Be By Myself

Mr. Roth! Yeah. Asleep in the Bread Aisle is gonna be one of those albums everybody looks back on twenty years from now and hails as a classic... wonder how we'll see Crank That then.... like Can't Touch This, perhaps?  
Back to the topic of this post: Asher Roth.
Second video off the album. It's the best I have seen in a while. Can't have been too expensive, but they really did good with the CGI and the colors and the contrasting white and the fact that the entire video revolves aroeund seeing the subjects within the frame of the model's bodyhaving fluids drip off the tips. Very ceative stuff. Mob camera tricks (yes, pun intended)
Forgot to mention Cee-Lo. Complements it perfectly.

Tiny Dancer

Wow... I don't like DJ Ironik much- he's too wack a rapper- but hey, he doesn't introduce himself as a rapper, so I'll bury the hate. He classifies himself as a DJ- and dang, he puts together a mean track! After Stay With Me he teams up with Chipmunk and Elton John for this here banger. Curious. 
The feelings it evokes are curious. If Tony Soprano ever fell for one of the girls from the Bada Bing, I think this would make for a great soundtrack. It's so... wow... Chipmunk added a great amount of lyrical feasibility to this here, I don't think I would have liked it without him on it. He's coming out with a new vid in a bit. Watch. 
Mr. John helps it cross over as well, been a while, actually.  The chorus is actually a sample of some oooooooooooooooold song of his from like the early 70's (i think), reason for that whole laidbackness. Props.
