Red Hot Chili Peppers To Premiere 'Maggie' Video Live On MTV: 'The Adventures of Rain Dance Maggie' will debut Wednesday, August 17, at 7:53 p.m., with an exclusive interview to follow on MTV.com.
It's been more than five years since the Red Hot Chili Peppers released Stadium Arcadium, but later this month, they'll finally return with I'm With You, their hotly anticipated new album. And obviously, this is a fairly big deal.
Which is why it's only fitting that MTV is rolling out the red carpet for RHCP, with the exclusive premiere of their video for "The Adventures of Rain Dance Maggie," the first single off You. The clip will debut live on MTV and MTV2 on Wednesday, August 17, at 7:53 p.m. ET/PT.
Immediately following the debut of "Maggie," the band will sit down with MTV News for an in-depth interview, to stream live on MTV.com. And since we know you've been waiting a long time for this, we're also allowing you to get in on the conversation. Fans can submit their questions (and video questions) for Anthony, Flea, Josh and Chad via Twitter, using the hashtag #AskRHCP
"The Adventures of Rain Dance Maggie" recently rocketed to the top of Billboard's Alternative Radio chart, giving the band their 12th #1 on Modern Rock radio (which, just in case you're keeping score at home, is a record no one can even come close to matching). I'm With You, their 10th studio album (and first with new guitarist Josh Klinghoffer), is due in stores on August 30.
Tune in for the premiere of "The Adventures of Rain Dance Maggie" on Wednesday, August 17, at 7:53 p.m. ET/PT on MTV and MTV2. Then stick around immediately after for our exclusive interview with the band, streaming live on MTV.com. Fans can submit their questions for RHCP via Twitter, using the hashtag #AskRHCP.

#New #Video: COMMON feat. NAS "Ghetto Dreams" #nowplaying
The Chicago MC kicks an ode to the hood over the No I.D. banger, replete with a scratched chorus and verse by Nas, who leaked the song on Twitter over the weekend.
"I decided to write about ghetto dreams just in a way that was raw," Common told MTV, of his inspiration for the song. "I almost approached it like I was a character because I don't smoke cigarettes and blah, blah, blah. But I still was talking abut those things 'cause it's like, if I step in the shoes of myself and my other friends and people that just dream about higher things coming from a tougher place. I told it in respect to the relationship I got with my lady, it's ill. It's not a love song or none of that; it's just raw. It's ill lyrics man, I'm telling you."
Calling on No I.D. -- the revered Chicago producer, who previously crafted Com's 1994 classic LP 'Resurrection' -- to produce the entirety of 'The Dreamer, The Believer,' was a long-overdue move for Common. While the music marks a return to form for the MC and his longtime collaborator, the artwork is a throwback as well, depicting a skinny young Common and Nas, in a photograph from a video shoot in the mid '90s.
"We was at a Fat Joe video, I think," Common said of the shot. "Two young MCs, young dudes, just real young cats, one from Chicago, one from Queens that just ended up reconnecting and connecting and always being cool. I ain't going to say 'reconnected,' 'cause every time me and Nas always would chop it up, I felt like we was two musicians that really just loved and respected each other, two voices that really mean something to the culture and respect the culture. So, we always had on a personal level just a respect for each other."
Common's highly anticipated ninth album 'The Dreamer, The Believer,' will be in stores this fall on Warner Bros. Records.

