[Music Video] Chris Brown-She Ain't You

I love this song. Lyrically and because of the sampling of the Micheal Jackson beat "Human Nature." and the remix of this beat for SWV "Right Here" I also like how this video is a dedication to Micheal Jackson. The SWV "Right Here" video is below.

"Deuces" Remix ft Chris Brown, Drake, T.I. , Kanye West, Fabolous, Andre 3000

When I first heard about this song, I didn't think it was possible to have all those features.  Those are pretty big names, and Drake has been begging to work with Andre for quite some time.  However, it materialized to a remix that left me speechless (in a good way).  I thought Drake's reference to Usher's "Nice In Slow" is his verse was clever.  I like how Drake's raps are influenced by R&B (remember the Aaliyah "Are You That Somebody?" reference in "Bedrock"?)
Usually by having so many rappers on a single song, it can be a mess, but this is pretty amazing.  Up there with multiple rapper songs like "Swagga Like Us" and "Forever." Chris really isn't featured on the song as much, but that might be a good thing because adding another person might have been an overkill. The song is available here

Jay-Z Song Cry/Chris Brown Deuces Mash Up

DJ Green Lantern, who mixed this, played it on his ATL radio show.  I like both "Dueces" and "Song Cry" but I was a bit resistant to it a first. However, the DJ mixed it well and I actually think it would be nice for a club song.  Interesting twist on both of the songs.  Jay-Z is not a stranger to mash ups, remember "Collison Course" with Linkin Park? I liked how he re-recorded every song with them so that sound quality was terrific. You can get the Song Cry/Deuces mashup here

It was hard to pick a top 10 because summer basically started end of April and I tend to hop from song to song a lot, but these are the ones that came to mind quickly, in no particular order.  Thank Me Later was definitely the soundtrack to my summer, even though my relationship to that album is strange.  Its like I grow to love it more everyday, but it was still somewhat of a disappointment.  LOL I think this was the reaction Drake was expecting when he titled the album.
