10. Beez In The Trap
Lyrics wise, this is not the most impressive song she has done. It is catchy and it is her video. I am assuming the barbed wire was supposed to symbolize “the trap”, but you never know with her.

9. Moment 4 Life
This modern Cinderella themed video feature elaborate outfit changes and Drake is in it! I was surprised they did not kiss at the end. They did get married, right?
[ New Page=8. Check It Out ]
8. Check It Out
I am shocked that Nicki Minaj was able to stand out with Will.I.am in this video. Most of the time, he tends to overshadow the artist he is working with like Justin Beiber and Brittney Spears.

[ New Page=7. High School ]
7. High School
Only problem I have with this video is Lil Wayne. There are so many other men out there she could have used. He was featured in the song, but that does not mean they had to do the love scenes together.

[ New Page=6. Right Through Me ]
6. Right Through Me
It is nice to see videos that have a short storyline. It adds depth to the song. This is not a track, it is a video. The director and artist can have more fun with it. This one is one of her more serious songs. So she is not wearing outrageous clothing, hair, and make up.

[ New Page=5. Your Love ]
5. Your Love
I know this song is about love, but this video tickles me. When I see Michael Jai White, I think of the other movies he has been in like Spawn. His facial expressions are a bit much. Otherwise, the costumes are nice. They aren’t authentic, but who said they had to be?

[New Page=4. Star Ships ]
4. Star Ships
This song is catchy and the video looks like a highlighter bomb went off in it. Scheme wise, the video has 80s undertones. This is the kind of song you play at a highlighter party.

[New Page=3. Pound The Alarm ]
3. Pound The Alarm
It’s Mardi Gras in this video! You have to appreciate the authentic outfits. Overall, this is just a dance song. There is no deep meaning or symbolism behind it.

[New Page=2. Super Base ]
2. Super Base
Super Base was a club banger when it came out. All a DJ has to do is drop the beat and most ladies knew the chorus.

[New Page=1. Right By My Side]
1. Right By My Side
Number one goes to “Right By My Side”! I like the concept, but I don’t understand why Nas doesn’t get a verse. After all, He is the love interest in the video. Regardless of how you feel about Chris Brown, the man can sing and dance. Put these two together with a cameo from hip hop royalty and you have the number one video.
