New Music: Cassie, Young Buck, Lil Wayne, Stat Quo

It’s entirely too early in the morning for me to get into the wackness that is Cassie’s new song “Is It You”. It’s not that the song is that bad, but she still can’t sing and that’s just hard to ignore. Also, the rockish/ballad fusion is kind of awkward and really doesn’t suit the lyrics.  [...]

New Video: Eve feat. Sean Paul- Give It To Ya

Eve just came out with a new video for her new single “Give it To You” with Sean Paul. She took a much more urban and street look in this video than the more glamorous Tambourine…but it works very well for the song. I wasn’t in love with the song when I first heard it [...]

New Videos: Chamillionaire/Slick Rick, Swizz Beatz, Slim Thug

Chamillionaire has a suprisingly humorous video for his song “Hip Hop Police” featuring Slick Rick. By the looks of the video it is obvious that Chamillionaire is so serious about the concept of the song lol. But the video is actually quite entertaining and Chamillionaire did a great job playing several different characters in the video. I gotta [...]

If you are in the Los Angeles area this is definitely a play worth checking out (Click here for more info) … I was really moved and inspired by seeing these bright and promising young [...]

Thumbs Up or Down: Rihanna sings Bob Marley “Is This Love”

Rihanna tackled Bob Marley’s classic “Is This Love” for a Clear Channel Music Group performance. The weird thing about listening to Rihanna is that there are times where she really does have a pretty and unique voice and other times where she just sounds horrible. Overall I think she does a decent job of performing [...]

Throwback Summer Jam of the Week: LL Cool J/Total- Loungin

For the “Summer of The Week” I had to throw it back to LL Cool J’s “Loungin” featuring Total. LL Cool J has released so many sexy summer jams like “Hey Lover, “Loungin”, “Love You Better”, “Doin It’, and “Paradise” just to name a few…but Loungin came up more than any other song. LL is [...]

New Video: Deelishus- Rumpshaker (AKA the Stripper National Anthem)

So Deelishus has a new video for her song called “Rumpshaker” where you guessed it….she spends a majority of the time bent over and on the floor. Now…I’m not going to get all righteous and act like she is the only female performer in the world that shakes her a$$…but she just really takes it [...]
