Come A Little Closer (Justin Bieber Video) with lyrics

A video I made for Justin Bieber using the song “Come A Little Closer” by Brandy. Lyrics: Verse I I know that it’s late And maybe I shouldn’t be so into you It’s just that tonight I am so taken, I’ve fallen for you When I look in your eyes I can see A million possibilities And I know you’ll be leaving me soon But tonight Chorus Come a little bit closer Let me hold you baby I will be good to you And we can try To forget tomorrow And make it last forever tonight Verse II So if you must go Know that I’ll be missing you, wishing you closer So let’s make the most of these Moments together, we’ll never forget And it’s breaking my heart ’cause I know That tomorrow you’ll be miles away And I catch myself wanting so much more Tonight Chorus Bridge So if you’re leaving me now Baby I don’t know how I’ll ever get over you Because you opened my eyes To this love that’s inside Oh baby, don’t ever, ever leave me Chorus out http://www.youtube.com/v/mDNLZhtJnfc?version=3&f=videos&app=youtube_gdata See the original post here: Come A Little Closer (Justin Bieber Video) with lyrics

The Water Runs Dry: Chris Brown And Rihanna Have A Twitter Break-Up Over “Theraflu” Freestyle

Just when you thought there was a chance for reconciliation… Chris Brown And Rihanna Unfollow Each Other On Twitter Over Diss Track According to TMZ reports : It seems Rihanna has finally had enough of Chris Brown … the singer has “unfollowed” her ex-boyfriend on Twitter after he released a new diss track that appears to be aimed at her. The song in question is a remix of Kanye’s TheraFlu — in which Brown freestyles the verse, “Don’t f*ck with my old bitches … like a bad fur … every industry n*gga done had her.” He continues, “Trick or treat like a pumpkin … just to smash her.” Hours after Brown released the track last night, Rihanna stopped following Brown on Twitter — a HUGE move — and one that’s leading many to assume Rihanna believes the verse is about her. A short time later, Brown unfollowed Rihanna. Let Chris tell it, he didn’t have Robyn in mind when he spit his hot bars of fire. Hit the flipper to listen to Breezy’s not-so-subliminal diss track!

Mac Miller, Machine Gun Kelly Talk Woodie Noms

Miller and MGK, along with EDM artist Steve Aoki, talk about getting set for mtvU awards show, which returns to SXSW. By Nadeska Alexis Mac Miller Photo: Getty Images The mtvU Woodie Awards are set to be bigger and better than ever this year: The annual awards show will once again take place in Austin, Texas, at South by Southwest, where the first-ever Woodies Festival will be launched. The current lineup of performers includes Santigold , Childish Gambino, A$AP Rocky and EDM artist Steve Aoki, who is also nominated for Woodie awards alongside Mac Miller and Machine Gun Kelly. All three artists had plenty to say about their nominations during a Woodies conference call on Thursday. Machine Gun Kelly, who won MTV’s 2011 Hottest Breakthrough MC award, is nominated for Breaking Woodie , and the Bad Boy rapper is taking a rather optimistic approach to the contest. “I’m just so focused on that award and I’m trying to speak it into existence,” MGK said. “I’ve been mixing my debut album, and I’ve got a DMX collaboration and so many others, but there were people we fought to make sure we finally got them. We spoke it into existence and we really believed in it. It was the same thing with the Breakthrough award. No one expected us to win, we were the super-underdogs, so I’m just trying to speak [this award] into existence. And if I win it, my speech is going to be hilarious.” In addition to performing, Aoki is also nominated for the EDM Effect Woodie award, a new category that recognizes artists who are pushing boundaries in the electronic music arena. “The scene in America is really vibrant — a lot of the international artists are most excited to play out here,” Aoki said of EDM’s growth in the States. “Sometimes their biggest markets are out here. America is really juicy with electronic music right now. “I’m on this 60-day bus tour across the U.S. There’s no way I could’ve done this three or four years ago,” Aoki added. “We’re definitely at a really impactful time for our music scene, and I think this is just the start.” Pittsburgh rapper Miller made a splash this year with both his debut album, Blue Slide Park, and his subsequent tours, thanks to an adept social media following. He’s been nominated for both Woodie of the Year and Performing Woodie. “It’s crazy, it makes me feel like there’s no way I’m going to win,” Mac said of receiving nods in categories that include veterans like Jay-Z. “But it’s just great to be nominated with people that I grew up being some of my favorite artists. It makes me feel like I’m in the big leagues.” The Woodies invade SXSW on March 15 with the Woodies Festival. The best of the 2012 mtvU Woodies will air on MTV and mtvU on March 18 at 8 p.m. ET.

