First Look: Beyonce and Lady Gaga Star in Video Phone
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Collaborations, Music Videos, Pop, R&B / Soul,
It should go without saying that any music video involving Lady Gaga will probably be…unusual. But who expected this from Beyoncé?
The minute you see the Reservoir Dogs-style open, you know “Video Phone” will be a wild ride. (It is directed by Hype Williams after all.) Men with cameras as heads? Sasha Fierce armed with futuristic outfits, a Bettie page haircut…and guns? Gaga looking…normal?
I can only imagine what other projects these two ladies have collaborated on. Well, actually - I probably can’t.

Jay-Z May Collaborate with Oasis’ Liam Gallagher
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Collaborations, Hip-Hop & Rap, Rock,
Jay-Z has urged Liam Gallagher to call him about a collaboration after learning hip-hop star Snoop Dogg wants to work with Liam’s brother Noel.
Noel recently quit Oasis following a series of rows with his brother. He also clashed with Jay-Z last year after criticizing the decision to have the rapper headline the Glastonbury music festival.
“I hear Snoop Dogg might be teaming up with Noel. If that’s the case then I would love to work with Liam,” Jay-Z said. “Their music is tight and I think we could blend our styles well. When I teamed up with Linkin Park nobody expected that to work but we made a massive success of it. The same could happen with Liam. When you have two artists like us in a room just throwing about ideas you come up with something brilliant fairly easily. I don’t know what he is up to now but he can give me a call.”

Pharrell Williams Inspiring Kids with Anger
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Collaborations, Gossip, Hip-Hop & Rap,
Pharrell Williams and Jay-Z made an “angry” record so young people would relate to it.
The duo collaborated on “So Ambitious” and the 36-year-old Neptunes star said they deliberately give the track - which is about adults who attempt to curb younger people’s dreams - a “spiteful” edge so that it would have more appeal.
“We wanted to make a record that speaks to kids. There’s a couple of lewd words there, but I wanted to make sure that kids heard this record and felt inspired,” Williams said. “That’s why there’s a little bit of anger to it. There’s anger in his verses, there’s anger in my chorus. That’s why I say spiteful things at the top of the record. There’s anger there, because there’s heat. Because you’re young and people are telling you what you can and can’t do. Unacceptable.”
Pharrell and 39-year-old Jay-Z - real name Shawn Carter - have previously collaborated on several occasions, but “So Ambitious” was the first time they had not worked in the same place.
