Almost everything about this song, from the title’s silly pun to the video’s even sillier premise and crass product placement, is embarrassing. The hype mounted upon Dre’s ‘Detox’ album can not have helped the process of refi...

Video Spotlight: Ke$ha *Blow*
Unicorns drinking champagne, an ex Dawson Creeker, conversations about cheese bites and a lazer gun fight – Yeah, this video is completely nonsensical. Key, Dollar Sign, Har (Dawson’s words, not mine) or Ke$ha as she is usually known maintains...
