Check it: Missy’s new video for “Ching-A-Ling/Shake Your Pom Pom” is finished and you can watch it here in 2D or 3D. It sounds like “Shake Your Pom Pom” is on the same riddim as Eve’s “Tambourine”.

3D version – Missy Elliott – “Ching-A-Ling/Shake Your Pom Pom”:

If you watch the video with 3D glasses (the red and blue kind) the video online works okay, but I bet it really pops if you watch it on the tele! Especially that kid doing the wave into the camera – right into your face! I love 3D effects and I say the best way to beat piracy is to offer something people can’t get at home. That’s why I go to IMAX movies – especially 3D IMAX movies – instead of watching them at home. The movie industry and the music industry could take advantage of the fact that 3D doesn’t upload well. Missy Elliott is always taking her game to the next level. Everything she does sets trends and I would love to see the industry follow her latest move.

Ever wonder what everyone else is listening to? Today’s list of Top Rankin Tunes is compiled from what was most popular among ([HearingTest]) readers in 2007. This is definitely the most pop-oriented of all the lists; starting with the the most-played tune: Alicia Keys and Jr. Reid’s reggae soul remix of “No One” followed by the tune that Jah Cure released at the same time he himself was released from Tower Prison. These two tunes were receiving thousands of plays per day for weeks! Recently, the audio CD that comes with Ghostface Killah’s new book “The World According To Pretty Toney” has been streaming pretty much round the clock on computers around the globe and linked to on numerous hip hop BBs. Other big contenders include Foxy Brown’s don diva anthem with Mavado – “We’re On Fire” – released during her incarceration in Rykers Island and the club anthem of the year in UK – T2 and Jodie Aysha’s incredible infectious “Heartbroken” which puts the bounce in Bassline music!

RWD Magazine has published one great interview after another every day this week. RWD caught up with Eve to discuss hip hop, beats, her new album, record labels and reppin. Just yesterday, they published one of the best interviews with M.I.A. talking about the Tamil Tigers, Timbaland (including what she thinks of Timbaland using her tune on a Snoop Dogg track) and other treasures. We’ve got those interviews and a bunch of music from the new albums… ([More →])

Eve teamed up with Mashonda for some sexy girl talk on her new hit: “Dancefloor.” Mashonda is an ethereal compliment to Eve’s rock-solid rapping here. “Dancefloor” is the B-side to the super-hot, dancehall flavoured “Tambourine.” Swizz Beatz made a banging score for Miss Eve to shake her tambourine to, and it was an easy choice for the first single off her latest record Here I Am.

The new video for Eve’s “Give It To You” featuring Sean Paul is here! The fire on screen is HOT!! This is the second single off her new album Here I Am which drops August 7th. ([More →])

Eve has a new album coming out on August 7th, titled Here I Am. The first single, “Tambourine” features Swizz Beats (see the vid below) while the second single, “Give It To You” features the lovely lady wiggling on the hip of Sean Paul. ([More →])

Eve is ready to drop a new album, Here I Am, on August 7th. It has quite a diversity of flavors from collaborations with Mary J. Blige, Sean Paul, Robin Thicke, T.I., Timbaland and Swizz Beatz. It also has the Philly lady stretching her vocals and testing some area outside of her usual comfort zone. She lists “All Night Long” as her favorite song on the album, but also the one that was most challenging for her. She sings the whole song, rather than rapping, so it has become something she really has to work at. She told MTV news, “Now I felt like I’d take the gamble because it is the fourth album, and why buy my album if you’re going to hear the same thing you heard three years ago?” ([More →])
