Thicke's 'Sweetest Love' Video

After raising a few eyebrows by claiming VIBE magazine has a strict policy against having white artists on the cover, Robin Thicke has released a video for his latest single 'Sweetest Love,' the perfect compliment to the sexy slow jam. The low definition black and white video alternate between two scenes, the blue eyed soul crooner singing at the piano and the bedroom featuring a scantily clad Jessica White. The ultra sexy bedroom scenes are made to resemble home a made movie. Needless to say, Thicke and his lady end up making the sweetest love.

Thicke Claims VIBE Is Something Else
The album cover for Robin Thicke's upcoming set has surfaced on the net. Something Else hits the streets September 30th. Speaking of Robin Thicke, the blue eyed soul singer claims VIBE Magazine refused to put him on the cover because they have a strict policy against having white artists on the cover. Could this be a case of reverse racism? A strict policy that doesn't allow white artists on the cover? I find it hard to believe. In VIBE's 15 year history, The Beastie Boys, Eminem, Gwen Stefani and Michael Jackson have all graced the cover. Wait a minute, MJ is black, isn't he? Biracial acts such as Mariah Carey, Faith Evans, and Alicia Keys have appeared on the cover of VIBE. Could this be some sort of misunderstanding? Thicke's claim is based on a recent interview he did with the magazine, when the subject of Thicke gracing the cover came up, he was told "we don't put white artists on our covers..." Thicke harbors no ill will towards the magazine, "I respect that because I live in a house with a black woman. I won't use the word racism. I will say it's a tough, but rewarding, fight. I look at Mary J. Blige, somebody who has had only a few pop hits and yet has changed culture, generated new sounds and inspired leagues of artists. She's now a worldwide phenomenon. And it's because of what she stood for; she never gave up." I don't want to call Robin Thicke a liar, but his claims of "racism" seem to be untrue. What are your thoughts?
