There are two kinds of DJ Khaled videos. Actually there's only one kind: the awesome kind. But under that awesome umbrella are two settings: Michael Bay-style action movie, complete with helicopters and car chases and kidnappings (think "Out Here Grindin' " or "We Takin' Over"), or green screen flossing demonstrations, where rappers unleash copious amounts of swag upon us, the willing and loving viewers.
Khaled's "All I Do Is Win (Remix)" video falls under the latter category.
First things first: DJ Khaled has done so much winning that he's become a traded commodity on the New York Stock Exchange. Either that or he spent a pretty penny on a LED screen that flashes his name and its stock price, but has no baring whatsoever on the world's economy.
Second of all, we're really feeling the sheer variety of jackets being rocked in this clip, from Khaled's varsity style to Rick Ross' satin "West Side Story" Windbreaker, to Diddy's rose-colored fitted thing with the white ribbing. If variety is the spice of life, these guys are Sriracha sauce.
Third of all, and just to wrap up because I have to go start my thesis paper on this video to be published next Nevuary, WHAT IS THE DEAL WITH BUSTA RHYMES' STOICISM.
Every one else is totally living it up and throwing money and being animated. But Busta is acting like he's watching "The Hurt Locker" for the first time! Check him out at 1:17! It's true!
This video contains multitudes. I implore you to discover all of them.

Whoa, I smell a Three Amigos remake in the making. Brothers and sisters, I present to you the latest piece of wonderfully pompous Cash Money extravagance (rock-pop sub-division): Kevin Rudolf's "I Made It," featuring Cash Money majordomo Birdman, Lil' Wayne and Brit R&B sensation (and CM signee) Jay Sean.
This thing is basically a DJ Khaled song/video (think "Out Here Grindin'") rendered in a rock format. Bombastic synths, even more bombastic attitude.
And the thing is...it works! The "Let It Rock" singer really fits well with Birdman and Jay Sean (Lil' Wayne bats cleanup towards the end). These guys are all basically like, "LOL, I'm rich!" with a little bit of overcoming adversity thrown in to make you tear up.
Kevin Rudolf's untitled second full-length is due out this year. Check out the song (as well as some bonus DJ Khaled insanity because...well why not!?) below.
+ Listen to "I Made It" by Kevin Rudolf, featuring Birdman, Lil' Wayne and Jay Sean here.

This video is not realistic. Now, you might be thinking, "Oh, Buzzworthy. If I want realism, I'll watch The Hills." But here's the thing: there is no way on God's green earth that DJ Khaled picks China Palace as a meeting point (as he does in the beginning of this clip for "Fed Up,"). DJ Khaled is nothing if not a DEDICATED AND LOYAL MCDONALD'S CUSTOMER. China Palace? Are you pulling my leg, director Gil Green!?
Other than that "Fed Up," taken from Khaled's forthcoming Global album, is by the numbers pomp and circumstance from Mr. We The Best.
The major tropes of DJ Khaled vids are revisited: Young Jeezy breaks the speed limit and Rick Ross looks like Grover from Sesame Street in his New York Mets attire. Drake is on a boat, and Usher is in the air. Totes plausible. Totally awesome.

Whatever you had for lunch today, I guarantee that it didn't sound anywhere as good as the way Miami rapper/ radio personality DJ Khaled makes McDonald's sound.
I don't care if your beef consumtion is limited to free-range, grass-fed, Montessori-schooled cows only. You will go cuckoo for Mickey D's once you hear these absolutely inspired works genius that are these (possibly fake) DJ Khaled McDonald's radio drops.
Khaled, in case you haven't heard him shattering ear drums with his screamed mantra, "WE THE BEST," is responsible for rap-albums-as-Michael-Bay-movies such as We The Best, Listennn...The Album and next year's Global. They're full of high-priced talent stuffed into glossy, epic jams and they rule in a totally ridiculous way.
After listening to these radio ad's (especially the one focusing on the steamed milk and whipped cream heaven that is a McD's hot chocolate) you will no doubt be one of the one billion served. Get on line, people.
+ Listen to DJ Khaled's McDonald's McCafe hot chocolate radio promos here and here. And stay tuned for the premiere of DJ Khaled's new video, "Fed Up," featuring Usher, Young Jeezy, Drake, and Rick Ross on MTV and MTV.com tomorrow.

