I was really hoping that "Oooh La La" would be the second single.It's the best song on the album! But maybe "Give It 2 U" will be a bigger hit in the clubs...who knows?

Shame on Robin for doing electropop. I thought he was supposed to be better than that.

I used to like some of his old stuff.. but he is taking his ''white mac daddy'' routine too seriously and Kendrick can get on way better songs lol

Pistols sounded like "Fuck off," wheras The Clash sounded like "Fuck Off, but here's why.."- Thedigitialgardener

All music is shit music and no music is real- gunsnhalen

I dunno, man.. With this video Thicke exaggerated with the whole "Big ****/sex" thing, now America will look at him as a sex addict... He could simply release Oh La La or The Rest of My Life and those aren't pretty bad if you ask me. This song is just NAY...

I didn't know this,but it looks like "4 The Rest Of My Life" has also been sent to radio and it's already making some noise on the R&B chart.I found this article in Billboard....

Robin Thicke Ties Personal Record Atop Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs

By Rauly Ramirez, N.Y. | August 22, 2013 4:00 PM EDT

As "Blurred Lines" picks up an 11th week atop Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, Robin Thicke ties his personal longest No. 1 run on the chart set with "Lost Without U" in 2007. "Blurred Lines" is poised to tack on additional chart-topping weeks as it continues to increase its R&B/hip-hop audience reach, rising 1% to 22.9 million listener impressions, according to Nielsen BDS.

The track's reign on the Adult R&B airplay chart (viewable at billboard.biz) also rolls into its third week, while Thicke simultaneously breaks into the top 10 with follow-up single "For the Rest of My Life" (11-10). Only one other artist has posted two concurrent top 10s at the format this year: Tamar Braxton with "Love & War" and "The One" in three frames last month. No artists achieved this feat in 2012.

Ready...set...hike! VIBE cover star Robin Thicke heads to the football field for the "Give It 2 U" remix video featuring Kendrick Lamar and 2 Chainz. Thicke teams with "Blurred Lines" director Diane Martel again for the visuals that find the R&B singer surrounded by a gang of women on the football field. (They keep their clothes on this time.)

College dance teams the Albany State University Golden Passionettes and Alabama State Stingettes make cameos in the video, as does Thicke's and Paula Patton's son Julian Fuego. The self-proclaimed King of New York rides around in a mini-monster truck, while 2 Chainz gets down with champagne, caviar and cotton candy. This video will definitely get you excited for football season.

"Give It 2 U" is the third single off Blurred Lines, the title of Thicke's sixth LP. The original track features Lamar, but the album's deluxe edition includes the 2 Chainz assisted remix as a bonus cut.

In between takes of his “Give It 2 U” video, Robin Thicke described the scene in one sentence. “It’s a Diane Martel dream, and I’m just happy to be here,” he said. Director Martel, of Thicke’s VMA-nominated “Blurred Lines” and Miley Cyrus“We Can’t Stop,” has created a clip equally as wild and tasteless, only it features Thicke’s son and an ass float.

Thicke stars as a referee-turned-halftime performer, riding shirtless on a mini-monster truck. (Kendrick Lamar rides with his shirt on.) His son Julian Fuego, also suited up, dances before he announces 2 Chainz, who yells his verse as an ass float — half black, half white, because diversity counts for something — slowly pulls up behind him. Fuego’s presence begs so many questions — mainly, whether this toddler knows 2 Chainz better than Sophia Grace and Rosie.

Meanwhile, among the all-female football players and cheerleaders (of course), this video features more props than any other that Martel directed this year: confetti, a flared dress of cotton candy, posterboard signs with crude drawings of Thicke himself, the cardboard cutout crowd and a life-sized bottle and wad of $100 bills as mascots. Oh, and a huge spoon. Possibly for another form of recreation. (2 CHAINZ.)

Whew.

Missy already showed the proper use for a marching band in a video.

Also, I wonder if Paula is gonna have words with his ass after this. He looked a little too comfortable with the "luxury girl" in the blonde wig. lol

If she didn't have a problem with the R-rated version of the "Blurred Lines" video,I don't think she will have a problem with this new video. lol

I know right. I like him, but lately, I'm not sure what the hell is going on with all the triflingness. Especially after last night on the VMA's.

I like the video boxed I also like the "Blurred Lines" video

His videos in the past were functional,but not very exciting.Notice that,for the first time in his career,he's got people talking about his videos.I think that's a good thing.

I know some women think this stuff is degrading,but it's just good fun lol

Reading the reactions on Youtube it would probably have been a smarter move to release a video for "For The Rest Of My Life" or so. Now people are just calling him sexist and tacky. neutral

I don't get the whole 'sexist' criticism.People need to lighten up and realize that this is just entertainment.
