Drake's Back to Back beat delivered a nice climax to an eventful week of videos. Much love to the authentic Barack delivery and on point lyrics...#BacktoBack

"We Waiting on a Savior, Maybe Barack"

Four years later, @YoungJeezy is at it again, putting a Hip Hop stamp on another election win for Barack Obama. This time the message is a little different, focusing more on hope rather than a polarizing and uplifting statement like "My president is black!" You could see this coming too with President Obama shouting out Jeezy back in April saying, "In my first term I sang Al Green. In my second term, I'm going with Young Jeezy."

Feel free and check out the newly minted visuals below...

If I were president, I'm not sure if Jeezy would be the wagon I'd want to hitch my Hip Hop fandom to, but the sheer fact he's making an attempt to immerse himself in Hip Hop is good enough for me. Word has it this is going to end up on a new mixtape, but as a stand alone single, it'll still make some noise...#WeDoneItAgain