At the height of his slow-cooking 50 Cent beef, Officer Ricky Rick Ross -- the new authority on high-end timepieces (NSFW) -- drops a white-suited wallop of a video with John Legend singing the money-dripping hook.
The Gil Green (Lil Wayne's "Lollipop," Akon's "Lonely," DJ Khaled's "So Hood")-directed video for "Magnificent" may not include any overt attacks on 50, but it certainly does support claims that Ross's life has only gotten better since the beef began.
For one thing, "Magnificent" looks like it cost about $100 million to make. It could definitely replace Scarface as the video in heavy rotation on all the Cribs flatscreens. Sounds like $100 million, too! The Deeper Than Rap single was produced by J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League, frequent Jeezy (and once Young Buck!) co-conspirators. Finally, John Legend really drives the message home when he croons that hook through clenched teeth.
Swimmin' in women/ Champagne sippin'/ Gold Emblem with 2 Ms in it/ This living is so magnificent/ Stop dreaming it/ I'm living it!
Here it is. Rick Ross The Boss's latest look at the good life. Bet on "Magnificent."

The-Dream's got friends in high places. His "Rockin That Thang" remix just dropped and it's stacked with names -- Rick Ross, Ludacris, Fabolous, Juelz Santana and DJ Khaled -- pretty much a who's who of hip-hop right now. You could call it The- Dream Team and be right in more than one way.
If the cover-shoot-based layout of the Parris (Ludacris, Swizz Beats, Busta Rhymes) -directed video looks familiar, it's probably because a) you've read a magazine before, and b) it's more or less what Kanye and Jamie Foxx did on "Gold Digger." I guess there's also an outside chance that c) one of those many fly girls is your sister or best friend or tutor.
Anyway, when you got an all-star list of collaborators, hopefully you come out with some showstopper rhymes. Here are a few stand-outs:
Fabolous: "Can I call you Nana 'cause you got that rockin' chair?"
Juelz Santana: "Treat you like the first lady, I'll put my Barack in ya!"
Ludacris: "I'm ready to take the Milky Way to your Hershey's Kiss."
Dirty! I'm sure they mean all that literally, and wholesomely. Wholesome like Buzzworthy. Watch that video now.

You saw our "Best Female Video" nominee rundown. Now check out some of our favorite of the many videos vying for a "Best Male Video" VMA nom. Then hurry up and vote for the video you think should be nominated! You've only got until 11am ET tomorrow to vote, so get crackalackin'! And watch FNMTV this Friday to see who the final nominees are.
+ Snoop Dogg, "Sensual Seduction" -- '80s cable access, ladies dressed like Apollonia, and Snoop in his pimpinest gear yet! We're still working on a way to work "I'm not gonna rush the stroke" into our daily vernacular.
+ Chris Brown, "Forever" -- It's like he's just showing off at this point, but we're still watching what he can do with his feet.
+ Jesse McCartney, "Leavin'" -- Lil J's all growed up and sounds so sexy singing about G5 that we don't even care about the massive carbon footprint that thing's "leavin'" behind.
+ T-Pain, "Bartender" -- The reason T kept getting all those buy-backs.
+ Albert Hammond Jr., "GFC" -- You're hot, I'm dizzy.
+ Kanye West, "The Good Life," -- Sigh. Kanye back before he was Angry Kanye.
+ Lupe Fiasco, "Superstar" -- That Matthew Santos hook still haunts.
+ Common, "Drivin' Me Wild" -- The sleeper hit of the pack. And Common in a white tux = extra eye-candy appeal.
+ Mika, "Love Today" -- Freddie Mercury lives!
+ Guru, "State of Clarity" -- Hip-hop and cartoon cats! This totally makes up for MC Skat Cat.
+ DJ Khaled, "I'm So Hood (Remix)" -- DJ Khaled yells at us... and we sorta like it.

+ Mark Ronson featuring Lily Allen, "Oh My God" -- The obsession continues.
