Jay-Z has a new banger “Ain’t I”. I’m digging this track, the production is hot and I’m feeling Jay-Z’s swagger on the track. A lot of his singles lately have had a very laid back flow, but on this track he comes with a bit more intensity. The only unfortunate thing is DJ Clue screaming [...]
Last week or so I posted a snippet of Making the Band 4’s “Together”, but now here is the full version of the track. It actually sounds a lot better as a whole. They sound a little bit like they are still in competition and need to work on blending together more instead of trying [...]
Gnarls Barkley - Run (Listen)
Gnarls Barkley (Cee-Lo and Danger Mouse) returns to the scene with a highly energetic and rock laced track that is different from their “Crazy” success. This track isn’t a hip-hop club banger, but I can see people going crazy over this track. Also, you listen to this while working out to [...]
Unless you are under a rock then you know that Barack Obama scored a decisive victory in South Carolina beating Hillary Clinton 2 to 1. As much as people try to paint it as nothing more than Black folks voting for Obama, I can’t help but be tremendously proud of this accomplishment. First, it goes [...]
Erykah Badu - Honey (video)
Erykah Badu produced an amazing video that is conceptually reminiscent of “Love of My Life (An Ode to Hip-Hop).” It’s a funky, fun music video with great production and a tribute to her favorite musical artists. Badu never fails to add a sprinkle of comedy throughout the video, and to my [...]
When I saw that there was another remix of Trey Songz’s “Can’t Help But Wait”, I said to myself “I REFUSE to post another pointless/bland regurgitation of the original”. However…since Lil Wayne was on the track I decided to at least give it a listen. To my shock, he actually totally flipped the song with [...]
A question that has been posed so many times to me and has been the spark of many debates is simply: “why don’t women appreciate nice guys?” I’m going to try my best to break down my answer in a way that men can truly understand without sounding like a total b!tch lol.
For starters, there is only [...]
Another new Erykah Badu track is floating around called “The Healer”. I think it’s pretty safe to say that this is one of those chill type tracks that you zone out to when listening to her album. I like how Ms. Badu always comes with something different and interesting than everybody else out. I’m not [...]
Yesterday Heath Ledger suddenly passed away in his New York apartment of an apparent (accidental) prescription drug overdose. Even though this blog covers mostly urban entertainment, I would be remiss in not mentioning his passing. I actually really liked Heath’s work as an actor and was looking forward to his performance in the upcoming Batman movie. It [...]
I think 2008 is seriously turning into the battle of the train-wrecks. So far Britney Spears has been at the top of the list with being consistently disgusting and finding more creative ways to look and act crazy. Sure Amy Winehouse looks like a hot mess, but her looking cracked out isn’t really anything new. [...]
