Lil Mama Says Vote for Me on 106 & Park
I’m assuming this video is an online only promo to encourage folks to vote for the continued appearance of Lil Mama’s single Lip Gloss in 106 & Park’s Countdown. It’s nicely done to emphasize her realness and cuteness, leaving in a couple of fumbles and then ducking out with a cute little response to someone off camera.
I’m totally serious when I say that Lil Mama has the potential for a huge career as a pop star. Nice work if you can get it. Whoever came up with the tagline, "Voice of the Young People", is pretty darn smart though it should probably be followed up with some kind of youth oriented community appearances. Nice debut all around.
Lil Mama – Lip Gloss
If I had ever done the Hip Hop Signs of Life series I discussed a while back, I would be adding the Lip Gloss video for the dancing and choreography. I think it’s great that not only are so many popular dances getting started, involving folks on the dance floor in regional and national fads, but that so much solid dance and choreography is appearing in rap videos, from Tell Me When To Go to Lip Gloss.
Lil Mama and her crew of dancers bring it live as well.
On a sour note, I went to her Jive Records home page and it automatically fired up my iTunes account. I hope that’s not becoming common because it’s an unacceptable intrusion for me.
