R&N - 07/12/08 - OnSmash Saturday Pt. 3

not entirely new stuff, but still AMAZING

Ok, so,

I wasn’t going to do this.. but ‘AB’ kept insisting on it. My intent was to do new upcoming artists.. but whatever.. I can work it in. It’s my review of the Wednesday night concert that freaking rocked like no other. I’m partially biased.. but regardless, the stunts and tricks that they pulled and all of it were their own ideas. I am, of course, talking about the Jonas Brothers & opening act Demi Lovato. (Click the picture to find info about her meet & greets.)

I’ll leave my own struggles to get there out of this. LoL. But it totally was some struggles. I was freaking out & praying like the whole time… even while on the way there. It didn’t look too good.

For those with Lawn seats/tickets, which most venues are outdoor, Be happy. Well, don’t be sad. I had lawn seat tickets. I was on the ramp.. behind all the actual seats, but in front of the lawn. & I was on the railing leaned over to see/record closer for like 1/2 of it. After “Hello Beautiful,” I noticed a few empty seats in front of me, so I got off the ramp & headed down toward well... 1/2way to the stage.. It was awesome. & Demi rocked it. I was like.. “you GO, Demi!” :D. I kinda got to the concert area right when she got off-stage, tho.. (for the opening act, ya know). hm. I missed the Meet & Greet. but ya, I'm totally buying her album. loves her voice.

It was massive.. lol, quoting Kevin in a previous “Living the Dream” a “wall of sound”. Haha, I now understand…especially during “Hello Beautiful”. Like WOAH.
I tried to get a pic of Garbo.. I kinda did. lol, not very good, tho. RIP.. Grog Blog.. :(

Coming back to what I’m saying. Bright new voice: Demi Lovato. Don’t totally write her off as Disney. Just sayin. “Forget” is soo deep. Watch the Shine-On Media recordings of the live shows. Ahhhmazing! Again, I’m sad I missed her.

for more info & updates on Demi, visit her official myspace.com/demilovato and very cool fan-site: Demi-Lovato.com

If you're going to go to a show this summer, well, at least at our show, posters were not allowed in. You can retreive them at the end, tho.
Semi-SPOILERS:.. so if you’re going to a "Burnin Up" show & want to be surprised.. do NOT read below the asterisks *. btw, Taylor Swift was there watching near Mama & Papa J. pretty cool. I only found out after like an hour. I didn't see her, but she was.

*******
*********

Very cool laser light show during and between some of the songs. They did lots of flips, especially Nick. The only new songs I knew & sang along to were “Shelf” aka “DTMHAPIOAS” lol, ‘dinosaur’ and “A Little Bit Longer” & “Burnin Up”. (btw, that song... so NOT Disney channel. lol) “One Man Show” is sooo so good. “BB Good” haha, yes! They also did a cover of a Shania Twain song "I'm Gonna Getcha".. & Joe puts this low voice into it. omg. Sorry, I lack words now remembering that. Nick J talked about his diabetes.. & sang "A Little Bit Longer" & man, I really didn't want to cry, but gosh, that boy's voice is so powerful & you could feel it. woah. *chills* Dear God. (ha, if you understood that pun, comment. We should be friends.) Also, I don't understand the Kevin hate that I've seen online. I love them all, but seeing them live.. for real, I appreciate Kevin more than before. ah-mazing. Those risers during "Hello Beautiful" totally freaked me out. I'm not gonna lie. I was kinda scared for Joe... with his track record. :-P lol. & It was fun seeing Joe tap-dance. They sang 3 songs from Camp Rock.. including obviously "This Is Me." Did I mention Demi rocked that?! ya. Also, I can't not mention this... if you have seats anywhere semi-close to the stage, prepare to get wet. & there's also pyro stuff involved, but audience isn't part of that. lol

PS- if you want to see some clips from the show or other Jonas-related stuff, this is also my YouTube username. :)

DID CHRIS BROWN STEAL RAZ B's SONG??

We posted Chris Brown's version of the First Day of Spring, but come to find out that Raz B recorded the same song back in 2007. Be the judge for yourself, but I gotta give to Raz'z version.


RAZ B - FIRST DAY OF SPRING

R&N - 07/11/2008 - FLASHBACK FRIDAY!!!!!

WU - TANG CLAN TRIBUTE


Whats good everybody, its your boy DT, back again with another installment of Flashback Friday!! This week I'm spotlighting probably the greatest collection of rappers to ever form a group. They were the lyrical assassins in the game back in the early and mid-nineties. With most of them getting their names from the classic kung-fu movies of the 70s and 80s (if you can find it, rent Method Man, that movie goes hard), the Wu-Tang Clan formed under the skilled prodution of the GZA and the lyrical heat brought on by the rest of the group. Let me quit talking and get into the videos.



PROTECT YOUR NECK


METHOD MAN



ICE CREAM



TRIUMPH



GRAVEL PIT


C.R.E.A.M.


[Man I had to come back and add C.R.E.A.M. , the official get money anthem]
And there you have it another classic installment of the flashbacks. RIP ODB aka DirK McGirt aka Big Baby Jesus. Maybe we can have a real reunion album sometime in the near future. Well thats it for me. I'm out.

Hey folks,

Now for the evening news...

Terminate on Sight: Mission Terminated


So the G-Unit gang was expected to sell 700,000 copies of their newest album, Terminate on Sight... Even with the label pushing more albums into production and the whole Young Buck situation. Only sold 96,000 units. Ouch. Good luck 4th quarter, 50 Before You Self Destruct. :-p

R&N - 07/08/08 - Rock' N Roll (Tuesdays)

Hey folks,

Drew was not able to post today, but I didn't want to let you guys down. Especially since I actually had a great artist to post about today...

Today we'll be highlighting the music of Jimmy Cliff. If you haven't heard of him, check him out. He's not traditional type rock n roll, but he's something you can rock to if you have soul. Hopefully, his music will help you see more clearly.

Many Rivers To Cross


The Harder They Come


You Can Get It If You Really Want


You can enjoy more of his works by picking up some of his albums...

R&N - 07/07/08 - Mixtape Monday

Hey folks,

Welcome to another installation of Mixtape Monday. We got some new Maino... It's actually about two months old, but this has something of an addictive beat and I just heard it first a few days ago...
Anywayz, check it out.

Maino - Hi Hater



Ne-Yo - A Millie Remix
(An RnB cat... spittin' fire... and got nerve to shoot a video???
RIDICULOUS!)


P.S. - I would have posted up Lil' Wayne's official video for "A Milli", but it's the cheapest and least creative video I've seen for '08. If you mad, feel free to comment... But I feel I'm doin' y'all a favor...

R&N - 07/06/08 - GOSPEL SUNDAY PT. 2

GOSPEL REPRESENTED!!!



Good Sunday to all!!!! Hope all are 'juvinated for another week. Anywho...we all know that The 2008 Essence Festival went down and "is" going down currently this weekend. And with all the performances such as Jill Scott, Kanye, Rhi Rhi and LL Cool J rippin the stage...one would wonder if ALL music was represented at the music festival.

TODAY, On Sunday, Preservation Hall stages its first-ever "Gospel Revival" at Essence in three acts. Preservation Hall drummer Joe Lastie and the 15-person Lastie Family Gospel Choir released "Joseph Lastie Jr. & the Lastie Family Gospel" through Preservation Hall's in-house record label this spring. They'll be joined byLeo Jackson & the Melody Clouds Quartet and many more. Revival kicks off at 7:30 p.m. in the Chevy Superlounge in the Louisiana Superdome.
