R&N - 02/28/08 - LEAK CRITIQUE!

HEARING CONSISTENCY....BUT

ON FIYA (Need A Boss Pt. 2) ft. Jadakiss

Ok...I hear you Shareefa. I liked the very first release and I'm discovering your true style by your consistency. Like the song too. Nice beat, nice sound, Jada kilt it on the co-verse. However....I don't know how I feel about the chorus???? I know thats her voice but....is that kingdom???lol Just don't know how I feel about the strain.....Just....don't......know. I'm just sayin. Your call.

R&N - 2/28/08 - LEAK CRITIQUE!

WHAT TO SAY ABOUT TREY.....

WONDER WOMAN Remix

Well....what can I say. So far....I'm likin everything this dude is puttin out! This track right herre....this joint right here.....THIS JOINT RIGHT HERE......THIS IS DEATH!!!LOL But naw the beat is sick, his flow is decent, the BGV's are nice. The only thing I was a bit confused on was that part that the girl came in on....(you'll know what I mean when you listen.lol) I'm just sayin. But somethin still doesn't curl quite over with Trey for me.

Could be this....lol

But he's slowly but surely doin it for me. Yup.

WAIT!!!! HOLD UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

KRYPTONITE ft. Rich Boy

Kryptonite Remix ft. Eve

I'm gonna have to give this one my HOTT D@#% this is hott!!! I know most of my crits have been pretty positive but I truly am feelin this joint oh man! This joint I would have to say takes the Wonder Woman joint by Trey up above. I'm proud of this kid for this....

BUT...I could have done without the rap lick by....who was that again? It was unneccessary...truly. It made me come outta that comment really. I'm just sayin. But taking nothing away from this amazing kid... 5 outta 5 stars from me this eve'nent!lol

AND WHO WAS THAT ON THE KEYS!?!?!?!??!?!?!?! SICK! I'm just sayin.....

AND SINCE THIS TURNED INTO A COMPETITION.........

LET ME IN

Third place would clearly go to Ne-Yo (sigh*)

I sigh not because of this God-awful mug shot, because this joint is actually hott....but that voice just doesn't do this justice. BIIIIGGGG ups to the producer. It sounds fiya-like really. But you guys would just have to hear this. I think you'll agree with me....if you have conscientious hearing....Did I spell that right? I'm just sayin...

02/27/08 - Hump Day EXCLUSIVES!

Yo boy Dilly here, hittin' u with some more hottness 'cause we half way to the weekend.

Mariah Carey Shows You How To Touch Her BodyThe ever beautiful Mariah Carey has just released her new video for her lead single off E=Mc2 and it's pretty hot. Well come to think of it, I really don't know if it is or not I just watch any MC video's just to look at it. Peep it here and enjoy.

Mariah Carey - Touch My Body (Audio)

2 Pistols Says She Got ItAnother cat from Florida makin' movies, 2 Pistol is killin' the airwaves across America with his infectious single "She Got It." The track features fellow floridian T-Pain, naturally, and was rerecorded with a better beat after the first track created sum buzz but was missing sumtin. Not much to say bout 2 Pistols yet to me he ain't nutin special just got a hot single. Come to think of it, he kinda look like a fake Plies, but anyway here go the track and video.

Big Tuck Back For The 2nd Round
My man from D-Town who tried to put Dallas on the map but failed, is back w/ his lead single off his sophomore album. Might take off, might not, either way I'm luvin the joint. Turn up your volumes and peep the track here.

Big Tuck - Not A Stain On Me

Certified G?
Cali rapper Glasses Malone, whose been bouncing around records labels for years has finally found a home with Cash Money and has released his debut single "Certified" with Akon. First bein' courted by Def Jam, Interscope, Atlantic, Malone decided with Sony Records as well as having a strong affiliation with Game's Black Wall Street imprint. After things didn't pop off with Sony he was released and now is attempting to make things right. The song is bubbling around now across the U.S. and is very reminiscent of Jeezy's/Akon - Soul Survior. Peep the track here and let us know what you think.

Glasses Malone - Certified

Ray J Just Won't Go Away
Brandy's brother, hot off his sex tape fame has created another buzz worthy track with up and comer Yung Berg. Sexy Can I, can be heard on damn near every radio station in the U.S. and all over MTV Jams and BET. Sheit my 'cuzin in the UK even says it's gettin spun over there. So if you haven't heard it, yep, Ray J, got another one. Although quite the opposite track from One Wish, Ray J's last semi hit, its still has the same buzz but still don't think it gonna help move any units. At least not Brandy numbers. Either way peep the video here. And shout outs to my man Yung Berg, watch out for that one.

Ray J ft. Yung Berg -Sexy Can I (Audio)

I'm out enjoy, and see u next Hump Day.

No one is allergic to this Ragweed, fans just can't get enough of them.

A Tool To Hard Rock



For years the band "Tool" has been blowing out ear drums, and sending messages to people through their music which to say the least........Thought provoking. Front man of the band Maynard James Keenan is a genius to many, and is currently in the process of writing new material. Tool has been nominated at the Grammy's several times, and has even won 3 times including: Best recording package in their most recent LP, 10,000 Days. Hold on tight fans, hopefully in the next year Tool will release their 5th studio album.

Good Evenin' once again on this Gospel Sunday. I promise I'll start a bit sooner from now on but the Lord does keep us busy. But let's get right too it.

STRONGER

We doin a strong line up today. Myron Butler & Levi is killin it with Stronger. If you go to church or not.....respect the music! You can't deny it's hottness! Oh, listen to the ministry, but don't turn ya dial just BECAUSE its gospel. The beat should keep you as soon as it drops. I'm just sayin.

Sometimes I can't even tell if they're using tracks. Just sick. = )

DANG!!! I GOTTA DO IT!

I gotta do this but....Karen...I'm not feelin this one.lol Please don't get me wrong, Karen Clark Sheard is the voice but I must admit I've never been too keen on J. Moss doin anyones BGV's (Background vocals). I'm just sayin. I love their music but I'd have to say this one is a miss. Luv you Karen!!!!!!!

BE BLESSED

BUT!!!! Since I can't let her go out like that, I'll bless you guys with one of her better moments. You're welcome.lol Praise the Lord for this photo too. = ) Good job Karen.

OKAY J!!!!

I'M NOT PERFECT

AND... I mean that in a good way.lol I'm feelin this joint. However I will say that I don't know how I feel about the duo with Anthony Hamilton. It just......don't......curl all the way over for me. I'm just sayin. Still not feelin the BGV's but dude can write and yeah he can sing. =1 Gotta luv it. He killed this with Karen though...

I'm mad at that note on 5:17 on the video.lol Just sayin....
