WATCH IT: DJ Khaled "All I Do Is Win (remix)" (Gil Green, dir.)

It's one hot hip-hop personality after another in this collabo video for the remix of DJ Khaled "All I Do Is Win". Khaled drops a verse himself, but also makes room for such ringers as Rick Ross, Busta Rhymes, Diddy, Nicki Minaj, Fabolous, Jadakiss, Fat Joe, Swizz Beatz and T-Pain. In other words, it's the hip-hop equivalent of the Yankees lineup.  --> watch "All I Do Is Win" (remix)

WATCH IT: Benny Benassi "Spaceship" (Ray Kay, dir.)

Star international DJ Benny Benassi looks to follow in the footsteps of David Guetta's mainstream success with this colloaboration with Kelis, Black Eyed Peas member Apl.De.Ap and Jean-Baptist. As befits a song called "Spaceship", most of the action takes place exactly where you'd expect — ie: space is the place — although some meditative shots of Benassi and a refrain that encourages you to get high may indicate that it's all taking place in the DJ's space-addled brain. --> watch "Spaceship"

WATCH IT: Billy Talent "Diamond On A Landmine" (Michael Maxxis, dir.)

Strangeness surrounds Canadian band Billy Talent in this video for "Diamond On A Landmine". A disorienting intro leads into performance within a tiny claustrophobic room where, among other odd touches, creepy baby masks hover in the ether and disembodied arms try to grab hold of the band. --> "Diamond On A Landmine"

WATCH IT: The Dead Weather "Blue Blood Blues" (C, Mills + T. Wheeler, dir.)

Christopher Mills takes some Dead Weather live footage shot by Tim Wheeler and essentially blows it out, making for a look that's somewhere between an x-ray and the black/white Halftone dots of a newspaper (or a Lichtenstein print, if that's a more impressive reference).  --> watch "Blue Blood Blues"
