Be Still ft. Janelle Monáe
Shutterbug for sure
“Mama Told Me” is so much fun.
My favourite Big Boi video would have to be “Mama Told Me”. Even though I thought that Little Dragon’s rendition of the song was better than Kelly’s, she did justice to the song with her sheer magnetism and charm.
The Way You Move video was pretty cool. I loved the Roses video from their double CD. OHHHH Ghetto Musick was a good one too.
Fo Yo Sorrows
