Jamie Foxx got the Jam of the week out of the rut it had been in with his video for "Blame it". The song is really fun and catchy but the video is really random. It begins with Jake Gyllenhaal, Forest Whitaker, Ron Howard, and Jamie Foxx getting out of a car to go to the club together and meet up with Samuel L. Jackson. I find this to be very random because I would never picture this group of men going out to a club together. I think Ron Howard had the same feeling because he makes a face that reads "yea I don't know why Im here but whatever!" as he gets out of the car. I also think its weird that T-pain is not introduced or mentioned in the credits of the song but he clearly has a verse.
The video is directed by Hype Williams and it is very stylized. The whole video is shot in red light with hints of blue and purple light and there are camera flashes in almost every shot. The video is a composite of very quick cuts that match the beat. The quick cuts are throughout the video but they always happen when Jamie Foxx sings "a-a-a-a-a-alcohol" showing shots of alcohol, women, dancing, etc.
Overall I like the song and video, even though it is random. Its a very fun catchy club song you can dance to.
