Video: Ke$ha ft. Wiz Khalifa, Andre 3000, T.I. & Lil Wayne – Sleazy Remix 2.0

It seems like Ke$ha decided to release a video without everyone featured on the remix, including herself. The video did come with a warning though,”brace yourself because this video takes SLEAZY to a whole new level.”

Video: Wiz Khalifa ft. Lola Monroe & Juicy J – Oh Gee La Freestyle

Taylor Gang members Wiz Khalifa, Lola Monroe and Juicy J hit us with their rendition of the Fugees hit. This Salaam Remi instrumental just isn’t the same without Lauryn Hill on the chorus. Good attempt. Check it out above.
