| 50 Cent's 'Baby By Me' Video, Featuring Ne-Yo, Premieres Posted: 02 Nov 2009 03:50 AM PST Kelly Rowland plays Fif's leading lady in the new clip.
In his new video for "Baby by Me," which premiered Monday (November 2), 50 Cent meets an around-the-way Kelly Rowland and woos the singer, leading a life in suburban bliss before he realizes it's all make-believe. "This video is great," 50 told MTV News during the filming of the clip. "Chris Robinson came up with a great treatment for it. It's obvious I wasn't in a hurry to make the music video until I found the right treatment, the right idea, to bring it to life."
The visuals start off with 50 meeting Rowland, the video's leading lady, in the street, and the two hit it off. Soon, 50 is in a snazzy suit and coming home from his 9-to-5 to the ex-Destiny's Child singer and his three kids. The pair even share a steamy bedroom scene. But after all the promises 50 raps about on the song, he soon discovers he was actually daydreaming. Rowland is a taken woman, and the kids are hers by another man. A high-price car then pulls up to whisk 50 away, echoing the song's refrain: "Have a baby by me, baby, be a millionaire." The video was shot between New York and Los Angeles and also features Ne-Yo, who sings the tune's chorus. His part was filmed in the Big Apple, and 50 shot his scenes out on the West Coast. Rowland was recruited for the video after 50 ran into her at the Los Premios MTV awards in Los Angeles. The rapper approached the singer about the role, and hours later, she was on set ready to go. |
| Wisin Y Yandel Recruit T-Pain For 'Imaginate' Video Posted: 02 Nov 2009 03:50 AM PST The three singers team up for a bilingual funeral in the rain.
Reggaeton duo Wisin y Yandel weren't just content to team up with 50 Cent for "Mujeres in the Club" and Spanish crooner Enrique Iglesias for "Gracias a Tí." For "Imagínate," the first single from their La Revolución re-release, La Evolución, they felt it was only logical to recruit one of the most popular collaborators in the biz, T-Pain. "After doing the song with 50 Cent, I thought this [collaboration] needed to happen," Wisin explained to MTV News on the set of their video for "Imagínate," which premieres on Monday (November 2). "T-Pain is an artist who's been going at it hard for a while now, and when he does something, he leaves his mark."
"T-Pain is one of our favorite artists, and we support him in everything he does," Yandel agreed. "So here we are, and I think this video is going to be a success." With this latest single, Wisin y Yandel aren't just breaking down language barriers with the accompanying video — which features their Spanish verses and Pain's English hooks — they're also taking a step into more mournful territory than their popular tracks like "Abusadora." The video for the sexy, slow song features the three singers attending a funeral in the rain — which, on a sunny day in Los Angeles, definitely required some special effects. Given the lyrics about imagining two lovers in bed on a rainy day, one can guess that the woman they loved is in the coffin. "The people deserve a great video, and that's what's going to happen," Yandel asserted. "Wisin y Yandel y T-Pain, the leaders." |