Tyga’s ‘King And Queens’ Shares Name With Nas’ New Label

Tyga tells ‘RapFix Live’ that his Nas-assisted track shares its name with God’s Son’s new label. By Rob Markman Tyga on “RapFix Live” Photo: Natasha Chandel/ MTV News Don’t let the popularity of “Rack City” fool you. Tyga ‘s recently released Careless World: Rise of the Last King is packed with 21 joints (23 if you buy the iTunes bonus tracks). Among the most notable are the Lil Wayne-assisted “Faded” and “King and Queens” with Nas and Wale. This isn’t the first time Wale and Tyga have collaborated; the D.C. spitter appears on the official “Rack City” remix, but for Nas to link up with the Young Money newcomer is a big deal. “I feel like it crosses every angle, and the song is consistent. It doesn’t fall off,” Tyga said of “King and Queens” when he appeared on Wednesday’s “RapFix Live.” “From my verse to Wale to Nas’ verse, it’s just a perfect song from beginning to end. “[Nas] actually has a label called Kings and Queens that he just started, so he was like, it’s just clich

When we first heard Wu-Tang affiliate Timbo King’s latest single, ” High Ranking ,” we were pleasantly surprised when he kept up with one of our favorite spitters, R.A. The Rugged Man. We were also pleased to hear R.A. on a new track, to be honest. But he and King’s collaboration sounded natural and not like some “I’ll send you my verse over e-mail” type of shit, which made it that much more enjoyable….

Jay-Z, Kanye West Try Dubstep On Watch The Throne

Producer Verse Simmonds opens up to MTV News about WTT track ‘Who Gon Stop Me.’ By Rob Markman Kanye West and Jay-Z Photo: Getty Images Jay-Z and Kanye West ‘s collaborative Watch the Throne LP is shaping up to be the year’s most anticipated release. So far, fans have heard the Southern-fried, Lex Luger-produced “H.A.M.” and the soul-drenched “Otis,” which premiered Wednesday night on New York radio. While the two records both feature hard-nosed lyrics from Hov and ‘Ye, their sounds couldn’t be more different. Well, the sonic versatility doesn’t stop there. Singer/songwriter Verse Simmonds revealed to MTV News that the multiplatinum rap tandem will also be experimenting with dubstep on the new album. After getting a call from Bu Thiam, Def Jam’s VP of A&R, to submit tracks for WTT, Simmonds and his production partner, Sham “Sak Pase” Joseph, immediately went to work. “What we did is, we locked in a week, we just went crazy on everything Jay and Kanye,” Simmonds told MTV News. “I remember telling Sham, I was like, ‘Yo, I think this dubstep stuff is going to be the next new flavor that everybody gotta be on. It gotta have a hip-hop feel to it still.’ ” The result is “Who Gon Stop Me,” a track that, according to the “Buy You a Round” singer, is influenced by the U.K. style of electronic dance music. Together, Verse and Sak Pase make up the Jugganauts, and for “Who Gon Stop Me,” Joseph made the beat and Simmonds wrote and referenced the chorus. “We started creating the track, and it just started to come crazy, so we came up with the concept,” Simmonds said before reciting a loose rendition of the song’s lyrics. “It was like, ‘Who gon stop me, huh? Black cards, Black cars, whole lot of money.’ ” To pen the hook on the track, Verse said he first imagined himself in Jigga and Yeezy’s shoes. “When I recorded it, everybody was like, ‘Yo, you sound just like Kanye, you sound just like Jay-Z,’ ” he remembered. “It’s just crazy, because I felt like, at that moment in time, I was them. I got into that mode of: ‘What would these guys say? How would they say it?’ I think they heard it the first time and loved it.” Hopefully, the fans will too. What do you think about the Watch the Throne tracks released so far? Let us know in the comments!

CyHi Da Prynce On Kanye West: ‘He Pushes Me’

G.O.O.D. Music MC tells Mixtape Daily, ‘He’ll tell me when my verse is not as hot.’ By Jayson Rodriguez, with reporting by Matt Harper CyHi Da Prince Photo: MTV News Celebrity Favorites: CyHi Da Prynce CyHi Da Prynce likens the G.O.O.D. Music collective to superheroes, but you might be surprised to learn who he compares his crew to. “[Kanye] is Captain Planet and all our powers combined,” the upstart MC told Mixtape Daily, referencing the animated Planeteers. “I’m heart, Big Sean is water, Pusha T is fire and Teyana Taylor is Wind. So if you put it all together, it’s Captain Planet. He’s Captain Planet.” And maybe Mr. Hudson is Earth, but even without the final element, it’s hard not to give ‘Ye a nod for pushing his team to the forefront. The My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy star recently held court down in Texas, where he headlined a ballyhooed G.O.O.D. Music set at the South by Southwest music festival. Push, Cy and Jay-Z joined Mr. West for a formidable lineup. According to Da Prynce, it’s just another example of Yeezy’s hospitality, though, to hear the Georgia rapper tell it, it’s really his mentor’s honesty that sets him apart, for better or worse. “I wish you guys could really be around him,” CyHi said. “The misconception … it’s like this, you know how you say something about somebody behind their back, and then when you see them you have to be politically correct and you don’t say what you want to say to them? I don’t feel like that’s right. Some people have to be honest with each other, ’cause sometimes you can’t let a situation escalate to a point where it’s out of control. “Honesty is the biggest thing to me and that’s what I love about [Kanye],” he continued. “He’ll tell me when my verse is not as hot. Most of your friends will tell you you’re dope because you’re already naturally dope. But he pushes me and challenges me to be better. And he does that in music, art, fashion and so many other things to the point where I take it as constructive criticism. Especially to someone that sold all these records, he didn’t sell them for nothing. Don’t shoot the messenger all the time, just get the message.” For other artists featured in Mixtape Daily, check out Mixtape Daily Headlines . Related Videos Mixtape Daily: Cy Hi Da Prince, Pusha T
