New Videos: Mario- Do Right, Cherish/Yung Joc- Killa, Chrisette Michele- Be OK

Mario opens up about his private life in his new video “Do Right”. The video is a dramatization (I’m assuming) of an intervention for his drug addicted mother. He deals with the topic in a very mature and sincere way, which is really amazing. When you have artists his age throwing temper tantrums like ten [...]

New Music: T.I. Disses Ludacris Again, R. Kelly is Creepin, Lil Wayne/Busta/Mario Remix, Plus Lots More!

First of all, can I say I’m just having a damn good day? Hopped in the car, put on my Dwele cd which put me in the mood for Kanye’s “Flashing Lights”…no traffic on the freeway (which is rarity)…topped the ride off with “Good Life”. I finished two finals last night…one more day til vacation [...]

Gossip: Bow Wow Flips Out on Toure, Someone Is Trying to Put Remy Ma on Blast

Bow Wow and Omarion stopped by the BET studios to promote their new album “Face Off” and got quite  an unpleasant surprise. Toure knocked them off their high horse by asking them questions Bow Wow deemed to be disrespectful. For instance, Toure asked Omarion if he got moves from Chris Brown and complimented him on the [...]

More (Yes More) New Chris Brown

So I haven’t heard Chris Brown’s new album, but I’m really digging all of the unreleased tracks I have heard from him so far. I like the maturity in lyrics (even though I doubt he is writing these songs lol) and he comes across as much more humble and sweet than some of the playa [...]

Reecie Recommends: Will Smith’s “I Am Legend”

After weeks of seeing the previews for Will Smith’s “I Am Legend”, I was more than happy to check out his new flick last night. With a little Oscar buzz surrounding his performance I was worried that the previews were misleading and it was going to end up being mostly boring and slow. However, [...]

New Music: Lupe Fiasco - Toyko, Paris, 9th Wonder remixes Jay-Z’s American Gangster, and Timbaland goes Pop

Lupe Fiasco - Toyko, Paris (listen)
Fiascogate was probably the best thing that can happen to Lupe. After all the drama, he has generated more buzz then his Rookie of the Year debut (leaked) album last year. And after the smoke clears, one of Lupe’s best song from his sophomore effort - The Cool - sounds [...]

New Videos: Ludacris- Down In The Dirty featuring Rick Ross and Bun B, Sean Kingston- Gotta Move Faster

A while back I posted a hot new song from Ludacris and now he has a video for “Down In The Dirty” featuring Rick Ross and Bun B.This is your typical rap video on a sound-stage with a few scantily clad dancers and expensive cars thrown in for good measure. I’m actually kind of disappointed, [...]

New Music: Another Chris Brown and T-Pain track, Erykah Badu & Little Brother, Chingy/Ludacris/Bobby V, Busta Rhymes

 Chris Brown has an unreleased track with T-Pain called “Greatness”. On the track Chris gets a little experimental with Pain’s voice box and it is pretty comical. On a sidebar note, I recently saw T-Pain in concert and he commented that a lot of people are trying to be like him by altering their voice [...]

Hip Hop Comedians: Kia Shine- Wow, Soulja Boy- Yahh

Kia Shine can’t be serious…so I’m thinking he is a comedian with his new video for his song “Wow”. All I can do is laugh at this one. Nobody in the video seems to be taking this too seriously either. His first verse talks about how Hip Hop isn’t dead because it is paying his [...]

Yay! America’s Next Top Model is Saleisha!

 It’s that time again…time to “crown” a new winner of America’s Next Top Model and that person is Saleisha from Los Angeles. I’m actually really happy with this result. She worked that runway in the final challenge and Chantal was really no competition at all. I think the final two should’ve been Lisa and Jenah, [...]
