Nicki Minaj, "Pills n Potions." The first single from Nicki's forthcoming third album has been out for a few days, and she gave her Barbz a Memorial Day Weekend gift—a lyric video to the song!

Keke Palmer, "Animal." Keke Palmer (who nailed her impression of T-Boz in the TLC VH1 biopic, BTW) has a new song, "Animal," which just so happens to be the theme song to her latest film of the same name. You can watch the entire music video right now on Chideo and the behind-the-scenes of the making of the video below.
