WATCH IT: Justin Bieber "Boyfriend" (Director X, dir.)
The kid is all grown up. Or at least mostly. Director X helps Justin Bieber leave behind the over-polished perfection of his pre-teen past for a world that naturally captivates the mind of a young man: hot girls and bad ass cars. Matching the new, de-falsettoed musical direction, this clip shows the Biebs keeping it real, looking less like the music biz's King Joffrey and more like someone who might just get into a bit of trouble spinning donuts in the parking lot. --> watch "Boyfriend"

WATCH IT: Drake f/ Lil Wayne "HYFR" (Director X, dir.)
Did Drake learn to flow from his Haftorah portion? Did his recommitment to Judaism involve a second Bris?These questions are never answered, but "HYFR" shows the Canadian rapper very true to his Jewish roots by staging a re-Bar Mitzvah that mixes the holy with the hip-hop. --> watch "HYFR"

So, stick with it, since it's some of the most graceful, gravity-defying dancing you've seen since Christopher Walken graced a music video. --> watch "In The End"
