Asher Roth - I Love College
After the nominees went live on the MTV website this morning, FemaleFirst couldn’t resist having a sneaky peek at what they had to say about the lucky handful, and then of course, picking our own winners… see if you agree
The Nominees
Asher Roth - I Love College - Directed by Jay Lia & Scooter Braun
Asher Roth just dropped onto the hip-hop scene with his major-label debut, but he's already got the partying down. His first video features strip poker, hot women and hooking up.
Eminem - We Made You - Directed by Joseph Kahn
Eminem doesn't pull any punches—or shy away from impersonations—when it comes to slamming Hollywood stars in his videos. This is no exception.
Flo Rida - Right Round - Directed by Malcolm Jones
Hoards of beautiful women rotate on turntables and leave Flo Rida's head spinning in the video for his infectious single "Right Round."
Jay-Z- D.O.A. (Death of Auto-Tune) - Directed by Anthony Mandler
Before you make your choice for hip-hop video, watch Jay-Z kick it with Harvey Keitel and LeBron James in between making his lyrical case for ridding the world of the Auto-Tune.
Kanye West - Love Lockdown - Directed by Simon Henwood
Kanye West filmed "Love Lockdown" in what is supposed to be his apartment. Kanye's so artistic that it wouldn't surprise us if he actually has drum-beating warriors run around his place real life.
And FF’s winner is…
Asher Roth - I Love College
Now we know he was up against some Hip Hop heavyweights in this category, but Asher Roth seems to have learnt from the music videos he watched as a wee boy and as his first video features strip poker, hot women and hooking up, it‘s clear he‘s on the right path to global stardom… unlike Kanye, who is too busy messing around with warriors.
