The second NERD video &ndash; or &#39;Tutorial&#39;&nbsp;&ndash; directed by Scott Cudmore and Todd Tourso. Like the first it centres on phenomenal dancer Mette Towley, but the video for 1000 is more controversial, diving headlong into the polarised politics of the United States.&nbsp;Clearly influenced by the work of Arthur Jafa - the great Jay-Z 4:44 video, for example - and Beyoncé&#39;s Formation, it starts with clips of news footage - clashes between white nationalists and left-leaning protesters - in a seemingly&nbsp;unmediated way.&nbsp;There follows&nbsp;a break in the track to include a monologue by Mike Tyson at his boxing peak.Thought-provoking stuff, although it may not be entirely clear what message we&#39;re supposed to take from this Tutorial. &nbsp; &nbsp;

&#39;Tutorial No.1: Lemon&#39; begins with Rihanna shaving the head of dancer Mette Towley. After that, the video heralding the return of Pharrell Williams&#39;s band N.E.R.D. (with Ri-Ri) is all about Towley.Todd Tourso and Scott Cudmore direct Towley&#39;s riveting performance,&nbsp;in contrasting sequences shot in LA and New York. And it&#39;s photographed&nbsp;by&nbsp;Malik Sayeed, and choreographed by&nbsp;JaQuel Knight, both veterans of Beyoncé&#39;s Formation video.&nbsp;

Queen Bey reclining on top of a patrol car that&#39;s sinking into rising floodwaters is one of the controversial&nbsp;images in her New Orleans-set video for Formation - directed by longtime collaborator Melina. It&#39;s not as incendiary&nbsp;as her Black Panther-referencing performance at the Superbowl the day after the video&#39;s release, but its implicit&nbsp;criticism of the police, together with her wide-ranging celebration of the American black experience, is a Beyoncé-shaped addition to the&nbsp;Black Lives Matter cause.The video also uses footage that was originally shot for the New Orleans&#39; bounce documentary&nbsp;<a href="https://vimeo.com/58423297" target="_blank">That B.E.A.T.</a>&nbsp;- which caused a furore in the hours&nbsp;after its release on Saturday (Feb 6th). Then it was cleared up, with Beyoncé&#39;s representatives releasing a statement saying&nbsp;that the footage had been &quot;used with permission and licensed from the owner of the footage,&quot; and the documentary&#39;s makers, including Abteen Bagheri and Chris Black, duly credited.&nbsp;

Very pliable and gymnastic sexitude from Ciara, who's giving it 120% with some eye-watering poses.
But how come young Timberlake has some kind of monopoly on this sort of gig And can we ever see him in something like this without thinking of <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watchv=WhwbxEfy7fg">this</a>. Or, indeed, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watchv=4pXfHLUlZf4">this</a>...
