We know a girl who went to school with Steve Urkel and she once told us that Urkel, whose real name is Jaleel White, hates it when people call him “Urkel.” Sure, and the bankroll you got from the lead role in the TV show Family Matters probably isn’t enough to wipe the tears away.

To be honest, we do feel bad for Urkel. It must suck to be a one-trick pony. And that’s really what he was. Or at least that’s what he was, until he got this new role playing Cee Lo Green in his new music video “Cry Baby.” Even with this new role, as a suave kid from the 50s, some are referring to this as White’s Stefan Urkel moment. If you recall, Stefan was Steve’s slick and suave side. He was the one all the ladies wanted to bang. Giving a new meaning to the catchphrase, “Did I do that?”

It’s been a long time coming, but the Beastie Boys have finally released a new music video. Said video is for the track “Don’t Play No Game That I Can’t Win,” and boy is it a doozy.

The video was directed by Spike Jonez and is, well, believe it or not 11 minutes in length. Go big or go home?

This is the second single off their new record “Hot Sauce Committee Part Two.” So, sit back and enjoy. And tell your wife and kids that they won’t be seeing you for a while. (Eleven minutes is a LONG time!)

At 3 a.m. this morning, everyone’s favorite fallen hottie (no, not Lindsay Lohan) Britney Spears tweeted out her new video for the song “Till The World Ends.” While it’s nice to see Brit Brit doing something productive with her time, I really can’t get over the whole post-apocalytic theme she’s going with. I mean would you want to spend your last minutes on earth with this crazy ass chick? I think not. Find out more and check out the video after the jump.

And let’s not leave our that the fact that Ke$ha wrote this song makes it just that much more unbearable. But I must say this is the best Britney has looked in a long time, so keep up the good work lady. Check out the video below.

You might recognize George Watsky from Def Poetry Jam. If you do, then you are well-versed in his lyrical skills. If you’ve never heard of this goofy white kid, you’re in for quite a treat. Check him out after the jump.

I think we have the next Twista (or at least the vanilla version) on our hands.

Considering how good the first installment was, we can’t help but be excited about Love The Way You Lie (Part 2). Find out more about Rihanna and Eminem‘s new song after the jump.

Produced by Alex Da Kid, the new duet between Eminem and Rihanna is expected to drop Nov. 16 and will be included on Rihanna’s new album LOUD. While a lot of times the follow-up collab to a hit song pales in comparison to the original, I have a feeling that this one might be just as a good as the original. Stay tuned.

I think T-Pain might have a little competition in the form of Antoine Dodson’s ‘Bed Intruder.’ Find out more after the jump.

You have got to be kidding me? Antoine Dodson’s incoherent, utterly ridiculous interview, now affectionately dubbed the ‘Bed Intruder,’ has officially hit the Billboard Hot 100 charts as the 89th most popular song. Brad Paisley should feel like an idiot. And we should all feel even dumber that we have listened to this song enough for it to make the cut.

Need a reminder of Antoine’s awesomeness? Check out the video below.

Kanye West has been flying under the radar lately, inevitably trying to avoid the ire of everyone and their mother who is confused/annoyed by his recent behavior. But regardless of what you think about the man, you have to admit his hot fire spitting skills are remarkable and the music world is definitely missing some socially-conscious, well-informed…well, maybe, not so much any more but that beats are still hot. Check out three of Kanye’s newest tracks from his forthcoming album after the jump.

Kanye performed Chain Heavy, Mama’s Boyfriend, and Good Ass Job while meeting with people from Facebook in California. He may have been out of the music game for a bit, but judging by these tracks, Kanye’s still got it.

As if cornering the market on toolish behavior wasn’t enough, Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino has decided that he should try his luck at a rap career. While we’ll let you be the judge of his budding musical career, we think he should still to what he knows (tanning, picking up skanky chicks and fist pumping). Take a listen at his soon-to-be released single after the jump.

Don’t worry, it’s as much of a disappointment as you’re expecting it to be. If you hate techno and hate terrible rappers, then this is about to be your new jam.

Katy Perry has made a name for herself for being carefree, light-hearted and fun. In her new video for California Gurls, she combines all those lovely attributes with a hot bod, a sugary bun bikini top and a bra that spews…icing? Check out a teaser for the video after the jump.

The song itself might completely blow, but you can’t argue with the visuals here. I think we all know what keeps Russell Brand around, and it certainly has nothing to do with Katy’s vocal abilities.
