The industry’s elite came to town this weekend for BET’s Hip Hop Awards. Singer Keyshia Cole was among the many stars who scheduled this weekend to shoot their music videos. Keyshia shot her music video for the first single off her much-anticipated upcoming album.
The track, “Playa Cardz Right” features the vocals of the late great rapper Tupac Shakur. So to honor him, Keyshia filmed the video at the Tupac Memorial Center for The Arts in Stone Mountain with Tupac’s mother Afeni Shakur.
In these pics, you see Keyshia singing with images of Tupac in the background, and Keyshia takes you back to her dressing room to see how her stunning look comes together with the help of her stylists. Thanks to Keyshia’s manager, Manny Halley for the exclusive access!

Nice. I can not wait to see this video. That song is the talk of the town out here in the Bay Area! Tupac’s lyrics seem more today than yesterday…….
Nice. If I’m not mistaken, didn’t Afeni use to have locs? Nonetheless, this should be a nice video.
Oh, I see FreddyO is back on the scene. LOL
A new post!!!!! I can’t wait to see this video. I love Keyshia’s hair. I want mine like that but I am afraid to go short. Maybe I will buy a wig
Can ya’ll tell I am bored as hell!
I love me some Keyshia. When does her album drop again?
I like Keisha, I can’t wait to see this video
Love the hair, similar to my cut (except the back)!
Keisha looks fabulous! Love her new look!
That’s my girl right there i cant wait for the album. two of my favorite people.
Oh a new post… not really a Tupac fan .. Love Keyshia …
I love Keyco’s hair. It is really cute!!
I think the song will definitely be a banger.
When I read “industry’s elite,” I almost spit my soda onto my laptop screen. if the BET Hip Hop Awards isn’t the bigged buffoonery…
On Keyshia, damn girl looks too scrumptuous. Can’t wait to see her in the video. Got her game up proper.
You know…
Keyshia’s stylist needs an assistant. Her stuff is so hot…just not the way they put it on her.
The jeans…hot. But not with those shoes. The shoes…fiyah!
The cropped sweater vest…dope! Belongs with another outfit!
So close…nonetheless, hope the song is hot! Not really a Keyshia fan but she is growing on me. I love Pac, tho.
NO one is checking for keyshia, her new album will flop
They do a good job hiding all of her tattoos, though!
LOVE the shoes! I can’t wait for the video… I really like Keyshia!
i loves me some key. question though why are her teeth so small? when she got the new teeth (veneers perhaps? i notice the gap is gone) were they made the size they are to mimic her old size teeth?
it may be for the best though b/c one of those duff girls (hilary duff?) got some and i swear she got horse sized teeth….
just asking. love her swag and music.
*biggest* no *bigged*
i want to know why they waited more than 2 years to do a video for this song? i loved it in 2006 but this is a little late.

I totally agree. I was looking like, this ain’t the normal Keyshia I’m used to seeing. Her gear, make-up and hair is usually on point. I kept looking at the “sweater vest” like is that that microfiber suede. But upon closer inspection it looks like Herve Ledger has ventured out of the dresses and went Fall/Winter 2008 on us. That is a Herve’ Ledger sweater vest, isn’t it?

I noticed that also. It’s also the only thing I have to comment on.
So this is really the first single?!! Why did they choose an old song?? I stan for KeyCO though. Her cd will not flop, she always has good music. I always buy a copy of her music.
I really like me some Keyshia Cole.
Upcoming album? They still playing that god awful sent from heaven. In fact, their playing the ish now as I type.
Go Keyshia! I luv Keyshia Cole; I will always be a fan no matter what; do it do it!
She love that heart necklace… Keysha really needs a stylist, badly. She’s not a bad looking girl and she’s got a nice enough figure, face, hair and it’s going to waste. She looks so homely, sometimes.
PINKY2083 AND CANDI21 I HAVE TO AGREE THE SONG IS SO OLD THEY SHOULD OF DID THIS ALONG TIME AGO, BUT WHEN IT HAS TO DO WITH MY BABYDADDY (TUPAC) ITS A HIT!!!!!
I still dont know what the big deal is about Tupac… What did he do for the black community is my question… “Brenda’s Gotta Baby?” I guess everyone just jumps on the bandwagon… smh
@mzn
if you don’t know you never will.
Our ancestors are doing front and back flips in their graves…
@charles
def. checking for keyshia.
MZN, you will be too, in a minute if you don’t stop dissing Pac. The same can be said for Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton.
Excuse me Readtheblog??? is that a threat?
I did not say anything about Al Sharpton or messy Jessy…
LOL – GOTCHA! Just talking isht. But it is some fo-real ride or die Pac fans up in here, so you may want to watch your mouth
Look… I just had a simple question. That’s all… smh
MZN – I see you have no sense of humor. It’s a shame, cause it’s a requirement on SR, esp on slow days…
I THINK SHE SHOULD HAVE GAVE A LIL PROPS TO ANGELA BOFILL, BECAUSE WHEN I SEE THAT TITLE, MY MINDS GOES TO HER VERSION.
MOTHER FU*CKER!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so mad at my friend right now. I’ve been to GA at least 7 times in the past 5/6 years and my friend has NEVER EVEN MENTIONED THIS PLACE!!!!!!!! Aww hellllllllllllllllllll nah. I must return, must see Tupac.
I heard this song this morning, I was so surprised to hear a “new” Pac song on the radio that I cant really say if I liked it or not. I was thinking back to Keyshia saying when she was very young teen or preteen and her and her friend took Greyhound to LA to meet up with Pac. Someone was supposed to go with them, but didnt, so they went on their own and Pac was mad that they travelled that far from Oakland to LA by themselves on Greyhound.
I miss Tupac
R.I.P young nucca there’s a heaven for a G
THose shoes are BANGIN…!!!
Tupac is amongst the greatest and most influential individuals of my lifetime and beyond…
And I love that Keyshia is releasing this song. I’m officially a fan of Ms. Cole..
