Destiny's Child member Kelly Rowland gets hoodcentric with this
tribute to the rough life with Snoop Dogg as the guest rapper and the
object of her lyrical affections. If she was looking to shed her
good-girl image — or get some distance from her usually glamtastic
groupmate Beyonce — this video certainly puts her in a different
light. Rowland gyrates as dreamy images of street culture drift behind
her, including 24 inch rims, platinum jewelry, golden grills, etc. All
that's missing is a bag of sunflower seeds and strawberry soda. (review by Craig Belcher*) --> watch "Ghetto"
