Well HM fam…after 3 plus years (I’ve kinda lost count), probably about 1500 posts and close to 3 million hits…the time as come for me to say goodbye to Honorable Media. Over the past several months things have picked up so much in my life (mainly work) that I just don’t have the time to maintain HM to the standards you all have grown accustomed to. So instead of falling off totally and doing a half ass job I’m going to bow out now. Of course with every ending there is a new beginning…and for me that is askreecie.com. I’m starting my own site from scratch to better represent where I’m at in life now. I don’t want to be relegated to just talking music videos and leaked music…so my site will cover just about everything…current events, politics, gossip, movies, tv, of course music….and just life in general. So…if you have enjoyed my colorful commentary over the past few years then feel free to check me out at my new site. You will definitely see a different side of me and I will have a whoooole lot more to say.

I want to thank you all for your continued support and love for HM. Without you all this site wouldn’t be what it is and I wouldn’t have been able to keep the motivation to keep it going this long. I have to shout out Thesis for holding it down as long as he did and always injecting the unexpected in the site. But most importantly I have to thank The Honorable who gave me the opportunity to take his site and run with it. I’ve enjoyed every moment of being a writer at HM and I’m happy to report that The Honorable is going to be giving it new life and reinventing it at music.hm.com. I don’t know the exact date but definitely be on the lookout for it because it’s gonna be hot! Nobody does music commentary like the honorable and I hope I have done his site justice.
So…I guess this is goodbye. It’s been fun, it’s been real…and for those of you who will be checking out my new site…see you soon.

Love,

Reecie

Edit: Since I love HM so much I WILL be back when The Honorable relaunches under music.hm.com. But until then you can check me out at my new site.

Usher has a new video for his song “There Goes My Baby”. This video is soooooooo melodramatic. Some of Usher’s mannerisms border on corny to me, BUT with that said he manages to be sexy more than corny. I have to say the video is compelling and Usher really gives off the feeling of being enthralled and totally into his leading lady.  The way he looks at her, pulls her closer, and even does a pull up to a second story just to kiss her keeps the video entertaining and the viewer engaged. I like the song and I like the video. Usher’s album has been a huge success so far so this video will only add to it.

What do you guys think of the video? Do you think Usher goes overboard with the melodrama so far or does he hit just the right notes?

Hey ya’ll! Sorry I’ve been M.I.A. (once again) but I took a much needed vacay to Jamaica with a brief cameo in Miami and then was totally swamped at work. I also had to get a new laptop since my piece of sh!t Gateway finally crapped out. Anyway…this is the first time I’ve had the chance to sit down and see what music hit the net in the past week and I’m happy to see what my favorite song from Corrine Baily Rae’s album has a new video for it. Corrinne always keeps it subtle and simple, yet she still manages to be compelling at the same time. The song is so sultry and laid back and the video perfectly captures that. It’s sexy in an effortless and not in your face type of way. I think there is something to be said for someone who manages a certain mystique to contrast with so many of the artists (even some of my favs) who just put it all (tits, ass, legs, crotch, etc.) out there. Love the video and love the song…this definitely gets my thumbs up.

What do you guys think of the video and the song? Do you think she makes the video compelling with her subtlety or is she just boring?

AOL has the full album preview of Dwele’s new album “W.ants, W.orld, W.omen”. I love Dwele and have been a huuuge fan of his since his first album so I’m always happy to hear new music from him. I probably won’t have time to write up a review of the album since I’m taking a much needed vacation but I definitely plan on having this on my ipod before I leave. Check out his album and come back and post your thoughts. Click here to listen

What do you guys think of the album? Will Dwele ever stop being slept on?

Soulja Boy has a new video for his song “Pretty Boy Swag”. I don’t normally post a lot of Soulja Boy’s music..and five seconds into watching the video I was going to turn it off until I realized that this is the song that everybody goes crazy for in the clubs. I’m not jocking it that much, but it’s still a very catchy song so I figure I’ll give the video a chance. The video is a typical rap video BUT I will give Soulja Boy credit for making something that doesn’t look at all bootleg. This actually looks like something Fabolous would do so for Soulja Boy that is an upgrade.

What do you guys think of the song/video? Is this a big club hit in your town?
