Fonzworth Bentley, Andre 3000, and Kanye: the new Tempations?

I'm not totally sure how Fonzworth Bentley — former Diddy attaché, parasol enthusiast, swagger-advancer — convinced Kanye West and André 3000, two of the biggest rappers in the world, plus avant producers Sa-Ra, not only to guest on his new single "Everybody," but to don formalwear and soft-step through some Motown-style choregraphy for the video. Maybe he promised to tell them who wins From G's to Gents early? Whatev; right now I am just happy this happened. (The song is pretty sweet, too, though I still prefer his mixtape hit from last summer, "C.O.L.O.U.R.S." — "I don't wear sneakers, I wear slippers!") Join the fun below, and 'fess up: Will you be giving the Fonz's music career a chance?

I love the video but Andre 3000 is just over-rated. He is always talking about getting into your panties, can't he talk about something else? Its so old now. Plus all this talk about him on blogs online sleeping with tons of women and not calling them back is hilarious! That man is headed down the wrong road. As for Bentley and Kanye, I liked them in the video.

This Video is the s*** Andre always brings a unique flava to anything he does and I could'nt pick anyone better to be in a Fonzworth video besides him. This is a classic and whoever Junior is you and your comment on this video suck...Um always a Hater!

The song is weak not sweet, given the talent in the room.

Gnarls Barkley plus that girl from Reba, Kanye West and Andre 3000...this video will be in heavy rotation.

Isn't the guy on the drums Ce-Lo and on the right keyboards Danger Mouse (aka Gnarls Barkley)?

Tempations or Temptations?

Whoever did the choreography needs an award, it was slick, smoothe, really eye catchy....now about the singing or rapping.....I hope to god Kanye doesn't start singing....what's with the rappers singing? Don't do it. As for the Fonz...which one was he?

I thought that was great. What a great video. I get so sick of seeing practically every rap video with half naked women. I prefer videos to tell stories or at least have a theme. Shaking your ass while half naked is not a theme people!
