I’m mentioned Rivers Cuomo a couple times on this blog before and his foray into hip hop. With songs with Lil Wayne and Jermaine Dupri it was only natural for him to hook up with B.o.B a.k.a Bobby Ray. Now, I knew about this song a good while ago but I’ve only just seen a tweet from Rivers saying that the video is now live on YouTube. The song itself is quite catchy but I just couldn’t wait to see whether Rivers made a cameo in the video and see the results of it. It’s pretty much everything I could have wished for. Bobby Ray and Rivers on a stage singing, Bobby Ray doing his thing and Rivers jumping about like an uncle at a wedding. Love it!

Weezer’s music has been very hit and miss over the past few years but I’m always interested to hear what Rivers Cuomo has in store for us. The first thing you’ll notice is the fact that they’ve strayed from their usual backstreetboy’s-esk style album cover. Instead opting for a hybrid dog-kangaroo leaping through a living room. The name of the album is something which we’ve come to expect from Rivers over the past years and with tracks like pork and beans and everybody get dangerous why not name the the album “Raditude”.

I havent heard many of the songs but I definitely can’t wait to hear the Weezer – Lil’ Wayne collaboration. But for the time being you’ll have to settle for Weezer and Jermain Dupri singing “Cant stop Partying” in the studio. Courtesy of Stereogum.

Raditude is out October 27th.