@JayZ & @KanyeWest 'OTIS' #Video Premiere #TONIGHT 8:56 p.m. ET/PT on @MTV, @MTV2, mtvU, MTV.com, @BET
Now that fans have fully digested Jay-Z and Kanye West's Watch the Throne, they can look forward to the duo's video for "Otis," which premieres Thursday at 8:56 p.m. ET/PT on MTV, MTV2, mtvU, MTV.com and BET.
On Wednesday's "RapFix Live," Sway Calloway sat down with New York's Power 105.1 radio host Angela Yee and MTV News' Rob Markman to discuss the just-released teaser for the Spike Jonze-directed video.
"You can see Jay-Z looks excited, doing things I never seen him do before in that one second — and Kanye as well," Yee said of the brief clip. "Well, Kanye is always a little excited, but I think it's good to see the two of them together too."
Don't miss the premiere of Kanye West and Jay-Z's "Otis" video Thursday at 8:56 p.m. ET/PT on MTV, MTV2, mtvU, MTV.com and BET!
The 15-second clip shows Jay-Z and Kanye West on set with pyrotechnics and not much else. Viewers see Jay gripping his red snapback cap low and then Kanye screaming with excitement while grabbing the camera with a huge American flag draped in the background. The flag is similar to the "Otis" single art by Givenchy designer Riccardo Tisci.
On Wednesday morning, fans were already tweeting about looking forward to the "Otis" premiere. "Just read that Spike Jonze is directing the video for Kanye West and Jay Z's new single 'Otis.' That should be something special," tweeted fan @ChrisBevan89. "The teaser to @kanyewest and Hov 'Otis' video looks crazy," added @Above_Par.
"They got Riccardo Tisci from Givenchy to do the [album] cover art, you have the American flag on the 'Otis' cover art, and you see a little bit of that in the video," Markman said. "They're giving you clues along the way, but we're seeing 1/20th of the picture that we're probably going to get tomorrow."
Read how Jay-Z and Kanye West's "Otis" defied radio rules.
The release of WTT has been very exciting for the hip-hop world, and Yee recalled where she was Sunday evening in the hours leading up to the album's drop. "I was in my bed at, like, 11 o'clock on Twitter, and I think at 11:30 it was available on iTunes on Sunday night, and everybody just went crazy," Yee said. "Like the whole entire night, people were just staying up downloading the whole entire album."
Markman said Thursday night's "Otis" premiere will cause similar excitement. "It's going to be an event," he said. "The way everybody gathered around iTunes to get the album, everybody is going to gather around their TV or MTV.com and sit in for this event and watch the video."
Yee has already made her plans: "I will be in front of the TV to watch the premiere of 'Otis' on MTV."

@JayZ & @KanyeWest #album deal irks #Indie retailers
Watch the Throne is due for release on iTunes on 8 August
Scores of independent US music stores have written an open letter to Jay-Z and Kanye West over exclusive release deals for their upcoming album.
Watch The Throne will be released first on iTunes before the Best Buy chain's exclusive deal to sell the album nearly two weeks ahead of other music retailers.
The letter says the deal will do "great damage" to more than 1,700 record stores and calls for equal access.
Jay-Z's spokesman had no comment.
Posted by the organisers of Record Store Day, the letter has been signed by shops across the US and calls the release plan a "short-sighted strategy".
"We know that you are busy, and that you put most of your energies into creating great music, but we are writing to you in the hope that you will hear us and take the time to rectify this matter," the letter states.
"As representatives of the independent record store music community, we are asking you to allow record stores and music fans equal access to your new album."
'Disastrous'
Some of the letter's signatories have also threatened to pull current and previous releases by the two artists from their shelves.
Others in the music retail industry have also criticised the move.
"A two-week window will be disastrous for music retailers," said Eric Levin, owner of Criminal Records and the head of the Alliance of Independent Media Stores.
According to Billboard, between the two exclusive iTunes and Best Buy release windows, 75% of the demand for the album is expected to be satisfied within 10 days.
Exclusive release deals are now common for top acts.
Recent examples include AC/DC's Black Ice given to Wal-Mart, while Guns N' Roses' Chinese Democracy
and the Rolling Stones Biggest Bang DVD package, were also sold through Best Buy.
Record Store Day was created in 2007 to celebrate independently owned record stores in response to counter media coverage about the demise of record shops.
However, independent stores have suffered a decline over the last decade due to digital music sales.
