Videos of the Week February 6th

In a week dominated by historically awesome late night spots, it was a challenge trying to fit actual music into videos of the week. Let me take that back actually, Will Smith and Jimmy Fallon were every bit as musical as Rihanna and Kanye. The only difference was Big Willy and Fallon were using an iPad beatbox app and RiRi and Yeezy were relying on Paul McCartney for the beat.

While Fallon gets most of the late night love, Kimmel's celebrities reading mean tweets about themselves is about as entertaining as it gets. Between Childish Gambino, Ariana Grande and Psy, it was really tough finding a favorite among the hilarity. In an effort to inject some musical quality to the post, Sam Smith came through at the right time with visuals for one of my favorites of his, Lay Me Down. Last, but certainly not least, the Saved by the Bell reunion was a slight of nostalgia that anyone born in the 1980s thoroughly appreciated. It is crazy how well all of them look exactly the same twenty years later...well...minus Mr. Belding...#SavedByTheBell

"I Think I've Had Enough, I Might Get a Little Drunk"

Well...if you're looking for a break the internet type of single, the new mega-collaboration below is armed with the appropriate amount of star power. As a quick side note, the phrase "break the internet" needs to be put to rest. Sure, we all like to over-exaggerate to make eyebrows raise, but no nude photo or leaked song is ever going to do anything but slow down traffic on the internet the same way a car accident on a major bridge would. It's jumped the shark, let's let it rest in peace, please. Thank you.

Anyways, back to the music. As it turns out, FourFiveSeconds ended up being an acoustic duet between Rihanna and Kanye for all intents and purposes. I'm betting Sir Paul did his fair share of leg work behind the scenes, but you're going to be let down if you're expecting any vocals from the Beatle. It has to win some sort of award for being the most mellow song about wildin' out of all time. I'm willing to bet that since Rihanna did all of the hyping, this will end up on a future album of hers. Whatever the case, the internet is damn sure enamored with the song's arrival and I found it to be interesting as a result of it's restrained tone...#FourFiveSeconds

Emotional Kanye & Paul McCartney Duet for Nori West

Well then, how about we kick 2015 off with a bang? It's as if Kanye wanted to be on the front page of 2015 when everyone woke up from their New Years hang over. I know Kanye catches a lot of flack for being a terrible person, but nobody can take away how talented he is. When he puts his mind to it and pours his emotions into his music, he's capable of great things.

On his new single, Only One, he takes a tone similar to Hey Mama. Instead of a tribute to his mother, this time he sent one out is to his one and a half year old daughter Nori West. With a bit of help from Sir Paul McCartney and some auto tune, he penned a deeply personal ballad that will resonate with any dad who has a daughter. Kudos for Kanye starting the year off on the right foot. As you listen, feel free and read along with the lyrics below...#OnlyOne
