Black Eyed Peas Ask "Where Is The Love?" Once Again
Thirteen years after releasing their “Where is the Love?” single, the Black Eyed Peas release an updates remake of the song. The group released the video to “#WHERESTHELOVE” this week with over 60 appearances by celebrities and musicians. The video shows visuals of police officers, victims of police brutality, and air strike attacks on children in the Middle East.
Notable celebrities with lines in the song include Diddy, The Game, DJ Khaled, A$AP Rocky, Justin Timberlake, and Usher. Celebrities outside the realm of music include Kendall Jenner, Kris Kenner, Von Miller, Lindsey Vonn, and Russell Westbrook.
The update version of the song touches upon similar topics we face as a society such as terrorism, violence, and war. The 2016 version focuses is on the police with Diddy rapping “Over seas yeah they try to stop terrorism/O`ver here in the streets the police shoot the people but the bullets in them.” The song echoes the same tone as the 2003 version, asking where the love is in this sometimes-hateful world.
In a seperate video, the Blake Eyed Peas discussed the idea behind remaking "Where Is The Love". "I remember when the Paris attack happened, people would say, we need 'Where Is The Love?' again," will.i.am explained. "And then Belgium happened. And then Turkey, and then Orlando, and then Philando, and Alton before him, and then Dallas. Everyone was calling on us, like, 'we need that song again.'" Heres to hoping the love returns.

[Video] Jay Z: "Holy Grail" (feat. Justin Timberlake)
Jay Z just dropped the video for my personal favorite song from Magna Carta Holy Grail, "Holy Grail." Featuring the boy band/R&B crooner, Justin Timberlake, the video features a new cut and edit of the song, moving Timberlake's intro into the middle of the song while moving a few of Jay Z's verses around. There are a few other production edits, such as slowing down the tempo in Timberlake's verse.
Check it out and let us know what you think!

[Video] Justin Timberlake: "Tunnel Vision"
Warning: Not Suitable For Viewing At Work!
Mr. Timberlake is definitely bringing sexy back - along with a lot of nipples. In the third visual of off the impressive project, The 20/20 Experience, JT keeps a close watch on his woman accompanied by executive producer and longtime collaborator, Timbaland's beat-boxing mouth.
"Tunnel Vision" showcases Timberlake floating through some smooth choreography and although it depicts more mature material than his typical music video - it is done tastefully with near perfect [nude] dancers set on dark backdrops. And sometimes his face is projected on their chests - so there's that. But all while the visually is enthralling, my mind can't help but wonder that this video might have been done before ...ahem, Robin Thicke.
With The 20/20 Experience still at the top of the charts and his "Legends of Summer" tour with the ever elusive Jay-Z about to commence - can JT's 2013 reign be stopped? Peep "Tunnel Vision" below while you ponder that.
