Synopsis The accompanying
music video for "Yeah 3x" was directed by
Colin Tilley and filmed at the
Universal Studios. It premiered on MTV on October 21, 2010, and features cameo appearances by
Teyana Taylor,
Kevin McCall, and Future Funk from ''
America's Got Talent''. The video opens with Brown walking down a deserted street wearing a navy sweatshirt, dark blue denim, and white sneakers. It then cuts to another scene where Brown makes an acrobatic entrance onto the top of a truck in a neighborhood of old-timey storefronts and brownstones. Wearing a black vest, trousers and a red skinny tie, Brown then leads a mob of kids, teenagers and older residents down the street. As the first chorus nears, Brown begins his first dance sequence with two male dancers. Together, they pull off high mid-air twirls, each seemingly jumping several feet above the ground. Brown then follows a woman down the street, and runs into four female dancers wearing tank tops and suspenders. Together, they perform arm movements, and work in a few hip thrusts. The next scene, Brown is seen at a storefront labeled
"Popin Pete's" and continues more dancing with Pete. During the bridge, Brown can be seen wearing a hot pink/salmon-colored blazer, gold chain and, in one shot, carrying a massive shiny boombox. Brown then rallies the crowd from a fire escape just before someone opens a fire hydrant and unleashes a spray of water onto the crowd. In the final scene, Brown is wearing a peach blazer while baring his chest, and performs the last bit of choreography with male and female dancers. The video ends as Brown spins, stops and looks off into the distance.
Reception Ed Easton Jr. of WNOW-FM gave the video a rating of seven out of ten, writing that, "there is plenty of choreographed dancing as Breezy shows us he still got it, getting everyone in the neighborhood to dance with him. The video is good for the most part, especially if you are a fan of dancing." Mariel Concepcion of
Billboard magazine simply called it a "kid-friendly clip". The video was nominated for Best Choreography at the
2012 MTV Video Music Awards Japan. ==Live performances==
