One of the most talked about musical moments recently is easily Jay-Z’s widely acclaimed show as the headlining act at the Rock cult festival Glastonbury. Noel Gallagher of the Rock group Oasis criticized the organizers decision to choose Jay-Z to headline the festival saying that he/Hip Hop was wrong for it. Well Hov proved him [...]
This weekend I checked out the new flick “Wanted” starring James McAvoy, Morgan Freeman, and Angelina Jolie. I LOVED IT! I love Action movies and this movie was jam packed with action. But the great part is that it was also a little office space-ish. James McAvoy did a great job adding comedy to the movie. [...]
Lupe Fiasco has an unreleased track that hit the net called “Where Do I Go”. I’m kinda digging this. Lupe has a tendency to be overly lyrical, but this song is much more straightforward and easy to follow than usual. Actually the flow and production kind of reminds me of something that Cassidy would put [...]
R. Kelly has a new song called “Playas Get Lonely”. I know some folks out there are still salty about him getting off, but he did…so back to the business of posting music (oh yeah and don’t front like you haven’t been stepping in the name of love for the past 4 years anyway). I’m [...]
Common has a new song called “Announcement” featuring Pharrell. I’m digging this…the vibe is chill and very summer pool party-ish. I love me some Common and there is no doubt that he is one of the most compelling storytellers in the Hip Hop game, but it’s nice to just get a brainless fun song from [...]
Jennifer Hudson has a new video for her song “Spotlight”. I like her haircut and her whole look is fab. When I first posted this song a few months back I mentioned that I worry she sounds a little too adult contemporary and the video didn’t go far in allaying that concern. This video strikes [...]
Joe has a new song called “E.R.”. This is a clever little joint that uses medical attention as metaphor for love and all that jazz. I like this…the production is kinda hot and Joe’s voice is smooth and wonderful as usual. He has really dropped the ball with his past videos by failing to broaden [...]
Usher started off the 2008 BET Awards with a bang with one the most rousing renditions of “Love In This Club” I’ve seen him do. He had the choreography, sex appeal, pyrotechnics…just about everything except live singing. I’m actually willing to give him half a pass on not singing live since it was just nice [...]
Raheem DeVaughn has a new track called “Text Messages”. Ok now…I see Raheem has stepped up his sex appeal game with this track. I’m loving the production, his voice is silky smooth, and the lyrics have that slightly raunchy R. Kelly thing going on without being ridiculous. I’m really digging this…I’ll have to cop the [...]
Rihanna has a song from “Good Girl Gone Bad” that is one of my favorite jams of the moment, called “Say It”, that samples a classic reggae joint. I’m sure a majority of her fans have no idea what song “Say It” samples, so I decided to test the lovely HM readers. So…folks, what song does [...]
