Lady Gaga: "Telephone" featuring Beyonce Video
Wow, here is the finished product of Lady Gag's "Telephone" video. This is one clip definitely worth the hype, as Gaga starts the clip off by clearing up her gender confusion. Since she hit the big time, Gaga's faced rumors that she has both boy and girl parts, something she addresses in the opening seconds of the video. The near ten-minute video, I'm sure paid in great part by Virgin Mobile, witnesses Gaga taking to a very fashion forward ladies prison. They say you either become someone's b**ch or beat someone up the first day, and Gaga makes choice "A", hooking up with a tough broad as soon as she hits the prison yard. It pays to have famous friends, as she gets a call from Beyonce, does a smooth dance number and gets bailed out... What ensues can be seen right after the jump.

This new record finds Shawn tackling complex socio-economic issues about America and the ills of society over a mid-tempo soul inspired production courtesy of Numonics.
“Money Mentality” is the latest promo single from Numonics’ forthcoming “Being Cool Doesn’t Pay The Bills” which is mixed by DJ RTC (Ruby Hornet, Closed Sessions) and is presented by IM KING and DJBooth. The album features Reks, Donny Goines, QuESt, Sene, Co$$, TreaZon, RAtheMC and more."
